Window 10 users, a reminder:

Post by Fel »

They've pushed out the major update (basically a service pack).

Keep in mind that the new update resets all your privacy settings to default, which is you sharing absolutely everything with everyone and turning your computer into an advertiser's wet dream.

It also re-activates Cortana, the DUMBEST IDEA EVER for anyone that wants even a modicum of privacy in what they do on their computer and online in general.

So, after installing the update, remember to go back into your settings and turn all that crap back off.

If you don't remember how, there are several tech websites that walk you through the process. Just google "turn off Cortana" and they give you a step by step process for turning off ALL the privacy-destroying "features" of Windows 10.
Just another guy from the shallow end of the gene pool.
