We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Ubuntu Won’t Be Reaching Its Goal Of 200 Million Users This Year

    Correct, the point that Linux is not Windows is obvious and tautological. The point that a company doesn't support Linux exactly like they support Windows is also obvious and tautological. Compared to the level of support by hardware vendors for Windows, the support for Linux is lacking. There...

    Explain. I've listed companies that do support Linux. AMD, NVidia, and Intel all support Linux too. You're the one making a non-specific claim.

    Ubuntu Won’t Be Reaching Its Goal Of 200 Million Users This Year

    In the context of what you said, lack means "not to have (something)". (compare "there is a lack of support" to "support is lacking"). The other definition of lack is "to not have enough of (something)" (in which case, define your terms for "enough", as there seems to be enough support for 10s...

    Ubuntu Won’t Be Reaching Its Goal Of 200 Million Users This Year

    Ok, I was wrong. You are right. Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft offer no hardware or software support for Linux. Lack of support from top tier hardware and software manufacturers.

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    Lazy thinking, analysis, and conclusion on your part.

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    This reflects my feelings. The fact that some online news outlets mistook a problem with an Office 2016 update for a problem with a Windows 10 update does not detract from the fact that there was a problem with an Office 2016 update and other problems reported by people with the Windows 10...

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    So you skipped Vista and 7? Went from Windows XP to 8.x to 10? Interesting.

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    Experiences vary ("your mileage may vary") If a person doesn't run into any of these problems, it may be hard to see what all the fuss is about. ("I've upgraded x computers to Windows 10 build y, Cumulative Update z, and they all worked perfectly") I've seen desktop users post that Windows...

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    By incorrect, I mean there was a problem with the referenced Windows Update. It just didn't have to do with the Normal template issue. Also, at the very least Office 2013 updates are still delivered through Windows Server Update Services for some editions of Office 2013. There is a checkbox in...

    Microsoft Accused Of Releasing 'Worst Patch Yet' For Windows 10

    Two of the articles mentioned the Office 2016 updates. The ExtremeTech article seemed more focused on how to fix the Office 2016 issue. The InfoWorld article said there were problems with the Windows update and the Office update. The InfoWorld article title is "Users who install Windows 10...
