Thanks! I hate clickbait. It wasn't so hard to put the info into the leading sentence. Instead of 'Click on me for a longass video!!!'

You missed the part where they mentioned it's 27% more magical than an iPhone?

And this is definitely the first time that [H]ard OCP has EVER had an article that wasn't a radically new and revolutionary design change. ; p BTW link me to a phone or actually ANY hardware that is radically new and revolutionary and not a minor incremental update. Tic-Toc The Segway...

I had a 2 and 4. Have the 8 now. It's a lot faster than the 4. Battery is a non-issue, works great. Touchwiz works great. I got into Android with the very first G2, spent lots of time rooting and Roming, now I use my phone for work and to arrange dates with members of the opposite sex...

Except Metallica sounds good and Bono is a number 2. As in a posing poop that always wears sunglasses because he thinks it makes him cool and less poop-like. Tell me, where exactly is it that the 'streets have no name'? no place I've ever been. bullshit lyrics I've had tickets for three...

I'll go out on a limb and say that perhaps If it's not personally-identifiable it can't hurt you? Just maybe? :lol: And I'll go a little further and say that it's accepted, say in scientific and medical papers, that it's legit to use data that came from subjects with personal-identifiers...

Part of the problem is that the environment is changing. For a disconnected system, sure you could use Windows 7 forever and be happy. Nothing's changing, you can write your memoirs or run your peripherals indefinitely in your bunker. But most people are connected to the internet, and there's...

It seems it's something that people who like to argue throw around. I'm not interested in arguing, just interested in some proof, which should be in abundance, but links to damages are sadly lacking ITT. IANAL or trying to sue Microsoft so arcane self-referential legalese goes way over my...

You like to argue or something. I'm not sure what a straw man is. Or an absurdo inquisition or whatever. I started off a couple pages ago asking if this was a real problem, if anyone had a link to anyone getting hurt by this telemetry. I don't want to argue about how many people use Windows...

A thread about Microsoft's telemetry is the wrong place to discuss real-world implications. OK. Sorry to have offended you by discussing the wrong thing. An analogy is synthetic benchmarks vs. real-world game testing. To me the synthetic benchmark in this case is how many addresses does a...

I did a Google search, and GoSquared says Windows 10 is 54% of total windows traffic. https://www.gosquared.com/global/windows/10/#launch Don't have an exact number, but the install base is close to one billion. Global market shares of desktop OS's...

The longer this thread continues without anyone providing evidence that anyone has ever been hurt by telemetry, the more and more comfortable I am that Windows 10 is Awesome Sauce. I mean surely there is at least one actual link to 'I used Windows 10 and five Nigerian princes accessed my...

I use my computer as a tool for work and play now. I used to worry about how it did that. I'd root and swap kernels and compile. Used arcane burning tools to even make a disk to install NT5/win2k back in 99. Got over that. Now I want my computer to work and run the software I want it to...

I eagerly await and install each and every patch Microsoft sees fit to bequeath me. I for one welcome our Corporate Computer Overlords. I'll stop now. :LOL:

No actual report of anyone ever being hurt. Gotcha! :lol: BTW, I'm thrilled at being in the same thread as someone so intelligent as yourself! I am truly humbled.
