Well now there's no way to use Windows without being spied on or using an old as forget OS.
stuff.
What do you do about this if you need Windows for compatibility reasons?
Quote from: tsukinoki
Basically they add more reporting to some windows services and flags that are raised so that Microsoft can collect more data on them. I'm going to try to take an unbiased and non-paranoid approach to these descriptions. And I do apologize for the wall of text, see the last two paragraphs for a TL;DRlooks like there's not too much 'spying' involved if you aren't opted into CEIP, so don't start panicking just now
The first one in the list, KB3075249, adds some telemetry points to the UAC feature (the thing that pops up and says "are you sure you want to run this") to collect information most likely on how many times a user sees the UAC pop up and what it pops up for. If you aren't going full paranoid this is most likely to figure out better algorithms for when the UAC popup should occur. Of course this also gives some information on what users are using that triggers the UAC. If you disable UAC you don't have to worry about this one.
The second one in the list, KB3080149, collects diagnostic information about issues on Windows systems that use the "Customer Experience Improvement Program", which AFAIK is an opt-in program where you agree to send data back anyways (You know those popups that say "please help make windows better" that appear sometimes when you launch Word or Excel?). This simply looks like it adds better diagnostic reporting if anything.
Further here is a quote from that update:QuoteFor any released product with an option to participate in CEIP, you can select to start or stop participating at any time.
So while it does add a lot of diagnostic telemetry points, which is needed to get a better view of what is going on and provide more information so that issues the CEIP reports can get fixed in a more timely matter it is completely optional and you can opt in or out at any time.
The next one, KB3068708, adds a "Diagnostic and Telemtry tracking service", and is again related to the CEIP, so again you can opt out of this on a per-program basis or choose to never opt in in the first place.
The next one, KB2976978, is again for systems that participate in the CEIP. And it looks like it uses its diagnostics to determine if there will be compatibility issues with updating to the latest Windows OS. Again since this is CEIP it wont do anything if you aren't opted into the program.
KB3021917 seems to perform diagnostics on your system to try to figure out if you will encounter performance issue if you update to the latest Windows OS and, again, if you are in the CEIP it will send data back to Microsoft and partners so that they have more data of "this configuration will cause these problems when updated" so that they can try to find a way to fix it.
Again if you aren't opted into the CEIP it wont send data back.
KB2952664 just seems to aim to make the upgrade experience to the latest version of Windows easier. Such as probably a few fixes for the rare "tried upgrading and got blackscreen and unbootable computer" that some people got, as well as probably improvements that could speed up the upgrade process.
The majority of these updates are opt-in if you want the data sent to microsoft and partners. If you dont want the data to be sent just make sure you aren't participating in CEIP and you won't have anything to worry about.
Basically this isn't "spying" so much as Microsoft adding more Telemetry and diagnostics points so that people who have already agreed to send data to Microsoft and Partners does it in a better way.

« on: September 11, 2015, 12:49:36 AM »ive already argued against this once tonight, im not going to do it againone of the bases of your argument were the towers being reinforced
then it was proven that they were obsolete
another portion of your argument is that there were a bunch of loud booms, but it isn't really all that rare for a building to make booming noises when it begins collapsing and it's floor's supports start to buckle
them falling quickly was also explained in the way they fell, which was more or so to their side, being why they fell so quickly
your unignited thermite thing is 'supposed', so i'm going to assume it's not really a proven fact
this isn't really an argument worth continuing from here
