Windows 10

My ASUS laptop came with licensed Windows 10 pre-installed. So it provided no way to disable Windows Update, which is the most annoying thing in the universe. I tried to disable Windows Update service through services.msc and taskschd.msc, but Windows 10 kept re-enabling it and annoying me with useless updates.

So I took ownership over c:\Windows and physically deleted the service's files c:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll, qmgr.dll, TrustedInstaller.exe, and also SIHClient.exe and UsoClient.exe because I don't need that garbage. I won, there was no updating anymore. Yet Windows 10 started displaying "Activate Windows Go to Setting to activate Windows" text in bottom right corner.

There is no way to activate Windows 10 now, it says Error code: 0xC004F012 "We can't activate Windows on this device right now." So I had to use illegal activator software, which pirates use to activate Windows 10. That software got me viruses (besides the backdoors Microsoft already includes in Windows 10). So thank you, dear Microsoft, for destroying perfectly fine Windows NT and forcing users to go through this. Hope now my computer will be part of botnet, which will DDoS Microsoft.com. Better with viruses, than with Windows Update. Viruses behave much nicer than Windows Update and consume less resources. The choice is obvious! And I'm dead serious, without any trolling.

Good luck with your horrible software practices, Microsoft, you have managed to completely break what was good in Windows 7 and Windows XP!

It's current year, stop using MS already.

What if I need access to Windows software?

>>3
ever heard of wine ?

>>4
Emulators are slow and imperfect.

>>5
MS Windows is slow and imperfect.

Just got an update, now there is all kinds of gay shit installed that is impossible to uninstall via powershell. Wow, good job.

You love to complain about how Microsoft is abusing you when you use Windows, but have you ever considered, oh, trying an alternative rather than complaining? It's almost as though you whine precisely for the sake of using Windows, like complaining about a thing is the padding you use to keep people for calling you an idiot when a proprietary piece of software does something you don't like yet continue to use it ad infinitum.

have you ever considered, oh, trying an alternative rather than complaining?

I've tried, but my MacBook Pro was confiscated by FSB. Now I have to use cheao low spec laptop with Windows 10. The only thing worse would be using Linux. Thank you, Putin!

>>9
Backstory on confiscation, comrade.

SPEAK AMERICAN GODDAMNIT

I'm planning on translating it into English, even studied Elliot Rodger manifesto to learn how one writes such stuff, but for now it is being constantly updated all over the text, so until there is a final version, I wont attempt a translation. And the target audience are Russians anyway.

>>13

Why didn't you fuck the 16 year olds that offered sex for money Nikita?

>>14

1. I'm not a pedo.
2. I'm gay.
3. I would rather save money.

>>15
1. kill yourself
2. kill yourself
3. kill yourself

Well I can forgive point 3 and almost point 1. But why are you gay? You weren't always gay, what the fuck is wrong with you? Is it the Jews? They did something to you because of your past antisemitism?

>>16
He's gay because it makes his refugee application into Germany much easier.

>>15

How many dicks have you sucked?

>>17
Nope. I'm gay, because Russians hat gays, and I want to be everything they hate. I born out of hatred.

>>19
Is it true that russians hacked election? Are they laughing at us ?!

>>8
In the process of refuting it, you managed to validate my accusation that you're just a proprietary cuck who loves to complain for the sake of complaining.

Windows is a window to the soul?

Windiws 10 update is garbage. WTF is this "People" shit in my taskbar?!

>>22
Yes. It's a reflection of the average Windows user, which is why it's chocked to the brim with adware.

>>23
Microsoft tries to compete with Facebook, integrating social networking functionality directly into Windows 10. So it becomes more bloated, more unstable and more slower. RIP, Microsoft. Thank you for great Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7 - they will always be in our hearts.

>>25
Windows was always bad, you delusional idiot.

>>9

The only thing worse would be using Linux.

Any Linux distribution with systemd (which, sadly, is most of them), sure.

I find it hard to believe that you'll get anywhere with just a kernel.

Stallman lost out on the whole naming thing. Sorry. And most things GNU related have become quite bloated.

I'm moving to OS/2.

>>29
Same. I'd rather use one giant, bloated proprietary binary blob and whine about getting shafted for consenting to getting shafted than use the dreaded GNU Bloat.

>>31
It shouldn't have to be a tradeoff. Aside from raising the capital, and finding people willing to put effort into such a project, why can't there be an operating system (or a distribution) made that adheres strictly to Unix and Plan 9 principles, and is entirety free/libre?

>>26
True. But I do remember fondly Windows 2000 being pretty good. I don't know why people put XP on such a pedestal, it was the first to start the whole Windows Activation crap, and got the ball rolling on Microsoft with DRM.

>>32
The reason why GNU is so ``bloated'' was precisely because the FSF wanted to avoid copyright infringement, so Stallman encouraged GNU to be authored in a way that encouraged completeness and full-featuredness. And, for the record, Plan9 from Bell Labs was released in part under the GPL2. Many people would have you believe that Plan9's failure was because of GPL's conflicting with Lucent--and they'd be right, except that the only thing that license dispute prevented was the inevitable failing of Plan9 from the fact that no one gives a shit except autistic hobbyists. See: suckless, libertyBSD

That is the most absurd reason I've ever heard. It sounds more like the fear of copyright infringement is being used as an excuse for poor development practices.

Plan 9 was/is a research operating system, and it's ``success'' was from other operating systems adopting principles from it, which was its point from the start (see Plan 9 From User Space). Linux adopted quite a bit of things from Plan 9, and was on the right track for a while until desktop environments started getting out of hand, and Poettering coming around and deciding to dump his two huge dinosaur shits into the userland.

suckless

I tend to agree more often than not with the suckless/cat-v people, it's funny that they get hate for basically saying ``hey guys, stop producing shitty, complex, bloated software!'' much like the hate Stallman used to get for his uncompromising views.

libertyBSD

Wow, that's exactly what is needed! A *BSD that is completely free/libre, and they're attempting to get it approved (sponsored would be even better) by the FSF. Why is this bad exactly?

>>30
Cool. I didn't know that OS/2 is still being maintained. It's called ArcaOS now.

Ever wonder why there was no Windows 9? It is because of the Babylonian Mystery Jews who both control Windows and fear the number 9.

That is the most absurd reason I've ever heard. It sounds more like the fear of copyright infringement is being used as an excuse for poor development practices.

You clearly don't understand how this works. If the FSF had adhered to ``Unix principle'' the way that you so painfully wax on about, the would have remade Unix. There's no two ways to skin a cat, but there is if the only accepted way to skin a cat is in one specific way that is completely irreplicable by your own criteria.

Plan 9 was/is a research operating system, and it's ``success'' was from other operating systems adopting principles from it,

Too bad none of the Plan9 veterans would agree with you on that.

Wow, that's exactly what is needed! A *BSD that is completely free/libre ...

I never said that it was bad, you tard. I'm saying that it's something pertinent to the topic that you should research. I'll also point out that most of the BSD community, including Theo hates it, because the omission of proprietary blobs makes the project elitist and inaccessible for many, which is why no one gives a shit about the project.
>>36
And it's still a proprietary mess.

They largely did at first, much more so than the major proprietary "Unix" vendors were doing.

Too bad none of the Plan9 veterans would agree with you on that.

Which one? Ken Thompson? Rob Pike? Why would they be ``disgruntled'' at the fact that Plan 9 concepts found their way into other operating systems? Do you have any proof of this? It's a research operating system just like the original AT&T Unix was, and went the same way as it as well, not meant in and of itself to be widely used, but systems based on it and its principles and concepts.

I'll also point out that most of the BSD community, including Theo hates it, because the omission of proprietary blobs makes the project elitist and inaccessible for many, which is why no one gives a shit about the project.

Theo hates everything, so that's not even an argument. And that's the whole point of a project like that, to completely eliminate proprietary software 100%. It's nice to see this idea branching out into the *BSD world instead of just confined to GNU.

And it's still a proprietary mess.

Yet you're okay with proprietary blobs.

>>39

Yet you're okay with proprietary blobs.

Tell that to Theo.
