This is a normal post Smart lights are my favourite
Lights already have a completely optimised remote control ... it's called a fucking light switch and its perfectly positioned at the entrance and exit of any room. What fuckwit decided that having to activate a device, such as your ipad, to control your lights was an improvement?

This is a normal post Like those thermostats that set the right temperature for the room you are currently in
I have a thermostat, and it`s not fastened to the wall so it can sit in the room I am in and make sure the temperature is right.

This is a normal post It's an advert if Disney paid for it
If you have a 4 year old, it's just relevant information. I am pretty sure I heard a kid when i saw the video earlier.

The thing you have to accept is... Google probably heard the kid too, and maybe even had a conversation with them, and that is the price you pay for welcoming in an assistant.

This is a normal post My decision to buy a mITX system based on the AMD Ryzen 1700/Radeon 480 got the same treatement.
Microsoft decided to pull drivers for said CPU IN Win 7 and 8.
This forces me to go Win10 with all the snooping and adverts it implies...

Not sure what to do, even the Pro Version of Win10 are too Invasive as of now...

Fucking twats.

This is a normal post You can totally turn off all the snoopy ad stuff in 10
then its actually pretty darn good. I keep looking at the high end Ryzen. My AMD 9590 and r9 290x are still capable enough that I can't quite justify it.

The 480 looks great too.

This is a normal post ^ This in regards to Win 10.
It really irks me that people complain about Windows 10 'snooping' on them and serving up targeted ads, when the vast majority of it can be disabled.

Not to mention that a lot of the tools that complain about Microsoft's questionable privacy policy don't bother with VPNs and peruse the web quite happily with trackable browsers.

It's like these cunts moaning about the government snooping charter and their personal right to privacy being breached, despite owning a credit card, mobile phone, smart TV, subscribing to a broadband provider and being on the voting register. Spastics.

This is a normal post I was going to run an older CFD program on it...
It works great on Win7, but for newer versions of Win the uni would have to fork out a forklift of, erm, forks.
The R7-1700 would have meant a sub 1000€ 8 core, 18gb CFD beast. The same performance with Intel is 1000€ for just the cpu...

Edit, the computer would be airgaped and not running any antivirus/tasks/other softs, not sure basic versions of Win10 allow this

This is a normal post you can disable Windows Defender
that runs the anti-virus / malware detection, also firewall if you need. By "other softs" I assume you mean Windows Services? Those can be disabled too, some may be required for core operating system components to function, but you can cut a lot down. What's the deal with doing all that to it then?

This is a normal post Yes,
But doing a fresh install of 7, doing SP2, and she's ready to go - all offline - is much easier.
Win 10 "needs" to be connected, or a work around + fiddling.
in that respect I'm what you could call a "lazy cunt".

Not counting that I'll never manage to talk the Uni into shelling the extra dosh, and quite frankly, i don't think the new version does anything more than the old one...

You can turn the vast majority of it off. The rest you can probably resolve with blocking the telemetry servers:

"If I remember correctly, if you block them in the hosts file Windows puts out errors in the log and then silently queries the DNS and connects nevertheless.

This file should be set in the router's kill file, not on the Windows machine itself."

Sneaky. I doubt there is a way to silence W10 fully.

This is a normal post I don't thnk you have anything to worry about with the
"snooping" as you put it, it's all configurable. Even Ubuntu tracks shit these days so what can you do? You either have a new computer that works, and customise it so it's more secure, or stay in the past, your choice.

This is a normal post Sending back the config is ok.
Sending back your "private" browsing then ads pop up inside the OS trying to sell your wife large black boots and black mamba snake belts - is a tiny bit too much.
