        Iirc, the template is saved.. As a .old file.
        Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

        Excuse me while i do something dangerous


        You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

        Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

        Follow the white rabbit.

          Well for me anyway the last few months has been just as bad in Win7.
          MS really has dropped the ball when it comes to patching!
          Each patch Tuesday there is something new being broken.
          Last month they managed to make Outlook 2010 on Win7 crash when opening mails for a large number of users. KB3097877
          Article linked in OP seems to say that the ratio of programmers vs QC testers have changed so that there are allot less QC testers now.
          Sure seems to match well with how poorly stuff works nowdays from MS

            ...By putting devices on the Current branch for Business, enterprises will be able to receive feature updates after their quality and application compatibility has been assessed in the consumer market, while continuing to receive security updates on a regular basis.

            By the time Current branch for Business machines are updated, the changes will have been validated by millions of Insiders, consumers and customers' internal test processes for several months, allowing updates to be deployed with this increased assurance of validation.

            ... Windows customers have been griping for months about the quality of Microsoft's updates, many of which have been problem-filled and some of which have had to be pulled because of those problems. Some analysts and users have connected the dots, arguing that after Microsoft's massive layoffs in mid-2014, when the company's software testing groups were especially hard hit, the quality of its updates declined.

            "Microsoft fired all those testers last year," pointed out Wes Miller, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft, in a Friday interview. "Now consumers are the testers."

            That's why the abomination is "free". Any poor devil that allows his system to be infected by X becomes a guinea pig, forced beta-testing labour for MS.

              Haven't you gotten used to checking yourself out in the stores? Effectively turning you into an employee of home depot? Same difference here. At least to my mind.

              The only time I've used those machines is when an employee does it for me. I refuse to check myself out and force them to do it.
