Windows 10 loaded itself?

Re: Windows 10 loaded itself?

i dont see adds on ebay - i must be blocking them.
or your browser / connection is being hijacked - some isp's have been caught doing that. (code injection)

Then why do you go there? It's a site for ads of people selling. Random ads of items i look at make my monitor shut off.

Re: Windows 10 loaded itself?

they arent random - they are what i search for

anyway, i thought you meant the crap under the main item - "shit you may also be interested in"
or something like that.

Re: Windows 10 loaded itself?

Nah but it was mostly ads with more img code added. Plain jane ads where fine.

But why? XP was fast, bug free, compatible with both NT and 9X applications, and nice looking without being bloated.

Because the default UI is ugly as hell, the search has been enhanced by Bill Gates wife (no joke, look up the animated dog) it's the first version with online activation.
Basically they reached the pinnacle with Windows 2000, from there it's just been downhill.

The amount of junk on some websites has gotten ridiculous. I haven't had any issues on my current main Laptop or Desktop both of which have Quad-Core I7s (I7-2860QM in the laptop, I7-4790 in the desktop) and plenty of ram (16GB in the laptop, 32GB in the desktop), but I have heard the fan spool up in the laptop plenty of times from just browsing the internet (indicating way more of a load on the CPU than you would expect from simple web browsing, load confirmed with performance monitors) and my old Laptop with a dual-core Sandy-Bridge I5 (I5-2520M) and 8GB of ram would sometimes get slow/stop responding for a few seconds from "simple" web browsing. It is getting sad when you need a mid-high end system just to browse the internet (unless you disable a bunch of stuff, but that makes many sites unusable with all the embedded code/images/video they have now) without experiencing slowdown/freezeing.

UI colours and looks is a subjective matter.

The dog in the search bar is indeed stupid, but can live with that.

Online activation is the worst "innovation" of XP. Especially for people that change parts of the computer often it could be a nightmare. Corporate edition eliminated that for me.

Mass conditioning; look how many have come to "accept" this when frequently changing hardware. Moreover, it paved the way for shitsta and rental office; this includes the lock-in you get both on "outlook.com" (yahoo/hotmail/webmail) and outlook-the-local-app when it comes to your files, if they happen to be "office" files.

DOCX was IEgate all over again- M$ coudn't stand the heat of competition from stuff that read/wrote the office file format, so they bastardized their own format and made it the default save-as option in newer (at the time) versions of word/office. The file extension has become obfuscated; under file type you see "word document" but there's no detail as to the file format/extension used.

So everyone saving docs and sharing them with others forced the defacto upgrade of office on millions on PCs. But that's not all! The endless "format war" that persists to this day is yet another ongoing gripe (how many are we up to now?) against M$.

Getting back to that "bastardize their own format" thing above: windows rage, hate and ten should be no surprise given M$'s shitty, shady, questionable past actions.

Still think the final name for longhorn, vista, was a coincidence? Think again...

I don't care how much CPU, RAM, etc you think is "enough." In the end, shitty code and horrible browsers will more than make up for 32 cores of i7 madness- just give it time.

I'll even go as far as suggesting that chromium "optimizes" itself during first-run on a given system, then inserts wait states for "consistent performance" across all platfors. Take my personal dell-hell 1720 craptop. With the original low-end CPU (forgot what it was, threw it out), iron performance was so-so til I upgraded it.

Did a complete install (os, drivers, programs including iron) on the old CPU, then upgraded CPU. Iron performance increased substantially. Then I reinstalled with the new CPU. Same as before, same order (os, drivers, programs including iron). After this, iron liked to "wait around," sometimes (usually?) taking more CPU time commensurate with its activity.

Don't even start on about failurefox. That damn rss icon and how ff and ie "circularly borrowed" it from each other for starters, and how 'bout that "optimized" code? Optimzed to suck, basically.



A winblows ten peecee is nothing but a fucking impetus. Yes, you've got the illusion of a "computer," but take a look at the bigger picture. And while you're at it, remember what cuntley fiorina said: "consumers don't buy the product, they are the product."

and that's pretty rare.
