The catch is whether to trust Daily Mail's supposed digging. It doesn't exactly have the most stellar reputation for accuracy.
It's a fine tool for the job, but it sounds like their IT are being lazy.
A PCI compliant environment has to have everything audited and documented. Auditing has to be done every quarter and documentation has to be reviewed every 6 months. In other words, it's a lot of work. It doesn't matter what OS is used, it takes a lot of time and effort. So in order to implement Windows 10 (or anything else for that matter), services have to be audited, permissions documented, any GPO changes must be documented and audited.
If that's the environment, they're probably waiting for Windows 10 to either become a business requirement or they're waiting for their next audit/documentation review period.
So basically, either you don't have an IT dept, or they're to lazy to bother creating local accounts.
It's insanely easy to create local accounts on Windows 10. Far, far easier than it was under Windows 8. It even gives you hints along the way about how to do it. Contrast that with Windows 8, where you literally had to skip past account creation and look for the "Create local account" button at the bottom of the screen. So if anything, Windows 10 makes it easier to avoid going online than Windows 8 did.
I don't know about disabling services, but I don't think it's any harder to do than it was in Windows 8 or Windows 7.
What the hell does the second amendment have to do with Macroland killing its citizens?
Your people are under constant surveillance, have no property rights, can have your speech silenced at any moment by a mere stroke of the pen, and you meekly accept all this. The government has no need to kill any of you because you are already dead. You are all subjects, and your liberty is an illusion.
The second amendment appears to defend exactly that-- military weapons. The Supreme Court has come to that same conclusion in two separate decisions. The second amendment isn't for hunters or plinkers.
Enjoy the monkey bars, cretin.
And the order was given by a black mayor.
BTW, the bad guy had a HANDGUN. Like the landlord said, they could have evacuated the surrounding homes, fired tear gas, and crashed in. Destroying the entire house is cowardly and reckless.
Seeing tanks driving down the street can bring up some scary memories for some people.
I'm not responsible for other people's fear.
Can you run over Jar Jar?
That would be perfect indeed.
