Did you even read what you linked?

"In 1973 a federal district court in Arizona decided that the act was unconstitutional and Arizona could not keep the party off the ballot in the 1972 general election (Blawis v. Bolin). In 1961 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the act did not bar the party from participating in New York's unemployment insurance system (Communist Party v. Catherwood)

However, the Supreme Court of the United States has not ruled on the act's constitutionality. Despite that, no administration has tried to enforce it. The provisions of the act "outlawing" the party have not been repealed. Nevertheless, the Communist Party of the USA continues to exist in the 21st century.

You can disable the update on Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise. It's a group policy gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update. -> Set it to not install updates.

Or... navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] and set "AUOptions"=dword:00000002 .

And how it could possibly be worse than Comcast.

Comcast has different tiers depending on the competition in the area. I live in NJ where FIOS is big around here and I pay $50 a month for just internet service which gets me 150 Mbps / 50 Mbps up and no data cap. Which is hysterical as up to about 3 years ago I was lucky to get 25 Mbps / 3 Mbps with a 250 GB data cap, until FIOS stepped up their advertising.

Try to get any Collection Agency to remove a negative remark without giving them money

It's rather easy you just file a dispute on their website. 99% of the time they just remove it (even if it's a valid) if your bill is paid up with the current company. I did this with all 3 of the credit scoring companies and no problem for late or missed payments.

Collection agencies can not leave remarks on your credit report only the company that you owe the debt too.

It's not entrapment if they just ask you to do it and you do it without any resistance. If they went to the guy and then begged and pleaded with him telling him some sad story about why they need it and convinced him to do it after he said no, then that would be entrapment.

Really good guide to what entrapment is
