Especially when the Islam "holybook" teaches that all good muslims must lie/cheat/kill the infidel.. protip: you and I, in the western world, are said "infidel".. The only "safe" muslim is one who is a "backslider", one who doesn't believe in/follow all of the teachings of their "holybook"... a jack-muslim, if you will.. Of course, this "jack-muslim" is prone to being lied to/cheated and killed just like the western "infidel", by all of the multitudes of true muslims.... Seems like only a few in the western world actually *get* this...
Except, you know, the Koran doesn't actually say anything about that.

I feel the same. I only want BluTooth connectivity with A2DP, so I can stream pod casts to my car from my phone, and take the occasional call while driving hands-free.
I don't want iOS, or Android, or anything else in my car.

Great, then don't use Windows 10.
I use my phone for banking sometimes. It also does store sensitive personal data, and I do have work email hooked to it.

It's a 1500VA unit. Which I believe is something like 865W? Only cost me $150 on sale. Powers my i5 2500K rig with dual GTX780s in SLI plus many SSDs, harddrives, and whatnot.
And the two monitors
And cablemodem+router+VOIP box
Plus Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra speakers.
PowerChute indicates that the UPS is never above 50% load max.

I'm late to reply, but I know that on my APC 1500VA UPS that I have my PC and router/cable modem on, I also elected to install the PowerChute software on my computer. PowerChute will regularly test the UPS on it's own, and will test battery health and report that to me as well occasionally.
I did have it finally just warn me once that the battery condition is getting low enough to replace the battery. I will be doing that soon.

If you don't have it plugged into a dedicated UPS, you REALLY should be going out to get one. No matter how "good" or "new" your wiring may be, there are still those instances when it can fail on you, and take out your expensive computer.
Really, a $150 investment to protect your $500+ computer is more than worth it.
