The best way to disable this irritating little pest is to switch to Linux. Set yourself free from the Microsoft and Apple gulags.

Microsoft cannot abide the idea of any person -- or, apparently, any company -- actually running things that Microsoft is unable to snoop into. They demand full access to everything in exchange for using their software.

The Congressmen and women doing the investigation are all taking money from the Teacher's Union. Isn't this a conflict of interest? We're already spending more per student than any other country, and the states that spend the most are definitely not seeing the best test scores in the US. Money is not the problem.

Microsoft is snooping and prying into everything you do. And now they plan to take copies of everything you write and store them on their servers. They already are recording every keystroke you make on Windows 11. We don't need to put up with this, people! Escape while you are still able to do so.

I'm sure everyone would have an even harder time watching Terminator 7 than this guy is having writing it.

What happens when the government takes over a commercial enterprise? First. all of its competitors have to compete against the government. Next, the government starts participating in strategic decisions within the company. This is the way industrial concerns are run in China. Do we really want to emulate that? We can only hope that Intel makes a quick recovery and the government divests itself of interest soon, as Obama did when he bailed out Chrysler/Stellantis.

If you buy it, you should be able to use all of it. This business model has been tried and failed, but venal manufacturers have not given up. Let's jailbreak all of these black box extortion machines and use the equipment that we have paid for.

You can't count the cameras in public areas in China.

The streaming services are not struggling to provide value for viewers, they are scrambling for more profit. The catalog of available content is degrading and shrinking. Everything is interrupted every few minutes by an irritating intrusive advert. It's no surprise that people are deciding that piracy is more appealing.

They're afraid that the US might be doing to them what they have been doing to the US for years.

Having lots of money and claiming you are important for the future of the universe doesn't give you the right to steal property from the people who own it.

It's just one more instance of this oppressive trend. You bought something but you can't control it because you aren't "authorized". Resist. Stop this unpleasant trend toward non-ownership of all your possessions.

Windows will still crash and lock up all the time, but now there's a new screen with a kicky new color to announce the crash. It's a real Microsoft-style enhancement. When it doesn't work, change the color and give it a new icon.

You are correct. Win 10 is gasping its last breaths and will soon leave us. If you have to change to something new, don't change to Microsoft's latest surveillance OS. Feel the freedom and switch to Linux. Block the snoops and prevent them from making money on your viewing habits and victimizing you with targeted advertising.

Browser technology apparently has reached the point where even the most trivial change -- a new color scheme for icons, a movement of an object from one side of a window to the other -- is worthy of a big press release. Does anyone really care about this? There are no press releases when the handle color on a toaster is changed, and that's about as exciting as this notice is.
