Windows 10 Shares Your Wi-Fi Password With Contacts 487

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday July 01, 2015 @07:00PM from the do-not-share dept.

gsslay writes: The Register reports that Windows 10 will include, defaulted on, "Wi-Fi Sense" which shares wifi passwords with Outlook.com contacts, Skype contacts and, with an opt-in, Facebook friends. This involves Microsoft storing the wifi passwords entered into your laptop which can then be used by any other person suitably connected to you. If you don't want someone's Windows 10 passing on your password, Microsoft has two solutions; only share passwords using their Wi-Fi Sense service, or by adding "_optout" to your SSID.

However, the game remains the most popular MMO, and Morhaime said Blizzard plans to reverse the trend with fresh content. Some believe that the loss in subscriber interest is a sign of the game's inevitable twilight years. Blizzard also recently received the trademark Mists of Pandaria, fueling speculation for the next expansion pack.

my whole apartment complex just got through having verizon fios contracts come and install it, we had to clear out a few feet of closet space and that was it.

my guess is the problem some people might have is someone going into your home, installing something you dont even want. So the operators of the complex dont let the installation happen.
