Capitalising on the update fervor, some scammers are now sending users an email about the free upgrade to Windows 10 which, in fact, is an attempt at locking you out of your data - pending a ransom amount, of course. "There's a sucker born every minute."

Sadly, it seems there is a scam artist born every minute to take advantage of them too.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Just to clarify, do you mean those who fall for the scam, or those who install Windows 10?

Microsoft has introduced what it calls Windows Update Delivery Optimization, which works similar to a torrent, hosting the install files on local PCs and then propagating them to other PCs on either your local network or the internet. Plz send torrentz

I am starting to feel uTorrent was a better client than Windows Update, at least I can remove the ones I don't like.

Yesterday, tech sites went full Chicken Little over a Windows 10 feature that allows you to share your wireless connection without having to give away your Wi-Fi password. If only those alarmists had actually used the feature first... "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
|
|

The people who went all crazy on that feature were ID-TEN-Ts to not read the freaking documentation on HOW IT WORKS!

Who cares is Microsoft tracks me, my ISP has been doing that since I got that connection. Not just these two, many more are into this thing. Who to blame?

If it is not for a packet, I am not sure how would Microsoft (actually) spy my actions.

From the article...
"While users are given the choice to opt out of Microsoft’s various data collections, critics claim this isn’t enough. “[T]he Windows 10 upgrade experience...strips users of their choice by effectively overriding existing user preferences,” claims Chris Beard, CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, a Microsoft competitor. “It now takes more than twice the number of mouse clicks, scrolling through content and some technical sophistication for people to reassert the choices they had previously made in earlier versions of Windows.”
Except, of course, that Chris Beard was talking about the policy of making Edge the default browser, not the privacy policies. Any article that misquotes someone in this way is itself not trustworthy.

Odd - it comes up with a "you've reached your five article limit this month" message for me.
Tried a different browser, and the article shows, albeit with an annoying pop-over ad.

There are still people working at the factory, though. Three workers check and monitor each production line and there are other employees who monitor a computer control systems. Previously, there were 650 employees at the factory. With the new robots, there's now only 60. Luo Weiqiang, general manager of the company, told the People's Daily that the number of employees could drop even further to 20 in the future.
The robots have produced almost three times as many pieces as were produced before. According to the People's Daily, production per person has increased from 8,000 pieces to 21,000 pieces. That's a 162.5% increase.
The increased production rate hasn't come at the cost of quality either. In fact, quality has improved. Before the robots, the product defect rate was 25%, now it is below 5%. [^]

They don't have a population shortage, either.
