If you felt like Windows 7 and Windows 8 offered you a little too much privacy, rejoice: Microsoft is updating those operating systems with the same telemetry gathering software it deployed on Windows 10. Progress!

I know I have a WinXP disc around here somewhere...

This is going to be the year of the Linux Desktop!

Now I know of a couple of updates I'm going to have to make sure aren't installed.
Knowing the path Microsoft has been going lately these updates has probably been flagged as critical for security reasons. Microsoft Financial Security Reasons.
I'm going to build my own OS with privacy and porno. In fact forget the OS.

Auto-update has been disabled after they sent me an update that invalidated the "genuine" mark. That is not adding value, that is adding costs.
For serious work, you use a serious OS.

XP-SP3 VM in a Linux Desktop with VPN connections?

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?

Without the XP; it is deprecated, and only used by governments.
They're not that picky in security, it seems

First... it was a joke. But...
Coming to thema... XP is the only not being "updated" in privacy.
Under some circumstances it is easier to get around security

Microsoft's 'Project Sonar' service, which analyzes millions of potential exploit and malware samples in virtual machines, may be available to users outside the company in the not-too-distant future. It looks like you've got a virus. Would you like help with that?

RAD Studio 10 Seattle has an updated Visual Control Library designed to mesh with the Windows 10 look-and-feel. Because Delphi would never leave you
|
|
|
|

It seems more expensive than Visual Studio, and Delphi's docs suck. Aside from that, it seems like Embarcadero is keeping up with the times. Why are more people not using their stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
Why didn't people use it back the Borland days? Delphi rocked, big time (for Pascal), and their C++ was definitely superior to "that other guy's".
grumble grumble.

"The reports of any Billionaire's sad and loneliness have been highly exaggerated."
Billionaire != (sad && lonely)

Well, if you're unhappy, go and take a bunch of that money and help the people who need it. Build a home for the homeless. Give food to the starving. Start a community. Be social, the real deal, not that virtual crap. You won't be lonely anymore. And there's no greater happiness than knowing you probably saved some lives. Just my two cents.

Uh...colonization of Mars? Already done.
Check your news.
We're working on colonizing Rhea now. Saturn is lovely on the horizon.

This is the part that has actually made him more sad.
You see he has found:
1. You cannot help all of the people all the time -- it's too big even for a Billionaire.
2. You cannot help some of the people any of the time -- it's too convoluted even for a Billionaire.
And there, he sits...
