Upgrading to Windows 10

[Ferret75]

I've heard of a few nightmares, but mine went with only a few niggles. It still has to do a sack full of the updates every day, but I schedule everything for 3am now. The Tapatalk Windows App and won't work, but I tend to use my Tablet.

Stevie, I'm inclined to believe they always have been, watching that is.

I won't be upgrading any time soon... not because the Win7 is brilliant, but I use a lot of software to run machines and they are slow to update the drivers to work with new operating systems.

For example, in 2008 I was still using Win98 second edition, simply because I couldn't get drivers that were compatible with the newer OSes. Its a pain the behind, but when you rely on a machine or multiple machines, you don't really have a choice but to wait for the manufacturers... and thats if they don't decide that your machine is no longer supported.

I've got nothing to hide and no secrets to keep, like Rory said they have been watching a lot longer than we have been worried about them watching, they already know everything they need to know about you, have you seen the documentary Citizen Four?

They can watch me all they like, I bore myself to tears so it must be deadly for them

LMAO!: Stevie, is it just you and me...? Are we on the same wavelength here mate... The more windows you have the easier it is to be seen, where 10 windows has got to be for really nosey Bassa's right? !)

So Ferret and Steve with your concern of not being watched i assume neither of you use any sort of mobile phone??? These are watched more than anything, apparently the powers that be can turn on your camera and microphones whenever they choose, record your every move even if it is turned off as long as it has a battery in. Or are you both just bothered about windows?

Watching doesn't sit on your computer screen, watching starts when you leave the house... as Bod says, mobile phone... but then you're caught on average 70 times a day on CCTV, every time you use chip & pin, every discount/loyalty card you use... all watched. And occasionally, just occasionally you have a nosey neighbour who watches you, records you on their own personal CCTV and could probably tell you every item you put on the washing line last Tuesday.

Software is the least of our worries, and Microsoft are playing catch up right now... they're moving away from the software/hardware hidden monsters because now we have clouds... you have to access a cloud to get certain software, and that is what they are watching... they need the data to work out where to go next. Apple have been doing it for years... Microsoft, just like the browser wars, have just realised and are desperately trying to keep up. They're busy... too busy to watch you looking at knives, hammocks and the odd reference to wolves

Blimey... I only read the description of that video and it was enough to stop me watching it... if there is someone in some government building watching that again and again, they've probably gone insane... they probably see a cup and run to a corner, rocking backwards and forward chanting 'two girls, two girls'

 

[GGTBod]

I was dumb enough to watch it, nearly put me off oriental looking girls and chocolate for life

Can we steer the conversation towards a more family friendly subject matter please.

Back on topic.

The upgrade went over without a hitch, all the glitches i was experiencing related to the new Gopro have been fixed, still adjusting to the change over of operating system

 

[Goatboy]

Does that mean a video report of this weekends Wooplaw meet for those of us poor souls that can't attend?
Glad the instalation went well.

I will be taking the camera for sure, i'll see if i can make a video but i keep hearing mention of rum so it might be just a video of me lying face down in the dirt, i don't drink but i am too polite to refuse hospitality.

I've got a chest mount and a tripod, if i end up blotto lets hope the camera is on the tripod at that point

Paranoia = Absolute awareness

Paranoia = Absolute awareness

True. They told me i was a conspiracy theorist, i prefer to use the term critical thinker.

 

[GGTBod]

Hey you're only paranoid if they are not watching and as we know they are definitely watching ..............
