Nice bloat.
Have you tried reading your router logs? or have you even tried reading your resource monitor (resmon)?
Last I checked, a seriously opsec'd windows still leaks using soap protocol or some svchost hidden process. you can put your wall of text firewall config but you can't block the entire ASN of microsoft when they own a huge fraction of the internet. nice try blocking domain names but microsoft will fallback to IP numbers and even if you block them there will be fall back IP numbers and there's like 255xN of them.
you can't touch them even with your shit ass firewall.
you could even run a firewall distro to log all the telemetry going on. it's insane. tried blocking most but then it started connecting to some chink IP and I tried to shodan it -> it fucking points to a microsoft owned IP.
no escaping the master botnet. the only way to make windows work without these telemetry is to plug it in a firewall distro then use whitelist rules to only allow shit you're doing. that's all

You can't block telemetry in a simple way without opening yourself up to getting exploited on outdated software as identifying information gets exchanged when they do updates.

Take a moment to look at an example of it closely. Why are some things lightly highlighted and some strongly highlighted? Why is "Brushes" strongly highlighted like an optional selection when there are no options? Why are there dividing lines on some breakouts but not others? Why is "File" in the ribbon tab space but not a tab, why have two separate menu interfaces instead of converting File to the ribbon if it's so good? Why have a third menu interface in the window border and why is undo/redo only accessible there and not the ribbon?

A very large share of Linux software is not well-behaved, because this was standardized too late. I've got a .adobe, a .audacity-beta, a few .aspell.en.*s, various .bash*s, a .cargo, a .chromium-bsu, a .dillo, a .dmrc, a .elementary (I can't even tell what it's for), a .emacs.d, a .epiphany, a .etr, and that's only the first five letters of the alphabet. It's horrible.
Programs have the option of checking for XDG_CONFIG_HOME and then falling back to ~/.config while having to check if that directory exists at all (or maybe there's even more to it, it's been a while since I read the standard). Or they could just dump a dot-file straight in the home directory, which is both simpler and easier to get right. Many programs pick the second option, even if it makes backups and navigation a pain.
>3) Looks like you never did any shell scripting. In case you don't understand, it's simpler to use the dot scheme instead of adding some "don't ignore hidden files" flag to all coreutils/findutils/textutils
I'd have to spend some time actually using a non-Unix system to be able to form a properly informed opinion, but this doesn't sound right to me.
A dot-scheme might be simpler, but that doesn't equal good. The dot convention was originally a bug in ls, promoted to a feature.
It's "simple" in the Unix way, which doesn't always imply ease of use and reliability. As it stands, I don't know how I'd tell find to ignore hidden files while handling edge cases. If I tried for a while I could figure something out with -regex, probably, but it wouldn't be pretty and it would be hard to add to an existing find invocation that already uses -regex or -name or any of their siblings for something else.
I don't think giving find an additional flag would hurt, given the number of flags it already has.
It would maybe have been possible to elegantly roll hidden files into the file permission system.

On PowerShell you simply do this to get a grip of hidden files for further processing:
get-childItem -hidden
Vastly superior to dicking with file names to achieve pseudo invisibility, which you then need to pipe through some regex spell that you will bing every time because you use it so rarely.

I've started using Edge. It's actually very good. Some things are rendered differently from webkit-only targeted sites, text boxes seem buggy and are not resizable, and worst of all it has inherited retarded phone number detection from IE. Other than those it's good. It has two most important extensions: uBlock and mouse gestures. Reading mode is by far the best of any browser, including TTS. Same goes for PDF and EPUB handling. Yup, it reads epubs and is actually better than Lightreader at that (again, TTS so you can essentially turn any pdf or epub into audiobook). And best of all this doesn't randomly make my laptop fans whirr and produce noticeable heat like Chrome.

Thanks for the correction, the law doesn't force MS to honor these codes (and if it did it'd only apply to the EU I imagine), it only allows the resale of codes from junked OEM machines. So I guess it's up to MS to decide whether they want to filter updates from resold codes.
taken from https://wifibit.com/buy-cheap-windows-10-product-key/
• According to the judgment of 06.07.2000 I ZR 244/97 of July 6, 2000 the Federal Court of Justice of Germany authorizes the resale of OEM licenses without associated equipment within Germany and the European Union.
• On 07/07/2012, the ECJ reaffirmed this and extended it for discharge in all EU member states.
• The Regional Court of Frankfurt ruled on 18.06.2014 (AZ 2-06 or 469/13) that the sale of an activation key without CoA stickers is permitted.
so idk. I guess MS can (((shut it down))) if they want but logistically, the effort to service/update activated Win10 vs unactivated hardly varies. as far as i can tell i just paid $5 to stop having candy crush saga automatically downloaded onto my machine. ymmv. keep backups.
