So I just disabled Windows Update from running constantly in my services list. My CPU temperature dropped 10 Celsius. What the fuck? So I decided to carefully keep trimming services I don't need.
I did this and at the end I experienced another temperature drop, albeit only 5-6 Celsius this time. My overclocked i7 is now running at room temperature idle when it didn't even come close to that before.
Are others aware how much Windows is pushing your computer by default? I mean I knew it was bad, just not THIS bad.
they are actually using computer resources for their own shit, you pc is basically downloading data, compute it(compile, archive, encrypt, decrypt.. etc) and the upload to mothership, thats windows nigga

They also use your machine to push win10 updates to other machines. Win10 is literally a botnet.

This is why you need to own your software, not get owned by it.
Read up on the four freedoms.
Josiah Miller
you really think you have disabled it completely? LOL enjoy proprietary software faggot
Kayden Richardson
yeah, but if anyone had a problem with this then they wouldn't have accepted the Terms and Conditions and moved to an alternative. Since people are rational, and Winblows 10 adoption is hastening along at a healthy clip, that means the market actually demands more botnet!

What about using Windows as a guest OS? I agree it's shitty software but it's counterproductive to shun any discussion on making it lightweight because "hurr durr freedumbs"
Austin Hill
Very funny, user.
Lucas Roberts
it's true! in a spergy, economist-y sort of way, once you account for the the amount of energy each person chooses to reserve for optimizing a particular decision

I never update and I don't use AntiVirus. I don't have any problems.
Windows is probably using their botnet to help the NSA do code cracking. Just a guess.
Liam Rogers
Sometimes Windows Update gets stuck doing god knows what and will max one core literally forever unless you disable it. That's probably what happened to you.
I'd say that's only a Windows thing but lots of linux distros use GVFS which literally does the same "lots of disk and CPU activity all of the fucking time for no known reason when the PC should be idle". I disable it by going to the directory with all of the GVFS binary executables, removing execute bit from all of them, and then using chattr to make them immutable. If you start various programs like firefox or file managers with a terminal you might see a bitch warning about GVFS but other than that there's no difference except the hard drive light doesn't blink all of the fucking time like your computer is botnet

And yet you still did not installed GNU/Linux.

LOL XDXD here's an upvote my dear sir!

It's NT based, not DOS. Windows hasn't been DOS based since 98/ME. Doesn't matter anyway because Windows is the brand name for the whole OS
Oliver Gonzalez
What the fuck version of Windows are we talking about here?
Cooper King
8.1 in my case.
I need the compatibility with games or else I would have.

if it weren't for vidya most people would only have a chromebook
Luis Davis
Ganoo/Loonix has gems. It just doesn't have all the games. steamdb.info/linux/ It's a good measure, and most people interested in games probably use it regardless.
Ryder Scott
That's my conclusion as well. My main computer today is my Asus C201 Chromebook with Libreboot and Debian installed. I also have a higher powered server computer that I use as a headless server box.
