>wangblows 10
You asked for it.

>>56037654
Yes, it is happening to people now. Apparently, there's a "glitch" where occasionally Cortana accesses the webcam by accident when she is indexing.

wow it's fucking nothing

>>56036676
That's not bad.

I had it completely fuck itself up on update, so I did a rollback - and decided to power down all non-system HDDs while the rollback happened.
When I powered them back on, there was a power surge and my main document hdd got one of its mosfets fried.

Now I have to find a replacement mosfet or an entire replacement pcb for this drive, and then hope that I can restore the drive on which I held all my documents dating back to 1998.

fuck the anniversary update.

Let's see pajeet's reaction now...

>>56038253
>not having backups
you asked for it.

>>56038387
just found a 2016 april backup, actually. So not all is lost, just, all my game saves and custom maps for the past 18 years, plus all the web related paid work backups.

I can still replace the drive mosfet and hope to resurrect this thing, though.

>>56038512
and shadow copies are up to date till august 7. That means my main docs folder is saved, only the websites, games, and my app archive is lost... those can be replaced.

Earlier, I went to power down my computer. Well of course, Windows 10 forced me into updates. After the updates finished, I attempted to but my computer back up but all I got was a blank screen time after time. Just got done installing a fresh copy of Mint and it feels pretty good. Fuck Windows, shit is literal garbage.

The glitch is it forgets to turn off the webcam light.

is ubuntu really that bad?

just installed 16.04 a couple weeks ago after buying my first thinkpad and everything is fully compatible, and I already have the system where I like it with all the software I will need

is ubuntu really compromising my info if I went into tweak tool and disabled the web apps and online sources?

I hate to admit it but I don't have the technical know how

I installed it on my desktop a couple of months ago via netinstall

I got frustrated after having to install wifi firmware (i'm aware that the non-free distribution comes with it, I didn't know at the time), attempting to install radeon drivers but it not really working, there not being a graphical config for the drivers, and then having to deal with steam not automatically installing its dependencies

why would an installed application not come with its dependencies? maybe my experiences will be different now, as i'm on a thinkpad now, but I was too lazy to learn everything all over again

>>56036756
I don't fucking get retards who seriously put tape over their cameras. Like, at that level of mistrust, why would you use a computer at all? If someone has that kind of access to your computer, then your fucking camera is the least of your problems. Think about passwords, credit card numbers, other personal information, stuff like that. But no, people are actually stupid enough to first think of someone might be watching while you jerk off, like anybody fucking cares. I bet placing one of you fat ugly neckbeards beating it in front of a laptop is probably a better protection against someone taking a look than fucking tape.

>>56049063
fuck you, what is a RAT?
fuck you, why are all laptops sold with a mic & camera?

stupid cia nigger

>>56049063
The NSA/FBI/GCHQ etc. already have access to financial information and most online accounts. We don't need to give them a robust network of video cameras to play with as well.

>>56049058
>wifi firmware (i'm aware that the non-free distribution comes with it, I didn't know at the time)
Ubuntu and several variants of it (Lubuntu, Mint etc.) will ask you during the installation if you want to use third-party firmware/drivers and it works like a charm.

>>56049141
which is why i'm on ubuntu 16.04 right now with FDE, and am about to install w7 in a VM so I can use microsoft office

soon I can completely abandon my windows machine

>>56049108
>fuck you, why are all laptops sold with a mic & camera?
Because most people actually like to use technology for communication and not just to watch anime.

>>56049122
I'd say the mics are FAR more interesting for them. Also you would kind of notice if video from your webcam gets encoded and uploaded all the time.

You realize most people don't get consistent internet speeds, right? I used to have Comcast cable internet, I'd get anywhere from 5Mb/s to 30Mb/s, depending on the time of day, day of the week, and a lot of other random shit. As for the microphone, you can disconnect those or tape over them.

At least use KDE or Gnome or MATE to get rid of some of the botnet. Switching your DE is easy and shouldn't take more than 10 minutes following a step by step guide. Copy and paste these commands into your terminal in this order:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

Then log out and at the lock screen there's a little button that's a Ubuntu logo or a little gear. Select the DE you want and log in. Should look like pic related.
