Alright, do we know how to disable this shit yet? It's literally the worst part of Windows 10 so far. I dare you to type anything president and CP related in that search box, even with Cortana 'turned off'. I double dare you motherfucker.

>SearchUI.exe sends some kind of data (encrypted, port 443) to Microsoft before returning a LOCAL search
>disabling any GPO/registry/settings options doesn't do shit
>present on all editions of Windows 10
>disabling windows search/cortana fucks up your system
>hosts file doesn't route the ip back to localhost, check by running tracert
>route add ms-ip 127.0.0.1 doesn't seem to work either

This really is a botnet isn't it?

How do I get my desktop to look like this in Mint?

Hey /g/, I've got a small business and I'm looking for a cheap tablet that combines the pros of

Cheap
Decent battery life
Good screen

And I don't really care about anything else. It's mainly for showing samples of products to take orders.

Is there anything that fits this criteria?

Windows 10 marks a potential milestone in a change of direction for a company that has built a $170 billion empire by selling software. In Windows 10, the business model of Microsoft's future is laid bare. In short: It's all about data.

Microsoft is poised to compete directly with Google in an area that the latter has dominated so far. We're not just talking about search. Rather, it's about turning the entire desktop experience into a monetizing opportunity.

This is not Bing: The Sequel. It's something much bigger and smarter. At this point, Microsoft's operating system ships with a lot of services that users are already familiar with and dependent upon (e.g., OneNote, Outlook, Word, Excel). Windows 10 makes it clear that anything you do in these apps can (and likely will) be scanned, parsed, and sold to advertisers. Your emails, messages and documents -- nothing is off limits.

This perspective also helps to contextualize the company's recent $100 million dollar investment in Uber. Imagine what it would mean to have the world's most disruptive transportation startup feeding its data directly to Microsoft. This will include frequently traveled transportation routes, popular locations, and other information advertisers would salivate over, all at a global scale.

With access to all the data Windows users will be feeding it on a daily basis and partnerships with companies like Uber, Microsoft is in a much better position to out-Google Google by organizing the world's information and personalizing it for users, and in the process, opening a potentially game-changing revenue opportunity with advertisers.

what happened to the /alk/ thing?

No.49366180 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
earlier today there was a thread (>>49354128) about searching public shares on google drive, onedrive and so on. Somebody digged up this Alonka stuff and another dude created an account.

There's no other thread here, neither on /g/ nor on /b/. What happened to Embre?

That's it AMD.
I tried to support you, I really do. But I just can't deal with fucking constant crashes and the cards being defective as fuck. You see those 2 390x? Both are defective and the second one is THE FUCKING REPLACEMENT. Even Amazon recommended me that I refund them and not get another card.

Using the replacement money to get myself a 980. Which brand do you recommend me?

What email service does /g/ use?

I'm trying to avoid obvious data collection giants like google but am not overly concerned about security otherwise. Just looking for a stable provider that isn't actively dedicated to databasing peoples personal stuff. Is outlook okay?
