    they can go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut if they think I’m putting that on my system.

    The only way to be serious about that is to not use Windows.

      I’d like to flip to Linux, but I have an older nvidia card that doesn’t play well with it, so until I upgrade some hardware win 10 will have to do. At least I’m firewalled so I can block their shit when it tries shenanigans like that.

        How old are we talking? Most distros have legacy driver packages that go back a fair bit.

          Nearly 10 now. Finding drivers wasn’t an issue, but just couldn’t get much performance out of them.

          I’m probably going to update some stuff this summer and possibly flip to Amd so I’ll probably try again then.
