A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The problem is Microsoft have abused it. Now they claim an update is for security, but instead it just reverts settings to promote their other products.

In Windows' case, this is the truth. But certified corporation momentos are not a required side-effect of this approach to updates.
