what is wrong with Windows 10?

I find the interface ugly, cluttered, and geared more towards the touchpad crowd. I had to google a hack just to get the touchscreen gestures on the touchpad permanently turned off. They were turning back on when rebooting. If I use my new traveling laptop more, I might get used to it, but I’m not holding my breath. The software updates are slow and huge. Who wants their machine tied up all day downloading bloat?

The underhanded dishonest way Microsoft has been forcing and tricking people with 7 or 8 into upgrading rises to the level of the Borg. I don’t want or need it on my older machine, and some people have hardware/software issues with 10.

This.

And as to Wook’s last sentence, a little more specifically about software, Windows 10 has various issues with slightly older software/games; stuff that Win7 can run just fine.

Are you one of those Clarkson haters?

I hate what he does.
Being born to privilege but painting himself as ‘one of the lads’,

I don’t understand the problem here. You mean he claims he has average troubles when he doesn’t?

promoting polluting technology,

Are you talking about cars?

obstructing ancient rights of way,

Not sure what you’re referring to here.

physically abusing people for utterly petty reasons.

I never knew he did a whole lot of that. There’s reason to believe that he didn’t even punch that producer on Top Gear.

I wouldn’t want him to die repeatedly in horrible ways, I just don’t want him on television or given more money or attention.

He’s funny and I enjoy his comedy (yes, even his “offensive” comments). If you hate Clarkson, you’d better also hate Hammond and even May to an extent.

Top Gear is great and I’m mad that it’s gone now.

I like the idea of “The Grand Tour”, I just hope that it’ll be as good.

Their new show should be just as good (if not better) than Top Gear was. They even have a massive budget from Amazon. The only thing that’s really a negative is that they no longer have The Stig.

I wish I brought more stuff from Amazon so I could boycott it for giving the arsehole more money.

Are you one of those Clarkson haters?

This is just an early grindhouse we’re talking about, though. If it was the final product, sure, 30-40GB is great!

Yeah but as I mentioned, you need those extra bits for all the dirt and scratches. The final product would be more compressible due to less random 1-frame noise appearing. Anyway that’s just my suggestion. 😄

Yeah, it doesn’t really matter to me. Mavimao’s LD cut will probably suffice for me (once my crappy internet can get it downloaded 😦) and I might not even grab the first grindhouse. 😄
