Here's what's fixed, improved, and still broken in Windows 10 build 19546
Jackaluichi and 4 others reacted to sn0wf1ake1 for a topic
I wish Neowin had a block feature because all you can do is bitch and whine. You call yourself Oldguru but you sure seem like a clown at computers. If you were a guru you could figure out what was wrong and fix it, but instead you just post negative problems you face every day with Windows 10 without any solutions. Damn you suck.5 points -

Disable UAC for specific programs/apps; possible?
+hedleigh and 2 others reacted to goretsky for a topic
Hello, My guess is that the program is doing something which requires administrative permission. In this case, perhaps involving a driver or a service. In the distant past, I have used JoeWare's CreateProcessAsUser (CPAU) program to do this, but I do not know if that works under Windows 10. WindowsTenForums has a tutorial on how to use Scheduled Tasks to bypass the UAC prompt here. It is a bit of a lengthy/somewhat convoluted process. If you are going to do something like this, be sure to re-test it each time you update the application you are launching without UAC, as its behavior could change, and this could become problematic. Also, keep in mind that once you have allowed a program to run as an administrator, it can make global changes to the system, so be very cautious about what sorts of programs you give these permissions to, and keep an eye on things when you run them for unexpected behaviors/consequences. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky3 points -

matthiew and one other reacted to samw61 for a topic
This stuff isn't free. That's why people don't like it. But if they were sustainable from the start, it would have had very little impact on today's prices. Just like if Governments finally act on doing something about it now, it'll cost more now to act than if they did it 30 years ago. We have been "borrowing" for free the past 30 years, at the cost to the environment. All that we need to do is take the environmental cost into account, which is what being carbon neutral is all about. If we don't we'll be paying a higher price in the future to try and rectify issue we have ignored in the past.2 points -

SadJoker and one other reacted to n_K for a topic
It's easy to promise things to happen when you know you will be retired by the year you've promised it. The carbon footprint of every CD they've made, every case, every floppy disk, every book, all the plastic wrapping, all the fuel used by employees (including air travel) and shipping, all the power used by their data centers/servers/offices/labs, all the production of their hardware... Complete marketing gimmick.2 points -

John K reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
is it like that time when they introduced $179 laptop to fight chromebook and everyone thought it will kill the chromebook and that never happened? True, but this is a different time. Chromebooks are not trying for low end pricing, and ChromeOS has bloated enough it needs better hardware than Windows 10. The other newer trend is the rejection and distancing of Google now that more people are aware of what Google is taking. This last part is bigger in school systems than I think is acknowledge in the tech news. I know of several school districts that were invested in ChromOS devices for students. The data Google was still collecting on the children (and still collects) created a lot of concern by parents and genuine worry by educators to dump Chromebooks and replace them with $200-300 Windows 10 Laptops with touchscreens this past year. Previously, everyone was on a anti-Microsoft trend, and just trusted Google, without noticing how invasive their data collection was and how it is used against users.1 point -
BT partners with Google to offer free Stadia Premiere
forster reacted to ad47uk for a topic
Next level gaming on a hybrid fibre system using old copper cables that are falling apart, that will work well. Bt is only so large because they had the network for next to nothing in the first place and they now own the main network in the UK. BT, awful company, customer service is awful. i use plusnet, which yes is run by Bt, but run a lot better than BT broadband services. Still over the same hybrid system.1 point -
Facebook puts plans for WhatsApp ads on hold
FunkyMike reacted to tcris for a topic
I despise "the cloud", more and more each day. Google shutting down services, Google Reader, Some GPhotos features like gdrive integration, Hangouts to become a payed option for "teams". Lots of ads everywhere. Whatsapp possibly payed or using ads. Messenger's spam with all those f%$&$&ing games. Some apps forcing you to give them your phone number (for 2fa reasons, "of course"), and here, I shall include Telegram and even Signal. All these spying on you (I had nice surprises so many times, talking!! about some very specific subject, coming home, and getting ads on google/facebook for exactly that topic). I have to fight back using firefox containers, duckduckgo (which has poor results), encryption and other ######. Each webpage I visit spends more time to send my data to other sites than loading the contents. And most of the contents is ... crap anyway. Yes, there are some tools here and there, but is more and more difficult to separate the clean, simple ones focused on functionality, and the rest of the web. I do get it, people has to make money, but they do anyway, it's just that the limits are pushed more and more and not in my favor, as a consumer. ps: yeah, sure, Huawei is the enemy1 point -

I wear quite a few hats at work being a small startup and all, and more than once I’ve helped our senior software architect out with PC and OS issues. He is just buying into the fallacy that all software developers are experts at everything dealing with a computer, which makes his claim that much more suspect.1 point -

What a funny contrast between CDPR and a company like Bethesda... CDPR are willing to delay their biggest & most anticipated title to date by 5 months (not a small period of time), while Bethesda would rather ship a broken mess, than miss a marketing deadline. And then take even longer to fix it.1 point -

Bose is shrinking its retail store footprint quite significantly
Kravex reacted to shockz for a topic
No highs, no lows, must be bose. Their entry level stuff is okay, but their higher end models are certainly not worth the price, and use a lot of the same components the entry range has. Huge profit margins, and extremely mediocre with higher tier options and what you get for that price. As for retail, their sales reps are worse than a used car lot. High pressure, snake oil tactics.. any one who has experience in buying speakers more than a few times can tell you the same thing and for those simple facts, people avoid retail Bose stores or go third party/online.1 point -
