LOL it didn't make you rethink Reason or any other vendor that's already moved to selling software as a service then?Iapetus 9 wrote:I'm just adding this here. I don't know how many of you care, but for me, the breach in privacy is making me rethink 10.

It's a bit more than that, but hey, if you're happy with it then keep the Win10 fires burning. I'm thinking I'll wait until some things are sorted first. Maybe invest in Enterprise so I can kill the snoopers.
exactly, they merged some products into avid's line, avid mostly discontinued them, then they split and became two different companies.kitekrazy wrote:They are not owned by Avid.

Windows has been phoning home ever since I can remember, all that's changed is that they're telling you some (although probably not all) of what info they are collecting and using. We all get given a choice, abide by the EULA's terms or don't use the service.
Me personally I've just put a few more layers of tin foil on and lead lined my room to be on the safe side, but if they do target ads at me they'll cotton pretty quickly that I don't actually have a pot to piss in and just direct me to the free stuff hopefully...

Solution: don't use Microsoft cloud platform services, such as Outlook.com email. Turn on all privacy settings, which are presented as options during installation (you have to click the TINY TINY link and not choose "Express" during the first few setup screens).Iapetus 9 wrote: From the Win10 EULA- “We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to.”
While it's a given that Windows has always phoned home in some respect, I do believe that they've gone a little too far here. The tin foil won't stop em. I do get the feeling that the younger generations are the ones who're fine with this. They be trained after all to stare into smartphones that plug custom ads and store their lives. No offense to anyone, but that dog don't hunt in my world. Anyways, for those who care, the article explains how to turn SOME of these features off. YMMV.
Thank you. My intentions are not to march on Microsoft or burn any villages LOL, but to simply add a dandy link providing good ways to fix the issues if you choose to. I'll certainly take care of the ones that bother me...when I upgrade. Cubase taught me to never upgrade right away LOL.Sinistereo wrote:

Microsoft hasn't done anything heinous that I'm aware of, and they're no longer in a position where they can afford to alienate their client base. However, they have a history of handing over personal information to authorities without putting up a fight, whereas both Google and to a lesser extent Apple are vocal in their resistance to national security letters and unwarranted search and seizure orders.
Ultimately, digital privacy is an illusion. I'm not worried about Win10, but I'm not going to use any of the services that hand over my data to Microsoft. Bye-bye Cortana, I'm married to the Goog.
Well if you change your mind about the village burning, let me know so I can dust off my set of good torches and pitchforks.Iapetus 9 wrote: Thank you.

I bought a Line 6 JTV-89F (the blood red one) last week - what a brilliant bit of kit. If you just read what it can do there's a temptation to cry "bullshit" but if you actually use it you find it does everything they claim it does - and is bloody good at it!
Grum.

It got worse, now I have some crackling in the audio, even with larger buffer and latency. Unfortunately it has upgraded my 18i8 firmware which no longer supports the previous production ready drivers, so there is no going back.
I have logged a bug report with Focusrite. Fingers crossed!
