It tries, but all that is configurable. You can shut down all the tracking etc.. Some of it has to be dug around for, but it's not too bad. There are some pretty good guides out already. I expect many more soon enough. I generally go through several variations of Black Viper's Service Configurations when I first get a new Windows version. 10 is a big improvement over Widows 8 - 8.1. I keep a few Linux distros handy just in case. Zorin, Mint (on HD) and Precise Puppy (on USB). I also like to use Epic Privacy Browser and DuckDuckGo search engine when I'm shopping. I still have a use for Windows 10 though. I mostly like it now that I'm getting used to it.

I was immediately turned off of Windows 10 just because of forced automatic updates. Those "updates" have broken my computer more times in the past than I care to remember. The security stuff and ads were just the icing on the cake I already didn't want. 
I liked the idea of it for better driver intergration, hoping it will fix the problem with a couple of my finicky android devicesm course that might be slightly my fault for supporting 4-5 devices on one pc?
Also I know what you mean iml8, I have thumbsticks of xp, 7, 8, 10, puppy and ubuntu in my day bag, just waiting for someone to ring me up and be like 'Help me obiwan, you're my only hope' . Well, nobody has said that yet, but I have hope.

I still use XP. Hated Windows 7 . Haven't tried anything above 7.
7 seems very "sluggish" compared to XP

Oh win 7 is basically an improved xp imo... I resisted.. I only liked it in the classic interface.. that made it look like xp.
The more I use it (Windows 10), the more I like it. Once I got all the tracking and resource eating "features" reined in and figured out where she likes to be touched
, she's fast. I have a fairly robust system that will run cool and perfectly stable at 4.6 GHz with 1.42 v, but I generally keep it dialed back to 3.5 GHz to save electricity and promote component longevity and this OS is still substantially faster than 8.1 which was, in its turn, faster than 7 (according to my benchmarking tests). It's intuitive with a pretty short learning curve (your mileage may vary)... My
In other news, I've been using a Tobeco Super Tank Coil in my Morph tank for a couple weeks now (probably had about 40 ml through it so far) and it's still going strong. Best flavor of any of the factory coils I've tried up until now...and yes, I'm aware of the skeptics that are oh so terribly concerned over the wicking material, but I don't care. I'm skeptical of the skeptics.
They just came out with a Nickel 200 version and I ordered a couple boxes to see how they stack up. I don't know if the Super Tank coils fit the Triton yet. I hate changing out coils before they need to be changed out, but If I'm ever able to pry the Triton out of my wife's lips long enough, I'll give it a try. I know they fit the Atlantis and Atlantis coils fit the Triton, but I read somewhere that not all coils that are cross compatible with the Atlantis are also cross compatible with the Triton. Not sure how that works, but I'll try it eventually and let y'all know what I find out.
What else? Hrmmm...Oh, I got the black eVic VT kit. I like it, but, in Nickel temperature control mode, I have to turn the temperature up 100 degrees higher to get the same vape that I get on my IPV4. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or maybe it's just an anomaly; I don't know. I guess I need a few days to play with it. I haven't tried the eGo One Mega tank that came with it yet...too much on my plate.
Somebody stop me before I end up in a homeless shelter. I've spent nearly $500 on gear and juice in the last 6 months. Never mind. That's not so bad, when you consider I would have spent >$1000 on cigarettes in that same time frame for myself and my wife.
That's all I can think of for now.

A boy was taking care of his baby sister while his parents went to town shopping. He decided to go fishing so he took her with him.
"I'll never do that again!" he told his mother that evening. "I didn't catch a thing!"
"Oh, next time I'm sure she'll be quiet and not scare the fish away," his mother said.
The boy said, "It wasn't that. She ate all the bait."

Morning Nick, How ya doing today. Hey I was reading about your problem with buying too much vape gear. With all you've bought what would you suggest for a new regulated mod for my wife for her birthday? She currently is vaping an IPV 2 mini. Temp control is lost on her. It took me 6 months to convince her to use a subtank for few days to see if she liked it. Now she has taken to my Arctic. I want to get her a spare just in case something happens or she leaves it somewhere or some other thing like that.
morning gang...
got me a subox mini kit that should be arriving tomorrow.. pretty stoked about that... havent ever used a tank since protanks.. should be an interesting alternative.

Hey Soulman long time no see. I love my sub tanks. they tend to make me lazy. I never seem to want to rewick or anything too easy to use the tank. lol
well.. luckily w/ this kit i get to do both.
i can use the new vertical occ coils.. or i can build w/ the upgraded rda.. and make an rta? anyways.. it should be fun.. and it looks super sexy.. so im excited.

I'm good. Thanks for askin'. How you been?
Gosh, I don't know. That's a hard one, Gary. I haven't bought anything really Birthday present worthy. If I were trying to impress her and they weren't so danged expensive, I might explore the YiHi SX Mini M-Class 60W - Rose. On the other end of the spectrum, my wife likes her Wismec Presa. That and her pink iStick 30w are her go-to workhorses. I don't know how your wife is, but mine simply isn't going to bother with anything larger than those. I hoped she would like the eVic VT for the battery life. I think it's small (about the same as the iSick 50w), but she says it's too big, heavy and not girly enough for her, so it's mine now. I still use my K-box more than I thought I would. The Subox soulman is getting looks like a solid investment too.
I don't know. You might as well just get one of everything to be sure.
Vader Black or Storm Trooper White? I'm guessing the more stealthy black.
Also, to follow up, I was just looking at the Aspire Odyssey Kit (Pegasus Mod + Triton tank). That might be an option for Mrs. GPC's Birthday. Kanvape is selling them for $79.95, but you can get 15% off until the end of August with the promo code 15OFFAUGUST to make it $67.95 with free shipping...something to think about...
I think the release date is a week or two away, but Aspire usually seems pretty good about those sorts of things.
