Here's an update to my Windows 10 mouse issues.

A couple of weeks ago my USB DAC stopped working and the left button on my USB wireless mouse stopped working. It seems like recent updates to windows 10 have disabled support for older versions of USB protocols or something. Both the mouse and the DAC behave the same regardless if I plug them into the USB 3 port or the USB 2 port in my laptop.

I got a new mouse and that seems to work OK (my old mouse was 6 years old). Hopefully the makers of the DAC will come out with a new driver or I can figure out how to re-enable whatever the updates disabled.

There are some privacy issues with Windows 10 that aren't obvious or intuitive to disable.  Here is a good link to check out before or after installing; http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2015/07/29/

Wow, I was surprised to see this thread on the sand trap. For disclosure, I've worked for Microsoft for 9 years in our Cloud & Enterprise Division (not Windows). I hope you all appreciate what Mic

I hate that it is supposed to update itself automatically and yet I often get a popup message in the right corner saying something like "updates failed - click here to do the update manually"

Not happy w/Microsoft's reneging on its OneDrive plans. 30 free GB no more - it's 5 GB. Not a big deal to subscribe to its entry level monthly plan but it sets a precedent. I actually like the interface and I'm not using Windows phone and not a heavy Win10 user. Amazon has an unlimited cloud plan. Is that next?

I don't know where I found it. I was looking up Bootcamp for Mac. They had some benchmark testing for Windows 10 and Mac OS on the 15" MacBook Pro. Windows 10 ran equally or slightly better in benchmarks on a MacBook than the Mac OS did.

I finally upgraded my desktop to 10 last week. I actually don't mind it at all. It is much better than 8 and 8.1 and should be an easier transition for people coming from windows 7.

That's hard to believe, I don't doubt the article or multiple versions of it were written though. One thing I'm sure of is that ... wait, this is getting off-topic, I'll be short - battery life will be a hell of a lot better w/OS X. One of the areas where OS X shines.

Yeah, and battery life is like dead last for me in terms of what is important to me in computers..

i haven't updated to 10 yet because I am concerned about any upgrade of OS, but I will definitely review it after and compare to 8.

Just to clarify a bit. 

It was Windows 8.1, and it was measuring processor performance not system performance. For what ever that is worth ;)

Then the OS is pretty irrelevant.

was not sure where to place this post, but I guess it fits here.

Please excuse my naieveity but I am wondering how safe Cloud, and in particular One Drive is in storing data. The reason I ask, is that in case of computer crashes, and the potential for data being lost, I need a place to retrieve it from. Is it difficult for "others" to access my data w/o permission?  Notwithstanding the premise that virtually "everything" on the internet is at risk if someone wants it bad enough.  Just like home security.

The main players, iCloud, One Drive, Dropbox are as secure as you password is for the most part. Dropbox had some issues, but they have been resolved as far as I know.

@CarlSpackler Thanks, Carl.  At the present, I try to place important files on a flash stick. I kind of remember in the past, I had the ability to make corrections to a spreadsheet or document on my desk top and it would automatically make the same correction to the linked file stored on Skydrive. I seem to have lost that feature since (or just do not know how).

I have been maintaining my personal docs in Google docs. I can update them from any computer and don't have to worry about having anything installed.

thats good to know. I am a bit leery of Google in general as I have received a few viruses or PUP's, but it may or may not have been related to Google. I do know that one of my spreadsheets done in Open Office format did not d/l well in MS Xcel, and the recipient had to do as you suggest and used Google Sheets.

Just keep in mind, even though it's in the cloud it's not really a backup.  All of the major Cloud services generally allow you to restore files that get deleted for one reason or another for something like 30 days.  However, what happens if a file gets changed without you realizing it?  I believe with OneDrive, you'd have to rely on Previous Versions with your desktop, which may or may not be turned on. Either way, it pays to make sure that your critical files are in more than one place.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
