I hate Windows 10 just as much as the next guy but how does a BSOD = a bricked system? Voat is getting fucking retarded. It's been days since I haven't really bothered checking up on this place because all of the top posts are such fucking bullshit. You guys don't think reddit can be trusted yet you guys just stay here and drown in your own propaganda. This whole place has become a huge circle jerk. Trump could kill your mother and you'd still blame Hillary for it.

I don't think you factored to the lowest common denominator.

Either that or niggers.

It's too bad something that looks like fun is now a negative term

So email them to your kindle. It's the easiest fucking thing ever.

I will readily admit, the title is needlessly melodramatic. I think that it was probably in an attempt to make a catchy rhyme in the title. While the poster could have come up with a better title, I think most of the blame for that goes to a rather overzealous writer for the Register, and frankly they should probably get told to tone it down by the editor.
The content, however, is relevant. Most of the Windows 10 articles posted here are relevant in one way or another. If you want to call the very relevant and very well-earned criticism that Microsoft is receiving "circle jerking," then you have a very strange definition of it.

Doesn't turn it in to a paper-weight; you can still hard-reboot computer and works fine again..
But at the same time, windows is biggest piece of shit virus ever created..

Windows is not an OS, it is a virus.
