Personally, the reason I detest "spying" and such is not because I'm particularly worried about the specific entities, for example, MS, NSA, Google, Etc, (Although I do wonder about the NSA sometimes), themselves doing anything bad to me with the data. Like you said, I'm not that important. It's because that data should not exist in the large databases and for the amounts of time that it does. If it exists on a computer, it's steal-able, and thus exploitable, potentially on a massive scale.
Imagine what would/could happen if a malicious nation-state or even just some punk kid in <insert politically correct scapegoat nation here> got ahold of even a fragment of the phone metadata database. Or got into XKeyscore. Or found a list of every app, (and, by extension a list of vulnerabilities), installed on a few millions of peoples' phones. Or whatever other ubiquitous database/system that seems harmless at first but turns out to be devastating when you use it the right way.
I'm not going to pretend that I somehow live without a smartphone, credit card, the internet, etc. But I'm not going to do nothing and be the low-hanging fruit either.

Anyways, with all the fallout 4 hype, I'm surprised no-one posted this:

Huh, it won't embed. Bizarre.

I decided to give it a go a while ago when I learned how easy they made it to revert. So far it's not *amazing*, but it's not terrible either. The dongle I bought to use with wireless Xbox 360 controllers doesn't work currently, but I suspect a driver re-install will fix that.
If you don't like the data collection that MS is doing, in addition to tuning all the privacy-related settings, you can add these entries to your hosts file to curb it. (The file is found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc. Remember to remove the read-only attribute before you try to edit it.)
And yes, these will probably break Cortana, but if you were going to go as far as editing your hosts file, you probably weren't going to use her anyways. I haven't had any issues after adding these, but your milage may vary, I am not responsable, blah blah blah, etc.
 
EDIT: This hidden dark theme tweak is also nice, makes it a little easier on the eyes.

You'll need to find a duck. Get some faeces of a tamarin monkey. Slather the tailfeathers of the duck in the faeces, then have it spin three times on top of your monitor, five times on your PC, and one more time on your modem. Make sure it goes clockwise on everything BUT the modem.
Then, tell us what kind of message the launcher actually gives you when it fails to log in because "duznt werk, halp" means we can't. Help you, that is.

There's something on the teaser page.
It's got numbers, and the numbers are going down. What do you think this could mean?
Could it be... a timer!? GUYS! I CRACKED THE SECRET!
Ah... the memories of the Tekkit (space) teaser page.

Are we error?Or are we dancer?
 

Even if I were to do that, I'd have to download a drawing tablet too, and I don't have near enough data left to do that after I finished downloading my car.

Yeah, looking around, I think I'll wait at least two months or so. I was going to get some... unorthodox... hardware in the near-ish future, I really need to make sure it works with 10.
Also, this is fun. You should install this on people's computers. They will love you.
EDIT: So, my old core2duo laptop is sitting around unloved and unused. Would anyone care for a KJ Terraria server?
EDIT AGAIN: So apparently my new laptop's GPU, being one of the Quadro models, is amusingly good at overclocking. (For a laptop, at least). Bumped the core clock from 810mhz to 1055, (and by extension, the shader clock from 1620 to 2110) with no real increase in heat output from stock, (It stays at around 70 C under load). The (un-overclocked) cpu is still hotter than it, hitting 75-ish C at some points. The only reason I haven't already pushed it higher is that MSI afterburner won't let me.
I'm probably not going to use it very much, if ever, but it's still fun to know that it works. 

I'm good at video editing

My first tutorial


 

Alright, that's probably enough wood jokes. Anyways,
(Non-wooden) logs in spoiler below, although some of them seem a bit... irrational.

Alright, that's probably enough wood jokes. Anyways,
(Non-wooden) logs in spoiler below, although some of them seem a bit... irrational.

So I've been working on this retro custom modpack, but I've been getting all of these bizarre crash errors.
Logs in spoiler:

​these jokes starting to degrade like a step function, because they are no longer continuous 

Those logs are strange - illogical even. It's out of my power to fix that over the Internet. I'd try to help you out with the problem in person, but the logistics would be too hard.

I see the problem.
The logs say it's all dead. Try updating the mods to live ones.

So I've been working on this retro custom modpack, but I've been getting all of these bizarre crash errors.
Logs in spoiler:

As far as debugging goes, when you try to open it, does it break easily? Can you see any signs of... tunneling? And when you knock on it, would you say it makes a "whoomp" or a "thud"?

So I've been working on this retro custom modpack, but I've been getting all of these bizarre crash errors.
Logs in spoiler:

I'm with planet on this. Wooden it be better to get the whole view instead of these chopped off sections?

Not sure how to fix the others, but I suggest drying out your computer to fix the first one. We'll at least be able to see more of the log

Those logs seem to be truncated - they don't show the root cause of the problem.
