I have a stunning little ultrabook at home. It cost me £1200 only 2 years ago. I accepted the free upgrade to windows 10 when I was sent it back in January.
Laptop is now fucked!
It won't even boot properly anymore. The boot sequence takes at least 15 minutes (it was about 30 seconds beforehand) and it constantly crashes. I think I'm going to resort to a factory reset back to windows 8.

Do it. Windows 10 is absolute shite. The missus had the same issue with her laptop. Tried everything but the only fix that worked was getting shot of Windows 10 and reverting to 8. You'd be better off with 8 or 7 or even XP!!

Also, is "Ultrabook" the name of that young Norwegian boy you keep in the basement? The one Gus was on about?

I have heard numerous stories of windows10 causing huge problems for laptops and the like...and loss of data/en-crypted work files etc - A friend who is a very gifted writer & poet - up-dated to the (free) Windows10 not realising the changes would be so dramatic and lost the final draft she of something she had just completed- so had to go back to her last back-up and piece it all together again...months and months of work - she is looking into suing Microcunts - But they would laugh her out of court.
I have used this guys free anti-virus stuff before...He does it free and it CAN be trusted....He has designed a small download that STOPS Windows 7 or 8.1 from downloading the (hidden) automatic download/installation programmes Microcunts have imposed on everyone....
Since I downloaded it I have had no problems - Before that for the past 2 weeks I have had to shut my PC off in emergency mode to stop the Windows 10 from downloading itself onto my PC.. I also use a Mac and so tend to go with that for now - But I keep checking my PC.
I will assume you do not understand what is happening with Windows10 - It is being 'downloaded' onto peoples systems without their say so, as almost happened with myself. It is being 'hidden' in the regular Windows 7 and 8.1 updates.
I was on my PC suddenly a message came- up on screen saying Shutting Down, of course I thought it was a virus or something being dealt with by my security system, but then another message followed saying configuring & installing Windows 10....so I immediately unplugged... and (lucky for me also having an Apple MAC looked for help and so was able to find something to stop it happening, so re-booted my PC in Safe Mode - No doubt Microcunts will find another way to achieve what they want.
It is also rumoured that the new Windows10 will allow Microsoft to 'manipulate' the details of any individuals info/data - All part of the ongoing general dispute & argument over Google and the CIA - Just another step towards the Big Brother total control over everything with access to all the info on our machines.
What the average peep doesn't realise is that the life of the individual is gradually being directed and corralled to where, how & what the multi-nationals want them for further easier manipulation...but hey all just hear say.

You should know better than me mate. It was you that kept going back down there for a "chat" with him. Of course nothing happened, or so you said, but the spunk trail from his arse that Gus complained about told me otherwise.
British legislation that allows a mother to keep hold of child benefit despite earning over the threshold of being entitled to it. Then allowing her to use that benefit to screw over the father for maintenance who earns less, even though there is a shared residence order in place. In other words the father pays to be a babysitter for his children and the mother is backed up by legislation to do this to him.
Then people wonder why blokes fuck off, lose contact with their kids, as jail time awaits them if they don't pay up.
My job. A thankless payroll apprenticeship. I have mentioned on the RIP thread (P100-101) how much I dread my job.
I have three months left on my contract and have let it slip to my boss this afternoon that I'd probably crack up if I stayed there.
Stupid thing to do perhaps, but it's the truth. I have a phobia of the telephones and the department is taking on too much work. There's only a few of us dealing with about four thousand employees. It's unsustainable. My colleagues are all struggling too.
I also have an exam re-sit tomorrow which I've barely had time to prepare for. No fucking interest in the subject whatsoever, except pride and doing it for my dearly departed mother.
I feel oddly detached from it all, despite destroying my chances of staying there. I also don't rate my chances of finding another job. I am not a people person, so I am screwed.
If I never see another phone again it'd be too soon. Typically there are no internal vacancies that aren't based in an office.
If there's no work lined up for August, I'm planning to find some strong rope. Fuck this.
