Well that's just it "Modded" peripherals. I read about it and some say it's about modding xboxes and chips, but others say it goes too far beyond that..

"And if you make your own USB devices or use periphials not certified by Microsoft it renders them useless and reposts on it as well."
If that's the case half of the Chinese knockoffs are about to become kaput.
I can certainly see a report being generated and possibly passed along to the proper authority regrading pirated software and movies but i don't see them rendering third-party peripherals ineffective other than modded Microsoft products, just yet anyway.
Ok here's the thing, I use a "free open source" app called Jdownloader. I have heard a few times windows 10 renders this app useless even though it it not pirated or illegal to use. It just has the stigma of being used to DL pirated stuff even though it's just a download manger. So basically MS is censoring apps at their own discretion.

Thanks for taking the time to view the video. I had no idea about the pirated software or the USB devices. Who needs the police these days when you have snoops on the other end of our computers recording everything and reporting us. It's my understanding that the government wants to install this technology in our TV's, washer, dryers, microwaves, toasters, refrigerators and soon in our cars.
What is it going to take for Americans to say no to these devices.
I agree with you to a point, until casual users cannot get rid of the windows 10 white flag in their taskbar and capitulate and then download it.

The overwhelming addiction of the next gen tech is what our downfall is. We are allowing our own subjugation. We are a society that trades our privacy for new "Stuff". Iphone anyone?
Here's some free advice just like WIN 10 is free:
Don't use it.
Peace

I am thinking of going towards apple next, I have not heard any complaints yet, however I have not researched it either. What do you think?
I never owns a apple, wouldn't know where to start. But I have been considering Linux OS. But yet again I hear half the apps I like are not usable with a Linux or even a Apple system for the matter?

Folks, if you value your privacy and you have Windows 10 you should remove it as soon as possible.
When you agree to windows TC, you are agreeing for them to turn on your microphone.
It does? Of course you can show us all exactly where it states that? Exactly what section that is in? Unless......
