That's how they all started out. No worries though: they'll be upgraded to recommmended when you're not looking!

Ironically, they are pushing that 'upgrade' so insistently to improve overall security - but what they achieve instead is us switching off automatic updates

Thank you!
I like the notes on these updates...
"Install this update to resolve issues in Windows."
and
"Updated capabilities to upgrade Windows 8.1 and Windows 7"
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

It should, of course, be: Quote: "Updated capabilities to upgrade Windows 8.1 and downgrade Windows 7"
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

That was my initial stance on it: I 'upgraded' (or so I thought) my Win 8 Ultrabook because I hated Win 8, and I stuck with Win 7 on my other machines because they worked just fine, and - unlike W10 - I have full driver support and full control.
I've changed my opinion though: While Win 8 was annoying more often than not, at least it worked - in a way - most of the time. W 10 had more issues over the past 3 months than I had with Win 8 over the course of 20 months! Therefore, I now consider W10 a downgrade even to Win 8! The only improvement Win 10 has over Win 8 is the removal of the 'Charms' bar.  Good riddance!

is it too much to have even the correct information provided on the description field?

Then nobody would install it

WSUS -> decline -> carry on with my life, never seeing those updates on any of my machines.
It's at times like these I remind myself that the overhead of having my own update server is worth it.

Hello all,
In my in-laws they have two PS4 consoles.
My brother in-law (the youngest one) has asked me how to open ports in the router to get a better playing experience...
I've never got a console so I don't know how it works, I guess you should be able to select the ports to be used in each console and game, then redirect the traffic to the right console depending on the ports, but I've seen in the Internet (see[^]) that this can't be done...
Anyone with the same configuration has got it to work? and in case it works... how should be done?
Thank you in advance!

Define "better" - is something not working at all?

If you're playing online players are usually connected directly to each other as well as the game server, if two players can't connect (because a connection can't be made through the NAT) then the either their traffic will all go through the game server (increasing lag) or one of the players won't be allowed to join the game.
To help get past the array of routers that may be between the console and the internet you can direct the traffic on specific ports to the console, so a P2P connection can be made.

DMZ?
Or is there actually anything of value on a PS4?
|
|
|
|
|
but... can both consoles be on DMZ?
I've read about one in DMZ, the other one under port redirection (which doesn't sounds good to me) and also that I should go the uPNP way activating it in both the consoles and router...
|
|
|
|
|
Right...I forgot we were talking about two consoles within the same LAN.
Short answer: I'm afraid I don't know.
|
|
|
|
|
Yep...
I'll investigate a little bit further, but it looks like the router is used to receive TV casting from the ISP (something like Netflix) and therefore the router can't be accessed directly and it must be accessed via a remote web interface... Plus there are several TV's, computers and consoles plugged into the same network...
It will be fun to investigate, probably I'll won't touch a single thing, but at least it will be interesting.

Studying has never been this much fun 
What would be even MORE fun is if I actually still had any of those games (well, I got HOMM3 from GOG, but I must study)
