Since I haven't seen Windows 10 increase internet traffic measurably, if at all, I'd look more closely at a) your child's surfing behavior, b) whether s/he has malware installed and c) whether s/he is running a torrent, even if inadvertently.

I fixed it - Windows 10 was replaced with Linux. Kids nowadays don't really care what OS it is - they do everything in the browser anyways.
Regarding traffic - it's the "little things" that windows 10 does crawling home networks etc.
Have no use for that security risk in my home.

|

Except I don't believe that since I would have seen it.
As for security risk, if you think you're safe with Linux, you're delusional.
(And my kids very much care what the OS is--not Mac and not Linux.)

Quite a few people I know (and some of us have been doing dev low level in windows since 3.1) are openly stating that windows 8.x / 7 is their last OS from MS.
I don't need a machine that hits over 60 IPs just sitting there without even having a browser running.
It's pretty bad when you block a certain IP that Windows Explorer uses causes you not to even be able to get on the net if that IP is blocked. Phk dat.

What a load of nonsense and proof of nothing. Windows 10 is a great OS and your accusations are baseless. You really, really need to see what your kids are doing. I strongly suspect a bit torrent.
|
|
|
|
|
First of all - there were no bit torrents running or anything like it.
Second of all - I am referring to Windows OS traffic.
Seriously, Microsoft has lost sight of the fact that our computers are our computers, and not Microsofts'. If I want to go back to the mainframe mentality - I'll go back to pdp11s.

What do you do if you get busted for pirating a terrible Adam Sandler movie? Deny it. That seems to be the lesson of a recently dismissed federal case, which raises the burden of proof that copyright owner must meet in order to hold you accountable for infringement. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it

I deny that I have denied anything.

OpenJDK is a fully open-source implementation of the Java SE specification. It is comparable in performance to Oracle and IBM JDKs. All the Java you desire, with 100% less Oracle
|

It is still better not to use any Java related code - Oracle likes the court...

According to an analysis of the data in Dice’s latest Tech Hiring Survey, some 51 percent of managers and recruiters said that software developers represented their top hiring priority in 2016. "You never get free - everybody wants you"

It's why I'll never retire.

If so, perhaps those managers and recruiters could actual post their jobs. (Since January, I've seen a huge drop in software developer job postings [and in recruiter cold calls].)

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella today shared his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence. Since there is a lot of talk about whether A.I. is a good thing or a bad thing these days, he wrote that that we should build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences. Clippy shot first
