0 for 2 and getting personal, proof you have nothing and are trolling.

If you spoke like a fanboy, I could accept that -- tastes differ, and all that, and everyone strongly defends things that they like -- but you don't talk like a fanboy.
You talk like a wumao.
If it waddles like a duck, and it quacks like a duck...

If you allow automatic updates, you've given permission. If you don't want updates, turn them off.

Huh?
Clicking the X in a control toolbox is not "allowing automatic updates", and being stuck with an operating system that is forced on you doesn't constitute "permission to do whatever the Hell you want with my property".
I had to take quite extensive steps to disable automatic updates on my winio tablet, and just as extensive steps on all my other machines to keep winio at bay.
Having to defend my property from attacks by foreign corporations is not how I like to spend my day.

Huh?
Disabling automatic updates is easy as hell.

On weven, maybe, but the tools you can pick up on the Interwebs for disabling winio's auto-updates don't work nearly well enough (e.g. ms managed to get an unwanted "upgrade" of onedrive past them, on my winio machine), so you've got to get your hands dirty.

I've done the Windows 10 update and I don't recall it saying "Downloading updates for Windows 10".
Frankly, I find Windows 10 better than 7 anyway. There are a few PCs which are genuinely incompatible, but even then you can update to 10, get a license, rollback and then fix the compatibility issues.

Except you clearly did give them permission by enabling automatic updates.

A very good reason for making regular system backups 😉

Fireworks Set Off in Phoenix Walmart, Some Mistake It for Gunfire - ABC News[^]
WHY DID THOSE IDIOTS DO THAT?!?
I hope they are found and put away for a LONG time!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Do you mean the people who think it's ok to put fireworks on the shelf in a supermarket? Rather than locked away in a fireproof storage area.
(As well as the idiots who lit them).

Yes
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Once upon a time - when we were mostly normal, if a car was crashed into a coffee shop, the customers would run and see how they can help the driver, who probably lost consciousness... As today, the customers still run, but the beat the driver to death, as a terrorist...Brave new world?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Or leave them alone so they won't get Sued for trying to help.

Nothing new about that. Read up on the Bystander Effect.

Combine that with some (but not all!) municipalities having 'Good Samaritan' laws, and you end up encouraging people to just leave when something like this happens, rather than stick around in case the police need a statement...
Nothing like a society actively encouraging people to be irresponsible...

Or pick up their smarta$$phones and start sharing vidz of people dying.

So, periodically I see posters reply as "Leslie", or "A Leslie", &etc.
Does it not occur to these posters that their post, too, is defacto "A Leslie"?*
* And if this post has been previously posted, can it, in fact, be Leslied?

I would love to see people stop responding that way.
