Doesn't Microsoft use a thousand different domains, most of which look sketchy? What if you receive an email from [email protected]? Could you immediately tell that it is not legitimate compared to, e.g. [email protected]?

I did not know about PublishTrimmed and will try it out. Thank you.

I think a standalone "Hello World", built with .NET Core, is around 60-70 MB large on both Linux and Windows. The startup times are alright - slower on Windows than on Linux in my experience because of the file system performance.

Signal-Desktop works even when your phone is turned off.

I was planning on looking into how to best document it the next time it happens, and whom exactly to report it to (i.e. the national or European data protection authority). Not sure if there is anything else I could do.

I did the same thing, and yet every couple of years some of those deleted items reappear on the news feed of my second account that I only use to double-check my privacy settings.

It's an European account and I'm wondering if only marking the content as deleted, instead of actually deleting it, violates the GDPR.

It's more of a notification than a question dialogue. It tells you that Windows 10 is a "recommended update" now (instead of optional which it was before). That means no matter how you close the window, now you'll get the update unless you actively disable it in time.

How many of the hundreds of millions of people using Windows computers are affected like this that don't have someone tech-savy to ask for help? There's no possible way Microsoft didn't think of this scenario, which can only mean that they simply do not care.

Thanks for the warning. I'm not sure if they're being sleazy or just unthoughtful and incompetent. I already lost an afternoon with family, which I don't get to see that often, because I was forced to fix things that went wrong on their devices after the unexpected update. I had told them to "Just click the red x for now,if a message about Windows 10 pops up".
