Can Windows Update write to the registry? If so, and you have automatic updates turned on, that should read "the notifications will be gone until Microsoft decides they should come back".
Do you have any proof for this "Microsoft decides they should come back" actually happens? Because I've had the keys set up in my development VMs (which I update regularly) ever since I learnt of them, and I never saw the GWX icon in any of them (and I've got clients that use medical software which works on 7 and 8.1, but not 10, which have applied these keys, and similarly didn't have the GWX icon pop up).
Remember that these keys are documented by Microsoft, unlike the other methods, which to me look some people just looked at what's happening in the system, then trying to block that from happening without consulting any documentation (which admittedly is how much of Windows development is apparently done, at least if you look at all the workarounds that have to be in Windows to keep old software working).
As I pointed out above, getting rid of Windows 10 upgrade notifications requires setting two registry keys that have been documented by Microsoft since last year. No need to install any utility - just set two registry keys, and the notifications will be gone after reboot.
...is nowhere near as hard as most people seem to make it. If you're in corporate environment, use WSUS, or if that isn't available, Group Policy. If you aren't, set the following two Registry keys to 1 (DWORD):
These have been documented since before Win10 was released, and they work fine (I use them in my development VMs, which for obvious reasons must not be upgraded). If you trust me, you can simply import this .reg file, and it'll disable the nags for you.
I've been getting hostname mismatch warning for edge.quantserv.com on every page for the last few days on Techdirt (seems to have an akamai certificate).
So the contract is enforceable because the link is coloured differently. How can they be sure that it was coloured differently on user's computer - after all, I browse 75% of my time with a custom stylesheet enabled on Opera, which replaces all website colours with colours I find easier on my eyes (yes, I'm composing this message with my stylesheet enabled, too).
Converting a lossy (mp3/m4a) format to lossless is like converting a JPEG to PNG. You gain nothing, only the file becomes 10 times larger (and when you convert that to lossy again, you lose quality).
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by ender.
Didn't somebody dump BKK's database in the aftermath?
Re:
It's not a single model - the whole 900 series is WiFi connected, and from looking at the app, so is 890.
Isn't GhostScript actually AGPL, and not just GPL?
As Hector Martin said: "Non US encryption is theoretical." Meanwhile, AES and SHA-3 were designed by Belgians. CIA: pants on fire.

Regarding portable standing desks, have you looked at Switch Stance?

Turning off Windows 10 updates...

The original link definitely worked for me, and I could submit the survey...
Which platforms does this spyware run on? And what happens if you buy a smartphone that can't run this (they're rare, but they exist)?
