Just restarted my laptop with an 'ooh, some updates pending' option. And what do I find under 'Services' on the restart? A new 'AppReadiness' exe, as well as updated ME tabs. Killed that fucker straight off and now going to go laser-blast any new traces of ME.

I got given my laptop which gets frequent Microsoft updates - wish I knew how to stop them. I've been told they are harmless but doubt they are for my benefit. Wish I wasn't technologically impaired :(
I don't know about harmless. Even if you use scripts to disable all the baked in spyware, with every update Micro$oft re-enables them and you have to go through the scripts again. It's very tedious, and highly suspicious.
Certainly they aren't planting meltdown/spectre (nuclear grade viruses) type stuff in there, but at this point I have no faith or trust in Micro$oft.
Me neither. Can't wait to see Gates go down.
