Respect your customere, M.S.

Of my friends (many of which I give free I.T. support), the vast majority "upgraded" to window 10 unaware that they were doing so or what was going on. My upgrade was by choice. On my two systems, I waited for the last day of Sept. 2016 to "upgrade" after cloning my boot drives to have backups of my Win 7 installs. One computer had no issues, another did but things got better as the computer was restarted and updated over several weeks.

Same thing with the anniversary update. I waited for several months to install this. One computer had no issues, the other did. Creating an additional account on that computer and over a few restarts, things worked themselves out.

Now, if M.S. just had a real quality control department and let the user really control things on their own computers.

As far as updates go, I disable the Windows Update Service and only enable it when I choose to do updates.

TWO crimes

Someone sent a phishing e-mail to Seagate asking for ...

The first crime.

Someone at Seagate, grossly incompetent, neglectful, or whatever you want to label it, did not perform due diligence and gave the phishers what they asked for.

The second crime.

It took BOTH crimes to get to where these Seagate employees are now.

Seagate would be well advised to settle out of court. They do not need to further advertise how incompetent they are in the area of personal employee information. Nor do they need to further demonstrate how little respect they have for their employees.

I've worked at places where there have been security intrusions. The employers have always been pro-active and have, at least, paid for security monitoring for everyone that was potentially affected.

What have you done, Seagate, for your employees?

WTF

No reception ... I must be holding it wrong.
