This is CRIME.
Windows 10 is a burglar. No matter how hard you try to lock out its smash-and-grab, Microsoft Malware will smash in and take everything. I keep turning off the intruders, and they keep coming back. I shut off Update entirely, and Microsoft Malware spent most of today running an Update ANYWAY.
This is burglary. This is breaking and entering. Windows 10 is like Goldilocks the Crackhead. She smashes through your door, moves in a dozen crackhead buddies, turns on the heater and airconditioning full blast, turns on all the appliances, brings in her 12-foot plasma TV and her meth-cooking apparatus and her pot grow lights and plugs them in. The crack buddies start dealing and knifing and shooting, and YOU CAN'T DO A FUCKING THING ABOUT IT. You just pay and pay and pay and pay for having a computer that you can't use.
This is CRIME.
This is also an aspect of dystopia that Orwell and Huxley and Bradbury and even Percy failed to foresee. Modern people are willing to PAY DEARLY for the privilege of being totally surveilled and brain-damaged and robbed and killed. Losing your mind and will and property is COOOOOOOL if it's done with the Correct Brand Name. Old tyrants from Lincoln to Wilson to Stalin to Mao to Amin must be groaning in rueful disgust. "Damn! If only I had thought of this trick before that Jobs dude did! I could have run my torture factory at a MASSIVE PROFIT, and wouldn't even need the secret police to bring in the heretics. They're waiting in line to get tortured now!"
