Welcome to Help Desk Geek- a blog full of help desk tips for IT Professionals and geeks. Windows 10 IS REALLY GARBAGE!!!!! It, as an entity, fancies itself to be the ruler of the people, an emerging totalitarian government that still proclaims with its mouth to be a nation “of the people, by the people, and for the people”, while belying those words and betraying the people by its actions, overt and covert.Between the corporations and the spy network within the U.S. government, our human and Constitutional rights are being taken from us with seemingly innocuous explanations as to why it is important to YOUR happiness to give up your rights and turn them over to the corporations and government entities.Benjamin Franklin wrote, “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”To expand on that principle, I contend that anyone who would trade his or her freedom and God given rights in exchange for a happier shopping or Internet experience is a complete fool who does not deserve the freedom that he or she has so foolishly squandered.Do not allow the government or any corporation hell-bent on exploiting you get the upper hand.
