This is evidently fixed, but GTA Online was unplayable for almost the entirety of yesterday, except in the morning.

Yet another reason to hate Windows 10. As if I needed another...

I am forced to use 10 at work, and it fucking hinders me greatly. I hate it. I use three monitors, including the one on the laptop itself. 10 never remembers window locations on lock and unlock. Actually, it's odd because rarely it does remember just fine, but 95% of the time, it forgets.

Windows Explorer often fucks up and forgets about alt+tab, so I have to restart Explorer, which of course closes any folder windows I had open.

I have my taskbar on all three screens set up to auto-hide, and it's two notches tall. Every time I come back from the lock screen, I have to do a workaround to get the auxiliary taskbars to auto-hide. They forget that they're supposed to do this, and stay on screen until I right click the clock and enable and then disable search/Cortana (it will say search instead of Cortana if you entirely disable Cortana as I have done), and then it will go back to auto-hiding again. It also often forgets to be two ticks tall. And not uncommonly, one or more of the taskbars will be basically blank until I do this as well.

There are others in the list, but these are the main annoyances I have to deal with constantly. I lock my PC every time I leave my desk, and most of these crop up when returning from a lock screen. Rearranging all my windows on my screens and fixing the fucking auto hide alone waste a lot of my time that would be better spent working rather than hindered by my shitty OS. Windows 7 for eternity for me until Linux starts not sucking for gaming.

How often do you restart that box (i don't mean shutting it down and turning it back on, because that does not do the same thing since the advent of Windows 8)

Good, fuck Google.

When there's something wrong in your neighborhood, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA CALL!? Have some fucking respect.

Not going to call anyone. I'm going to grab my gun and shoot the fucker because even if the cops show up in 5 minutes which is very fast and optimistic, it may very well be too late. I'll call them to come pick up the body.

Even cops will tell you that relying entirely on them for protection is stupid.

Certainly not the police with their >30 minute response time. I will, however, certainly use my pistol to defend myself, my family, my neighbors, or the property of anyone thereof. Afterwards, I'll call 911, report the incident and then calmly wait to process through the aftermath.

As NKD said, even the police will tell you not to rely upon them for protection. They are not a protective entity, they are an enforcement entity. Those are two vastly different things.

Now, I know you have your ass hairs are in a bunch so I am probably but just pissing against the wind with this response. My attitude of never trusting the cops comes not from "brainwashing" but from the advice of members of my family who are or were police themselves. Further, respect is earned. So if you want to fawn over and kowtow to people that haven't earned respect, that's your personal choice. I think it shows a rather unfortunate lack of self-respect but that's on the person making the choice.

They stop hacking and cheating yet? Would like to get back in if they have.

No, and they never will stop it. The online multiplayer is P2P and they will always be fighting a losing battle on this front. Hackers are much less malacious now though, with the most common one I see lately being bundles of $50,000 dropping for everyone on a server every 1/2 second. Prolly not a good idea to stockpile too much illicit cash though. Spend it quick in case r* wipes your money.

EDIT: just to clarify, this isnt as threatening as it sounds. R* only does that for people who heavily abuse the system and spawn in money.
