@zeik: Keep in mind that they're a company in Poland, a very white and conservative country in general, you're not gonna get radical changes based on american social-politics.
And who knows, maybe they'll make another trailer with a completely different character down the line if their character creator is open enough. I don't think it would be entirely out of setting to have someone be able to change their look completely.
You can solve most of these computer problems by not using proprietary junkware like windows for important things in the first place (i.e. not games.. and even then, run the crapware in a VM or separate machine so its not spying on you if you can)
The superficial convenience of proprietary software isn't worth it when you can't ever rely on them for anything, like this windows file share business, when just an hour of reading will supply you with the knowledge and ability to set up a comparable solution you can actually rely on, and is fundamentally, not superficially, more straightforward. Why waste your money to deal with that substandard bs?
The issue isn't with "junkware" as you call it, the issue is that most clients are still using SMB1 despite Microsoft already being two versions ahead with SMB3. SMB1 was deprecated like any open source software might, and nobody updated, so when Microsoft finally had a good reason to disable it outright (serious security issues) they decided to just disable it instead of supporting an old obsolete software which should no longer be used anymore.
Your argument about proprietary software is bunk as if both the client and server are properly maintained then pretty much any system will be foolproof regardless of whether it's open or closed source, the advantage of SMB is that it's built into windows itself and does not require any configuration on the user side. Not everybody wants to spend the time to install some flavor or distro of Linux on their computer, regardless of how easy it is.
If you're writing that from the standpoint of a Mac user and not unix/Linux then I'll just laugh while riding into the sunset at the irony.
Thank god they started talking about The Windows Network File Shares issue. I've been trying to fix it for months and couldn't figure it out. The last thing I thought Microsoft would have done is disable necessary services by default and disable the Somba Server feature in Windows 10. After reverting these changes, it works perfectly now.
Samba =/= SMB Samba is basically the unix/linux/osx implementation of SMB.
Also be very careful about turning on SMB1 as they disabled it specifically due to it having some very serious security issues with malware. SMB2 and SMB3 are enabled by default so you should really switch to using those instead of re-enabling a huge security risk.
