  1. Update: They changed it. The opt-out period is now 90 days and the arbitration clause now only applies to users within the US. https://blog.discordapp.com/terms-of-service-feedback-and-changes-c58a530c7693
  2. The person whose comments were deleted also made this thread outlining all the info regarding the CEO's past: https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/9peikv/in_light_of_the_tos_update_regarding_class_action/
  3. So. Turns out Discord's CEO apparently has a shady past in which he sold his previous social platform to a Japanese company without any notice to users. The company then harvested all the data and shut down the platform.

  4. https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/9p5uyp/latest_tos_update_revokes_your_right_to_sue/ The top stickied comment to that thread is a staff reply, if you want to check that out. The gist of it is that it'll apparently protect them against frivolous lawsuits that law firms get rich off of. I had my worries about Discord and was reminded of what Stallman says about discord here https://stallman.org/discord.html. One of the pages he also links to there speaks about the possibility of discord selling their data in the future, even though they claim not to at the moment. Perhaps behind the scenes they're preparing to protect themselves for something like this down the road. One thing to note is that new accounts can opt-out 30 days after creation. Hopefully they'll add a notice about this in the account creation process in the future, or even better a yes/no dialog to make it easier.

The company then harvested all the data and shut down the platform, but not before being hit with a class action lawsuit.

  5. Thanks for the recommendation. Using DiskMax didn't fix it. I also have all the 8.1 updates installed. I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 431. I can't perform a hard reset at the bios screen as 1. it passes by in like half a second and 2. it's a laptop and doesn't have a reset button and holding the power button takes ~5 seconds to turn the device off, by which time the BSOD has already occurred. My current working guess is that since I'm upgrading while keeping the apps and files, there's a driver carried over that isn't compatible with windows 10. Unfortunately, as the BSOD doesn't provide a dump file, there's no way to tell which one.
  6. I have a Windows 8.1 x64 laptop that I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 10. After the first restart, I get a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT blue screen with no additional info and then a full rollback. After logging in a window shows up with the following text: Things I've tried so far: - Running memtest (no problems detected) and the BSOD never happens at other times. - Running with one stick of RAM. - Updating BIOS. - Updating SSD firmware. - Updating device drivers. - Uninstalling AV. - Making sure the installer downloads all the updates first before running. - Googled these error codes and read just about everything. But I'm still getting the BSOD every time and can't find any info on what's causing it. Any ideas?
