Why Windows 10 is the most secure Windows ever

Three years after its debut, Windows 10 is poised to overtake Windows 7 as the most popular version of the Windows operating system.

  • Say to Siri: Cellular data.

Siri then opens the cellular data settings where you can turn off cellular data.

As was the case before, anyone can do this. It doesn’t have to be the person who “trained” Siri.
