WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else

It appears the picture is of a rock band.
...
Nope, I don't get the joke at all. Sorry.

The joke is the band's drummer, like Discourse, can't preserve line breaks when quoting.

/me nods head sagely as if in understanding.

Nope, I don't get the joke at all. Sorry.I really think I'm being trolled here, but what the hell...
The band is Spinal Tap, which is an entirely fictional band featured in the mockumentary "This is... Spinal Tap". If you watch the film, you'll understand why a picture of the band (and particularly that picture) was posted as a follow-up to the confusion about single and double quotes meaning feet and inches. (hint: the model Stonehenge-segment in the middle of the picture was supposed to be eighteen feet tall)

Ah. That earns Pennies now!---
Filed under: I hate pop culture references...IKR? Sometimes I hate being "that guy" that ruins the joke because it has to be explained to them but, today (erm, yesterday) it was unavoidable.....

I've you've never seen This Is Spinal Tap, you owe it to yourself to do so.
Here's the other Spinal Tap reference you're almost certain to encounter in the wild:

It's been two months today since the official Windows 10 release, and my laptop (from 2011) still hasn't passed their "validation".
-
It's an AT&T laptop.

No, see, it's actually intuitive if you squint and borrow Jeff's brain cell.
- If there are new posts since you entered, that number is listed in a blue bubble.
- If there are unread posts from the previous times you've entered, that number is listed in a gray bubble.
- If there are no new or unread posts, the total number of replies is listed in no bubble.
- And if the thread has never been entered, "new" is listed in a blue bubble. Even though blue bubbles normally replace no bubbles, and normally have numbers.
See? Intuitive!
-
You know what is not intuitive? I deleted that post because I realized I just got caught out by bikeshedding. But, it didn't delete.

I'm sure that even if the "post withdrawn by author" edit didn't successfully make it, the post will still be gone in 23 hours.
Edit: It made it. It just didn't rebake. For some reason.
THANKS DISCOURSE!

We would file a bug...but @pjh got us all banned from circlejerk.echochamber.d.

Yeah...I told it to rebuild html (because the raw definitely shows it) and now it's "right."
-
Wot? You didn't hack it to force the install?
Plenty of posts full of pigeons about how to do that....
-
You don't have to "hack" it, you can just run the freely available installer to upgrade at any moment.
I just want to see how long it takes for the "normal" way to go through.
-
how long it takes
Probably ever. My bet is an unexpected race condition occurred and the tool got confused.
Likely that the download completed, but failed to register as such, and when the download is resumed, it's already done, but since it's already done it doesn't mark it completed.On a side note: Are your Windows Defender Definitions updated?

Hmm...my daughter has my old laptop, which has Kubuntu and GRUB installed. She upgraded to 10 and the GRUB menu still comes up. I have hope, but then...it's not a UEFI boot, so maybe my experience will be different.
-
Are your Windows Defender Definitions updated?
Always. Sometimes I even update them 4 or 5 times in a row just to be sure.

Oh, no, sorry. I wasn't clear. My daughter's computer isn't UEFI. Mine is.

You have my condolences.

Post can't be empty. Edits inside quote blocks don't discocount.

But discocheating is trivial.

I'm just over helping discodevs hide discowarts.

Although, Spinal Tap actually performed live several times. So, they weren't entirely fictional.

Nothing. WTF is happening with Windows U?
I hear it will be released with a touchscreen/tablet controller, and no Mario games on launch.

Fair enough, since the Playstation didn't launch with a-- umm-- didn't launch with-- hmm...
who the fuck is Sony's flagship franchise character anyways?
-
Seriously?
Sackboy.
I think...? At least that's about the best they have.
And people thought Master Chief was a lame console mascot.

Meanwhile, here in the real world, Apple required an Apple ID to log into to their OS (by default) long before Windows 8 was even on the planning board. But obviously Microsoft is worse. Because... reasons.
Because you can still use the Apple Store, or anything requiring an Apple ID, without logging into the actual OS using an Apple ID. The apps support Apple ID fine without logging into the OS using it.

Honestly? Probably Cloud.

Maybe... Everyone?!

I guess Sly Fox might be a contender, I think he's PS-only. Most of the characters in that tiny tiny image are cross-platform, though.
Or the fake Indiana Jones dude from Uncharted, but he's an even worse mascot than Master Chief. Ugh. What a douche.
-
initiating whine Sorrry, it's hard to find things that don't officially exist!
We'll say this is the mascot then. Totally unambiguous:

So their mascot is the tooltip for the World's Worst Quick Time Event.

tooltip
Maybe? Does it spin?

So Sony's mascot is that broken-looking icon I ignore so I can get at the games and video server?
Fake edit: Fuck, I JUST now noticed that shit-chunk of an icon is the four buttons on the PS controller-- and I've had a PS3 since 2008 (sorry, I mean More Than 1 year ago). Got, what a stupid, ugly design.

Does Kratos even have a game on the PS4?

Kratos will play wherever the fuck he wants.
