Lorne has the misfortune of being an idiot by circumstance: my experience with windows 10 so far
-
@kt_ Most of those complaints are the same complaints when using Linux distro after selecting UK English instead of bullshit English (US English, where I have to spell everything wrong at work because the our admin is an idiot).
-
There is an app called 3D Builder that comes with Windows. I don't want it, so I tell it to uninstall.
When I right click an image in Windows Explorer, there is a context menu option to "3D Print with 3D Builder".
Click it and the app opens in half a second.

@marczellm It is like Microsoft has lost its mind again.

So?
And no. No Linux update has ever uninstalled hyper-v or killed disk I/O in Windows. A guy had to finally settle for moving to a new machine, so he could get some work done.

@kt_ The point being is that it happens if you aren't using the "enterprise edition".

If you mean Hyper-V getting uninstalled, bullshit, we all have the same Windows editions.
If you mean disk I/O, bullshit, we all have the same Windows editions.
If you mean you're trolling, bullshit, you're getting there but you still could do better. However, you're 100x better than god shitperor, so there's that.
-
@kt_ I ain't trolling. I honestly don't know.
Everything works fine for me ...
Unless you have enterprise edition for Win10 you don't get to decide when it updates. It is wank.
I use my macbook pro for dev and my pc for games etc now for this very reason.
-
It's like MS has been learning from Apple in some respects, that they know best, 'uninstallable' (for some definition of uninstallable) apps etc.

I get it. I know some people didn't get hurt by this update, I didn't, for one. But a lot of people did, and also now I can't control when this motherfucker's gonna restart (outside "work hours" after installing updates. Those fuckers know best.)
Also: after anniversary update, when windows restarts to install updates, it doesn't suspend running VMs, it forces them to shutdown. It didn't used to. It used to work well, it used to suspend VMs and then wake them up after the reboot. Now just all of my work gets lost.
GOOD product!

Apple doesn't force you to restart and they don't uninstall core apps when doing forced updates.
-
@bb36e I also think Metro/Modern and the Store are other examples of MS trying to be Apple, except missing the point and only trying to copy the result, not the logic or the journey of how Apple got there in the first place.
-
@kt_ It is obvious my uses aren't the same as yours. Everything like that I stick up on the cloud or my centos machine that is a VM / docker host.
-
@kt_ hence "in some respects".
As for update nagging, my iPad has been nagging me to update to iOS 10, even to the point of showing me the enter-password screen and saying 'you can put in your password now to authorise us doing the upgrade sometime between 00:00 and 05:00 or you can press the remind-me-later button in the very corner of the screen'.
So Apple is learning from MS and MS from Apple. The next decade should be 'interesting'.
-
@Arantor It is a good update. IPhone user here.

@lucas1 Did you regret losing the MLP porn stickers?

@Arantor I didn't have any, so no.
But my hard core big black cock reaming a white guys ass hole I did miss. thankfully tumblr has plenty of wanking material.
Oh you were joking ... fuck me ;-)

@Arantor not really.

You know what isn't in the list? OneDrive.

Some facts since I last used my computer (~10pm) and now (~12:53am... 3 hours later)
- I did not receive a notification about a pending reboot
- I did not get a chance to schedule a reboot
- 3:30am did not occur
- Windows 10 rebooted
Every single time I think "huh maybe this shitpile of an OS isn't so bad", it goes out of it's way to prove that yes-- yes it is.

That's Ok, I just had my main security camera VM (Windows 7 Ultimate for raisins) spontaneously combust because it wasn't able to access the network.

Install anything that comes up when you search "free game download"

I wonder whether you can still set the policy to never auto-reboot while there's a user logged in. I had that setup before the AU and that seemed to work. However the AU wiped it. Of course it fucking did…
-
@dkf I don't mind it rebooting when I'm not using it. (I'm always logged in, I just lock my screen.) Really, any time my screen is locked it's free to reboot. As long as it's back up by the time I sit down, I'm good. Most of my programs will restore fine anyway.

Some programs like that sort of thing more than others. However, an SSD is a real plus. ;)
-
@dkf My biggest regret in life right now is buying one more laptop without an SSD. I told myself, next time, when I'm not in a hurry, I'll splurge. I should have treated it like a must-have.
-
@Yamikuronue SSDs are totally worth it. It was also really worth it when I put one in for an OS disk in my home desktop.

what model laptop? you can probably upgrade it yourself to a SSD for fairly cheap. (Like under 200$ if you don't need an utterly massive drive)

Or, an even cheaper option if your laptop has an optical drive you can live without: the smallest SSD you can get away with for your system drive (I'm quite fine with dual-booting from a 128GB SSD at home, work computer may need more though) and one of those 2.5'' drive caddies that replace your optical drive ;)

honestly 128 for a single OS with a data drive's still more than sufficient. i'm still rocking an OCZ 128GB drive from 5 years ago in my gaming beast and it's holding up just fine thanks to having my steam library on a spinner
yeah, if there's a replaceable drive caddy that's an option.
the laptop might also have an unpopulated msata or m.2 slot that could be populated with a SSD and then windows installed to that, turning the existing spinner into a data drive. that's a bit more complicated, but totes doable if the laptop has support for it.

Now we play "Chrome fuckup" or "Windows 10 fuckup". Ties will be broken by that ynotboth girl.
I load a page in Chrome 53.0.2785.143 m (64-bit).
I hover over a hyperlink (fake edit OR even activate a menu item).
The titlebar gains an extra pixel of height, pushing the whole browser window around.
The place where the window touches the taskbar also gains an extra pixel high black line.
So every time I pass over a hyperlink, the whole window shakes a bit.
Fuck Chrome. Fuck Windows 10.

@kt_
No idea why it changed that on you, but it should be a configurable behavior within the settings of each Hyper-V VM to change it back to "on host shutdown: sleep running VM", FWIW

Who would have thought you'd be running version 53 of something. Will there be a big celebration next month for version 100?
In other news, Windows 10 broke my desktop computer so now I'm using my 6 year old laptop until i stop being lazy and build a new PC.

53? That's so 5 minutes ago.
No, seriously, I was running 53 5 minutes and and now I'm on 54 because I went and checked what version I was running.

This is where Mozilla has missed a great opportunity. They should call their next release 77, then everyone will start using Firefox again because it's obviously a lot newer and better.
