In my first job i misunderstood a stationary order form and ordered a whole pallet of Tipp-Ex (correction fluid) instead of just one bottle..................... BIG MISTAKE!
I would tell you a joke about UDP, but you might not get it.
I guess we are lucky here in Britain. Many shops sell just the juice in a liquid container, like a bottle. This allows them to juice the fruit at a remote location, like Kenya.
I guess it's a throwback left over from 16th to 19th century that we still employ foreign people to prepair foods of our desire. At least now they get to own a small proportion of the land used to grow said food.

Gosh I was drinking heavily in those days - I couldn't even type without spewing tags
I had to rebuild a windows XP machine for support of a legacy product.
Since it is a new install I thought I should put on some free anti-virus and had a quick look at Avira and Avast:
Loading up Avira website in IE 11 presents this little infographic:
Avira - equally as poor detection as the other free competition
I guess there is some script nonsense issue, but why have script for something that could just be a static graphic?
@Lorne-Kates said in Lorne has the misfortune of being an idiot by circumstance: my experience with windows 10 so far:
- Turn off Cortana
- Disable all location tracking
- Disable anything that might send information to Bing
- Porn mode on
.............So progress news.
TIL I relearned why we don't be casual about these things.
It turns out I was wrong to turn my back on years of experience by saying "pfft we can re-factor and keep the code functioning the same. Stuff the design documents i've got this covered."

What is a 100K string? A string that a developer charged 100K USD to write?
hahaha, this topic (of discussion) reminded me of the rise and fall of the golden age:

We should all co-develop some new forum software. It could have a feature with "mandatory search before starting new thread", Infinitely long pages and mods to shut down threads that are not on topic.
Suggest a quick search on the forum before starting a new thread, otherwise we will be repeating ourselves every year instead of creating new content:

But it still needs a reboot? what's the difference?
On reboot you don't start at "Windows is installing updates (30%)"?
For the seasonal Windows 10 updates (and most Insider updates) it's not as bad as it used to be as it does a lot more before rebooting, but they haven't eliminated the delay completely.
It happens while I am asleep on windows home, as I set active hours from 8:00 to 23:00, so it could take 10mins or 2 hours, I don't really care.

@ben_lubar Meanwhile, Linux Mint can update Adobe Flash just fine without needing a reboot. Maybe Windows tied flash technology tightly into the OS like it likes to do with web tech?
Also, Windows has a dumb thing where it's not able to update executables that are running, so you can't ever install an update pre-reboot.
Chromebooks do an interesting thing where every update installs an alternate copy of the OS so that the changes required to reboot are just a single bit saying "use the other copy of the OS".
But it still needs a reboot? what's the difference?

"Fixing a problem should never involve the command line"
@Atazhaia
So the developers of the tool, made a tool that embarks on a process that takes a lot of processing time, and ties up the CPU for a long time, without thinking "na man, this isn't like we can stop and save data like other software. We treat this like a 3D printer where if things fail, the operator will have to find out after hours and hours and have to restart the whole thing".
