I think it’s hilariously naïve. The comments will be scraped anyway, and there’s nothing you can do about it

Win11 was forcibly installed on my coworker’s computers. This happened more than once. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1607264/why-is-my-windows-10-pro-system-automatically-forc
What if you needed to use a VPN between May 1 and May 14? https://www.pcworld.com/article/2320535/microsofts-newest-windows-update-breaks-vpns-and-theres-no-fix.html
I guess I hallucinated my computer restarting by itself on multiple occasions due to Microsoft updates, even after I disabled the services, before I nuked every sign of it from the registry and the reboots suddenly stopped. Crazy. https://superuser.com/questions/1277757/windows-updates-forcibly-rebooting-my-pc-at-night
Copilot appeared with regular updates on my sister’s computer, unprompted. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/why-is-it-that-you-install-software-i-never-asked/a4fce101-b9e8-4d10-9c15-1f8350004e09
There were easy to find examples of everything that I said, some of them happened to myself, my family, or my coworkers. If you’re going to be blatantly wrong and easily disproved then maybe you shouldn’t go on after all.
Eeyup, same exact situation here. I leave my work computer overnight reencoding video pretty frequently, and would lose so much productivity due to restarts I didn’t ask for.
To run as System and prevent permission issues from wagging its finger at you and saying “nuh uh”. Yes obviously you can open Services the normal way if it wasn’t windows update BS
Download and install sysinternals suite: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite
then run:
psexec -i -s services.msc
and disable Windows Update, Update Orchestrator, and WaaSmedic if it’s there.
Alternatively, do the same psexec but regedit instead of services, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services, find those same services I listed above, change the Start value to 4 to disable. I went to the next step and neutered all the registry entries for each of those services to make sure they stayed dead.
What do you have against windows updates?
Forced windows 11 upgrades, breaking VPNs, breaking recovery partitions, intentionally targeting and breaking the win10 start menu for win11, installing unwanted software, enabling ads, adding additional telemetry, adding half baked AI nonsense that nobody asked for, restarting without a prompt and losing progress or canceling a running program… Should I keep going?
I guess I’m rare in that I like working in an office. My house is for relaxing and enjoying my time, so the few times I did WFH I really just want to curl up on the couch instead of work.
One of the main things I kinda ran into recently, credit unions are set up for private accounts and don’t do business accounts very well. I bought a car recently and the business owner was telling me that it was a hurdle to deal with large amounts of money on a regular basis with his credit union, and he didn’t have issues with his conventional bank in that regard. I don’t know the specifics unfortunately but it does make sense.
Whenever I injure myself enough to bleed I get a metallic taste, kinda like the iron in blood I guess. I could see how someone else might get a more salt water seafood taste if this happened to them
Yeah, your average passenger vehicle won’t have them. Trailers and heavy duty trucks use them though. I only know about it through YouTube
There’s a nut that you tighten that changes how tight the bearing is being squeezed. You adjust it so that the bearing turns but doesn’t have any play
No, but having a blindfold on doesn’t suddenly make it okay to punch someone
Yeah you don’t get it and never will, that’s a shame
It’s still pretty light if we’re considering the array of skin tones that are throughout humanity. If you weren’t Finnish, but instead African or Indian or South American for example, maybe you wouldn’t feel that yellow was representative of you and your people. Saying yellow is fine for everyone because you feel it’s fine isn’t taking into account the other billions of opinions in the world.
Maybe you’d feel differently if your country wasn’t 90+% homogeneous with a light skin tone
That’s not at all what they said

I like to use folders in my app drawer to organize them, maybe it’s something you can try? I run an old version of Nova before they got bought out
I think this is a sign that you might have too many apps
This won’t be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.
Still kinda rude IMO
Depending on the situation could also be rude.
Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.
How about just “Sorry, I don’t feel like talking right now.” except you say that every time like a broken record. They’ll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.
