Not to be that guy but…

Before Windows 10 monthly patches were not cumulative. So, there were times when you would reinstall your OS and have to install hundreds of patches. It was a huge nightmare especially when some patches were dependent on others. For example, if you missed a servicing stack update, you would not get security patches. To help with this M$ would release “service packs” ever few years. These were a cumulative bundle of the security and stability patches, and sometime would have new features. For example, PowerShell was originally shipped as part of service packs. But basically they were a way to save you a few hours when doing reinstall.

I think saw one of the keywords was dumbass. And another looked for you calling it a piece of shit

My wife says so she can find them in her purse. I put a quick release on her actual keys for this exact situation. I can unhook all of her junk and just have her keys.

I guarantee the routers your ISP wants you to rent from them will have that waiver.

You willing to take on Microsoft lawyers to find out?

I kept mine active but haven’t used it since Musk took over. I just changed my name and bio to my Mastodon account so people could find me. I used it for work and had a lot of people find my content through it, so I didn’t want to just kill it. I also didn’t want someone claiming my username because I use the same one on pretty much all of my work socials. It got to the point last week that I’d rather not be associated with the site, even if people know it’s just to point you to my Mastodon. Hitting that delete button felt good, but I wish I had done it back in 2022.

I really thought UMPCs would have taken off

Or just bottom out really hard like I did to my Dodge Shadow in high school.

Per the Microsoft KB for it, this only happens if Windows updates are installed before a user logs in for the first time. So basically re-images and especially VDI environments are at risk of this happening.

They do still have John Savill and Mark Russinovich but they are both focused on Azure. They really need someone like them on the Windows side.

I wouldn’t put it past these lawmakers to be investors in VPN companies, so they can make money off of these laws.

Seems like they were always behind on things like that. I had a friend that would come over to my house to update his TiVo because I still had a landline and it required a dial-up connection. This was in 2005, well after the decline of dial-up.

Some Christians believe the return of the Jewish people to their land is viewed by some as a sign of the end times, leading to the second coming of Jesus. And yes they want the rapture to happen. There is speculation that is why they so strongly want to defend anything Israel does.

Lindsay Ellis just did a great video on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwpanShgOp4

Reminds me of a guy I knew who kept getting letters for a $10 parking fine he got while at university. He waited until they spent more in postage than the fine before paying it.
