This shit is so widespread that it makes me automatically respect any dev [team] that puts a "no, and don't ask me again" button.
Your computer will be restarted. Do not attempt to resist.
And this is something I particularly hate when MS tries to push some new UI change that nobody asked for. Outlook and Teams new UI for example:
MS: do you want the new UI?
Me: No
MS: I'll just add a new App with the same name to increase the chances of you accidentally opening the new UI. By the way, I'll make it difficult for you to switch back to the old UI.
And that's how I end up with 2 Outlook and 2 Teams.
On the positive side, that's just the work laptop because all my personal devices run on Arch.
You just had to say it, huh?
Should be part of the Arch Wiki 🤣
Do you have any advice on running arch as main system? Wanted to try it cus of newer packages, but I really don't want to upkeep it a lot. Is it easier nowadays?
I use Ansible. Just have to be careful with the playbooks, so you won't end up with a bricked system.
I run the playbooks once a week from one of the systems and takes care of them. In my case quite a number of them are always online (raspberry pi), so that's convenient.
That has worked pretty well.
Just use fedora if you don’t have a very specific arch need
I'm sorry, I don't know anything about fedora. Does it have up-to-date packages like arch? I also have an Nvidia card, does fedora have proprietary drivers available?
Yup, and they're very easy to setup
It's pretty stable too
If your Nvidia drivers do break, just uninstal and reinstall them (reinstalling isn't enough, you have to uninstall and install them again)
Sounds great, I'll give fedora a try. Thanks for info!
if you game a lot, you can also take a look into nobara, which comes with a lot of gaming stuff out of the box, like nvidia drivers, steam, discord and so on. it's based on fedora, the differences in operating it are minimal :-)
I don't game much right now, but thanks for the info! I'll keep that in mind
I've been running Fedora since Fedora Core 1 was released.
Would you like to upload a copy of all your photos to us NOW?
Microsoft has always mostly worked. They’re working overtime to get rid of the mostly.
So it will always work?
Mostly will be replaced with never.
No means no, I say opening powershell
Microsoft employee: do you want to give me a raise?
Yes
Remind me later
maybe later
It's the same way with phones. I was late for work once because my phone decided to update in the middle of the night and turn off my alarms
Try setting your alarm for the hour that’s skipped during the spring time change and see if Google thinks that was alarm was important to you or just shouldn’t exist.
Well, what do you expect to happen if you set an alarm in an hour that doesn’t exist? I mean, the UI shouldn’t allow that, but if you know about that time switch and proceed to set the alarm then anyway, that’s on you.
If an alarm is set for a time doesn’t exist, I expect a big warning on the Lock Screen that there’s a problem so I can fix it. Or set the alarm off early assuming that it’s better to be early than late for whatever it was.
Both are better than silent failure.
Elderly relative needed to take a pill 4x daily, including in the middle of the night. Every day. It was a repeating alarm set for 2:30.
We slept through it and they missed the pill. Not ideal.
Who really wants to wake up at 2am though
There is a hidden option - linux
There is no Microsoft fans.
Whichever product is liked by the public, Microsoft abandons it.
Lol, like politicians.
Or does and has an army of lawyers that find the loopholes
Maybe this is a contributing factor to why soo many young people have trouble with the idea of consent. They grew up with crap like this constantly ignoring thier right to say no.
