This isn't fair.

There's a bug in one of the most recent security updates on windows, something to do with the size of the recovery partition, so at the moment plenty of windows users aren't updating or failing to update, and it's not as if windows has fixed it yet either so most users are stuck waiting on it.

In other words: sometimes far too many updates, sometimes not enough (timely) updates, often broken updates.

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

I have a laptop that's suffered from that for a while now, so it's not just one update but a trend. Tried a number of things from clearing space to even a manual download on a USB to force it. It always reverts back to churning away trying to complete the update, restarting, and then reversing it. The irony is the laptop works fine until it comes time for it to check again, then repeat ad nauseam.

There's an easy fix for that

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

Yes. Throw out all electronic devices and go live as a shepherd.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Or just use GNU/Linux

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

I tried that, but it's just way too much effort to get Internet Explorer running on Wine.

You monster.

Didn't hear it it - and seldomly booting my windows...

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
