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?
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.
I don’t follow any sort of news for this reason. No tech news, no car news, no nation news. Show me only cat pictures and stuff people with their hands, thank you very much.
“The term “Web3” was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms.”
That tells me everything that I need to know.
Does anyone know the last version that didn’t do this?
Edit: trying messages.android_20240123_01_RC04, we’ll see if it works
Edit 2: for posterity, no that version also bugs you to update. The search continues.
Understood, it was a semantics issue.
I’ve finally gotten out of hitting single digits every month, and it’s nice to finally not have to micromanage the order my bills are paid to not overdraft
Do you mean “and” instead of “or”?
If you have money but no gas, just buy gas. If you don’t have money but have gas, then you’re just the average American.
I personally like Thunder. Jerboa felt too limited for me.
I use RadarNow! for my radar, it’s old school but so am I. Doesn’t show chance of rain but that’s a quick Google away anyway
Yeah, the same way a radio tuned to a station could be static until you plug in an antenna.
You could also get hums and interference from other sufficiently strong EMF sources, like how AM radios can pick up the sound of transmission lines
I’ve seen a website process literally over a thousand third-party cookies before, so maybe this one also just has that many to churn through

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

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.
