    So, wait, Mocrosoft is finally giving us a way to fully-disable automatic Windows Updates?

      It looks like they break Microsoft’s update mechanism somehow, and Microsoft won’t work around it. If it’s because they’d have to make special cases just for one app I get it, but it doesn’t seem like that’s what’s happening.

          Microsoft’s update mechanism is just fucking awful trash, they should replace it with downloading an archive and unpacking it.

          They seem to think they are very smart with all those binary deltas, but it appears to be so complex that nobody inside that company understands it fully, and that’s for more than 10 years.

          Apparently people responsible for creating it still work there in important places, can’t find another explanation.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just keep using Windows 10 forever, and get security updates for free?

      For reference: Debian 6 which was the current release of Debian at the time Windows 10 was released hasn’t received official security patches 2016, CentOS 6.6 stopped receiving them 2022. Mac OS X Yosemite latest update was released 2017…

        Yeah and? Debian is free, you can just upgrade to the newer version without paying a thing.

    This stops Windows 11 from blocking the installation and lets you get the app back onto your PC. We’re not sure if Microsoft has fixed this trick, but it’s worth a shot if you want to keep using your favorite apps.

    That’s mildly distopian.

    This prevents your car from shutting itself off when trying visit certain areas on the map. We’re not sure if car manufacturers have fixed this trick, but it’s worth a shot if you want to keep going to your favorite places.

    And only a little tiny bit adversarial.

      This is what ive been saying about windows vs Linux for years.

      Linux isnt necessarily easy, but its collaborative and everybody’s on the same side.

      Windows is PvP, and now I’m seeing fucking Hangul characters in chat, and I’m afraid. I don’t even use it anymore.

            Lol. :)

            My wife is Korean and I noped out of playing StarCraft when I visited her family. I also worked with a “minor-league” StarCraft player (played on Euro servers with a team) and a regular Korean guy, and it was always close when we’d do lan games at work afterhours (us normies would die off early and watch as those two duked it out).

            So yeah, I get it. Koreans are hardcore…
