fuckers got me with an update a week ago when i passed out watching animu, woke up and turned off puter.
woke up the next morning to a bricked os (win11)
jeets obviously didnt debug their garbage code so my sys32 got sodomized.
just a media box, but still, had transferred a bunch of anime over from my other drives and now i have to do it again.

I signed up for the Win10 extended updates. Originally it was only a one year extension of support, but the other day I got an email informing me the support window has been extended to October 2027 :marseycheers:

is linux still that difficult to deal with these days?
i knew it wasnt very accomodating for win based programs and peripherals, but i figured it would be fairly solid for just running a net machine.

@koropokkur @Hoss It will convince you that sticking with shitty windows is not that bad of an experience.
That scenario is quite frequent, sadly.

aye.
win 11 is pulling the same bullshit quirks that they had on vista.
so sick of microsoft making shit os that come on every fucking puter as standard.
honestly, this shit ever happens again, im installing linux on the media box. got an old win 7 machine im gonna install it on to test it out.

no just have a win7 machine that i have no intention of ever using so its a good candidate for a linux install to see if i like it.

@Hoss @koropokkur I worked as microsoft tech support
First line of support is jeets and others who literally have no tech education or experience whatsoever and just copy paste shit from copilot until you get bored and solve the issue yourself
Second line of support is the same kind of people but have been doing it for years and learned a couple things by accident even though they dont really understand beyond the surface level.
Third line of support is people that know stuff and have a tech background but they are mediocre and most importantly they are lazy and will make excuses to not help you and blame the issue on third parties or on you.
Forth line of support is actual experts but they are only available to the biggest clients that bring millions in revenue.

"Support" as in security updates. I don't think anybody under the age of 60 actually calls the Microsoft customer support line.

At least we're not in the timeline where Oracle invented the world's most popular PC operating system instead. Imagine what that'd be like.
