"We increase the disk/ram consumption, reinstalled edge for you (you can't scape) and added a few ads somewhere. Have fun!"
Linux updates: here's the whole new desktop, GUI, appstore, start menu analog, and you can now summon a demon to do your bidding (no gui yet, you have to use the terminal until next update)
you can now summon a ~~demon~~ daemon to do your bidding
But only if you fork it twice
1 small security fix and 10 more spying software
Only 10? They're being gentle this time.
What major feature is bring removed next update?
They lubed us up first.
and a partridge in a pear tree
The new update was candy crush! You uninstalled it before, but we think you were mistaken.
More surveillance and telemetry 😊
It just wanted to try to trick you into making edge your default browser and setting up a Microsoft account again
Right click the update icon, select whatever option takesyou to the settings screen, on the right-hand side you'll find a link for changes in each update. It's not transparent, but it is available.
It's also to a large degree security updates which are important as hell.
Just look at apple to see what happens when security updates get neglected. Newest apple phone actually had a security exploit that allowed people to upload viruses to your device without you ever having to interact with the virus.
Pegasus was the name of the virus
pegasus didn't use just one exploit , it's a huge collection of zero-days
The only thing that I can tell happens every update is that I have to tell my start bar, yet again, to show all program icons instead of hiding them. Individually. Oh, and Skype occasionally decides it's important at startup again.
Almost forgot! My computer also randomly forgets how to sleep until updated.
Shit, I thought I was the only one whose computer has forgotten how to sleep. I ended up reinstalling the whole thing to get it to sleep. I don't have the mental capacity to troubleshoot my computer to find the root issue after dealing with dumbass clients and my toddler.
New telemetry and advertising pop-ups.
There was actually a pretty big security problem in libwebp recently that likely led to some updates. Trust me, you'd want that patched.
The update isn't important. Being under the Totally Trustworthy™ umbrella of Microsoft is what's important. You don't need to see behind the curtain.
Honestly, that what businesses want because it checks off a box in their cyber insurance application. They don't care as long as their ass is covered.
More like "what broke?"
Windows: Runs update 20+ minutes on shutdown and 20+ minutes on next startup, requiring multiple reboots: nothing has changed.
Linux: Runs update for 5-10 minutes when you want it to update, changes basically the whole OS and adds a metric shit-ton of features and doesn't even care if you reboot or not.
Longest update for me was ~5 minutes in W10, mostly new definitions for the Defender and security patches. You can consult the property of the updates in the M$ page and also undo the last update, if you want. Memes of Windows are nice, but this one was valid 15 years ago, back then it was true that you could die in an update, but not now.
Idk, it still takes Windows 10 much longer than I'd expect on my system. I wish it only took 5 minutes
On powerful PC's, yeah, my home PC is a rather powerful one and it would take me around a couple minutes to update.
However, I remember two years ago having to use Windows 10 on a school PC (which was a crappy thinkpad) and it took around 1.5 hours to update after I did the mistake of arriving too early and deciding to update the laptop as "might as well, got nothing better to do", then not being able to do anything for 1 hour.
Though admittedly, the laptop wasn't updated for a while (guessing around half a year?) so it probably was catching up to updates.
Can I forward our users to you when they want to work and need to wait 30-40 minutes before the stupid Windows update has completed?
My home PC updates like that, but our work PCs take forever, and Windows pushes an update almost every week. It can actually take over an hour to apply an update at times.
I don't think anyone says it breaks things -- it's just glacially slow with no meaningful change. Sometimes, it changes for the worse, like the time I had to delete an unwanted desktop shortcut to Edge on every PC.
You forgot that they installed the Linux preacher assholeware in secret.
You can read the patch notes if you want to see what's in the update just like linux.
Patch notes: Bug fixes and stability improvements
Patch size: 17.3 GB
big Sept 26 Windows 11 update, does not have Taskbar never compress option. So sad, the only thing I want is still missing.
Cool, then you can do what every linux user is doing, reinstall it!
Do a diff, find all the one days!
