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?
I guess I’m rare in that I like working in an office. My house is for relaxing and enjoying my time, so the few times I did WFH I really just want to curl up on the couch instead of work.
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.
Sounds like my ex heyoo
No, but having a blindfold on doesn’t suddenly make it okay to punch someone
Yeah you don’t get it and never will, that’s a shame
It’s still pretty light if we’re considering the array of skin tones that are throughout humanity. If you weren’t Finnish, but instead African or Indian or South American for example, maybe you wouldn’t feel that yellow was representative of you and your people. Saying yellow is fine for everyone because you feel it’s fine isn’t taking into account the other billions of opinions in the world.
Maybe you’d feel differently if your country wasn’t 90+% homogeneous with a light skin tone
Similarly, there’s no muscle car or hot hatch, just 🏎️🚗
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.
I got double-carded at concerts until I grew facial hair. I wasn’t even 21 yet so idk what their deal was. Anyway, try to grow a beard and mustache, that helped me
Plate tectonics. That’s what’s going on. It’s been going on for billions of years, and will continue until the sun swallows the planet.
Similarly, I was reading about a music artist and it said on their bio that nobody knows who they are or their real name… They have concerts and make millions from sales, surely someone somewhere has to put their name down to send money to them?
Before you tell me about crypto, that’s not how the real world works
“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.

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
Copilot appeared with regular updates on my sister’s computer, unprompted. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/why-is-it-that-you-install-software-i-never-asked/a4fce101-b9e8-4d10-9c15-1f8350004e09
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.
