"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)
The new update was candy crush! You uninstalled it before, but we think you were mistaken.
We saw you uninstalled candy crush. We fixed that for you.
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
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
sounds about right
There was actually a pretty big security problem in libwebp recently that likely led to some updates. Trust me, you'd want that patched.
Holy hell, that one's a punch in the gut. Google, as usual, fumbling around.
"performance and stability improvements" 🙄
Ah yes, the usual "we won't tell you".
Every Windows update is well documented and easily found online.
It's actually pretty important security stuff.
Wanna see what happens when security updates get neglected? Look no further than what happened to apple devices with the Pegasus virus.
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.
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.
You forgot that they installed the Linux preacher assholeware in secret.
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
Pegasus is a Spyware used by governments to spy on "criminals" phones.
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.
When I had a surface, windows hello and my pen would just stop working if an update was pending. Windows is always fun in this regard.
It just reinstalled Edge, put a shortcut for it on your desktop and start menu, made it your default browser and migrated all your cookies and login info to Edge (for ad and tracking purposes) before uninstalling said browsers.
No big deal, bro
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.
New telemetry and advertising pop-ups.
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
More like "what broke?"
Can I interest you in Linux?
big Sept 26 Windows 11 update, does not have Taskbar never compress option. So sad, the only thing I want is still missing.
In completely puzzled, why would they not have that feature? Also why is everything centered in the middle of the task bar now by default? Microsoft sure makes weird UI decisions.
Apple
Just to make it different enough to make consumers think that they're getting some big new OS. See the right click menu changes for another example.
The only reason I click on "what's new" is to get rid of the notification. There are exactly two programs where I care and I appreciate all the other programs shutting up.
Linux: "Yes"
Linux: its gone now
"Grub cannot find MBR of Microsoft Windows" -meh, don't care.
Do a diff, find all the one days!
Cool, then you can do what every linux user is doing, reinstall it!
sigh
