@irene on company controlled pc in a domain? Still does not fixthe dual head stuff and losing the session :)
-
@irene Right but it's more than "WINSHIT SUCCKKSKKSK!!!1!!!!1!!!" like we usually get.
-
@darthkebab you literally just said that you get to use a non Windows machine what the fuck lol
-
@Stuxnet im on notice period. Still in the old company working on a windows machine
-
@irene You're not wrong, but sadly we're not going to go from "total head up their ass" fanboying to being logical about it.
-
@irene there's no sense in escalating. When the company orders new laptops with hdds because it's cheaper, still uses 5 year old dying dinosaurs, hires mostly cheap foreigners and follows many many more management antipatterns this is the wrong company to work for. So I'm leaving.
-
@HughRant maybe. Having used windows for the majority of dev tasks still does not make me a windows expert.
-
@darthkebab Does it not make sense to learn your greatest tool?
-
@Stuxnet I expect a hammer working out of the box and not breaking after a forced OTA update which I have to disable or restrict, for which I should use the group policy editor and hope that the next update does not override my GP settings.
If I want an unstable system, I'll take a rolling release Linux distro and upgrade all packages at once without checking. -
@darthkebab You still had to learn how to use a hammer before being able to use it properly.
-
@irene sounds good. I'd try that on my private machine.
Apparently, our domain does not have this settings set. And the windows laptop I have to setup with our stuff for a customer, too... -
@irene that's it: daily updates. I did the mistake of not updating daily once. Fortunately only kernel updates require a reboot.
-
@irene nice. I've got a broken package once. And did not bother checking the to-be-updated packages. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what it was, it was years ago.
-
@irene I don't have to switch the update channel, I just use WSUSOffline to update. Doesn't download the big, reinstall-in-place updates, just all the others.
-
@darthkebab that's your idiocy, on that part. I've learned from Fedora 28 that even Linux distros suffer the "updates break shit" and "everything's broken OOB please god help" issues sometimes. I also learned from F28 that if a Linux package breaks and can't auto-update, just compile from source. The pain of that is often less than the pain of fixing the updater ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
@irene No, it downloads all the CABs and whatever that one update file format is, then generates an ISO/folder with them and an installer EXE. Supports multi-system generation and system detection (so you can have one ISO for 7 and 10, for example).
We use it in the shop to quickly roll out updates to customers, even when the Windows Update service is trashed or disabled by malware. -
I hate windows.
I hate windows update.
I hate windows update rebooting my PC and not reopen everything from last session.
I hate windows update trying to install updates while running from battery in power save mode.
I hate windows not being able to figure out where to put windows on dual head setup.
I hate developing in windows environment.
Man I'm glad that I use windows at home only for gaming.
Man I'm glad that I can choose a non-windows PC on my new workplace.
