    Nah. Fuck forced updates. Only time I’m forced to use windows is for work.

    I have to play the “low battery” game when it starts notifying me during work. Unplugging and repowering the laptop right below 10% so it won’t restart and disconnect my VM and SSH sessions I’m using for work.

    I don’t care what anyone says. Updates that can’t have a forever “give me 1 more hour” indefinitely are just going to destroy work.

    Suddenly restarting in the middle of someone working is just awful design. I don’t care how many “warnings” there are.

    I’m connected to a remote session and doing work. If you restart my computer I could lose my work. The OS is not some self contained thing you can always save the state in.

      For SSH, assuming that the remote system is Linux, run tmux on the remote system and do your work in that. If your SSH connection gets killed off, you just ssh back in and tmux attach to your old tmux session.
