… why exactly are you leaving unsaved work open on your PC and expecting it to be there the next day? And it seems it’s intentional? Think of all the things that could lose the work apart from an update. A power outage, a brownout, a failed PC component; memory corruption, and more.
It’s was just notes, not work work (that’s all in the cloud). And yes,I expect things to be there the next day, it’s been decades since I was working on a 2x86 with a bad hard drive that froze ar random intervals, so I had to save every few seconds. I do save even my random notes now, just in case, but if they get closes I will probably forget about them because the whole point is to have them on screen as reminders.
It’s weird how being forced to restart your computer by the OS is obviously a new feature yet people defend it so religiously.
I don’t understand why people care so much? It’s like people that don’t want to keep their PCs running always feel better about themselves for using their PC the way the OS forces them to?
I miss the days of if you don’t have something nice to say just stfu. Now, it’s if you don’t say anything to put them down, how will you feel better about yourself?
Eh… This was more of a comment on “why aren’t you saving your work” which has been a push point since the dawn of computers.
That said, forced updates and restarts aren’t a bad thing. They should be defended to an extent. You don’t remember the days of virtually every consumer PC being months behind on security updates? Viruses running rampant?
The feature can be bypassed by the users who actually care. Yes, with “a lot of” work to intentionally prevent non-power users from just flipping the bit and going back to a world of un-updated boxes of vulnerability.
Idk, I think it’s worse and I care very little about the people you’re describing. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to turn off the ability for Microsoft to turn off your computer whenever they like.
I never had an issue leaving my PC running or in sleep mode for weeks - I used to pause a game, put it in sleep and then resume it on wake, no problem. Now it’s basically impossible to control when it turns off. That said, I’ll admit I recently realized I actually had enterprise windows instead of pro so maybe that was why I was never able to get it working despite hours of trying.
Does iOS force updates? How do they do it? Surely the average Mac user understands less about updates and whatnot. I mean, if they had ever (obviously they never will) just let people install iOS on their own hardware I’d have left Windows a very long time ago. I plan on moving to Linux one day though I’ve realized that’s going to be a monumental task on its own.
I’ve got my own issues and all but windows absolutely infuriates me nowadays. I wish nothing but the worst for it. I kind of want them to do what reddit did and force me to leave
