  • And build up like that is why you should limit artificial insecticides like that around your house as well. That build up happens to each animal up the food chain. Bug gets 1 insecticide, but the lizard eats a bunch of bugs. Lizard now has 100 insecticides, and gets eaten by a snake. Snake eats a dozen lizards, now we’re at 1200 insecticide. Owl eats a dozen snakes, 24000 insecticide in the owl.

    Obviously this is simplified, but it gets the point across.















  • Microsoft releases their patches on the same day every month. They do this specifically for planning that sort of thing. Including giving you options in the settings to pause updates for up to 5 weeks.

    And that doesn’t even get into the business-oriented options available through things like WSU to give more granular and customized update options for businesses.

    If you’re doing something that will take that long… Why aren’t you using the solutions available? Is it because you never bothered to look? You just wanted to complain instead? Because that’s what it looks like when there’s a literal setting dropdown, that’s not hidden at all, that would avoid your example entirely.



  • Windows only does that if you ignore the update prompts multiple times, which means for multiple days since the default delay behavior is to ask a day later. It’s literally in the settings, including options to have it install updates outside suer-set active hours.

    But don’t let that get in the way of the realization that most people just ignore shit until the last second and then blame everything but themselves for it when they run out of options. And that the Internet jumps onto bandwagons faster than the speed of light just to feel like they’re included in something.
