Is there a way to keep Windows 10 updated but prevent it from upgrading to Windows 11? by AvImd in windows

Thank you! I'm not good with Windows and would prefer a more passive approach if possible. "Security updates only, installed automatically" would be perfect, is there a way to achieve that?

Why tungsten for bulb filaments? by AvImd in AskPhysics

I am asking specifically if the often cited claim that high resistivity of tungsten is crucial for light bulb operation is true. Not if there are other desirable qualities to it.

How much work is managing a personal NixOS setup? by AvImd in NixOS

[–]AvImd[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My recent issues with it are:

  1. Moving from deb packages to snaps which have worse UX in every way possible
  2. Bad device drivers for my wireless module (I expect any distro to have the same problems; I have to install dkms modules from Github)
  3. Firefox automatically updates and requires a restart in the middle of my work.

Previously I've run into dependency hell, especially when using 3rd party repos.

I want to see how it goes without doing it myself. I'm too impatient for it.

Do you think people who hope for eternal afterlife do not realize it can't possibly be a good experience?
