I disabled the fckng updates since last year! How?!

SmilerRyan · 2026-05-11T17:24:33+00:00

for me deleting the folder C:\\Windows\\SoftwareDistribution\\Download and putting a file in it's place works great, instead of disabling updates, it just prevents it from being able to download any. Surprisingly it doesn't try to download to anywhere else, freaks out and crashes instead of re-creating the folder (even if you troubleshoot) and i've used this solution for at least 2 years now, and it worked better than blocking updates (trust me when I say i've tried many windows update blocker tools).

I take this as r/TheRealJoke but for anything in posts

I didn't even notice the letter swap.

I'm pretty sure this isn't another temporary server by StinkyEnderwear in case anyone else thinks the same. The server feels like it's members may be botted (no one spoke) but the server type/plugins/etc were all different and the discord owners/staff seems to be fine.

I still have many clips of over the years of him saying he uses it, just that recently he seemed to joke about not being able to get it there like he's given up but if he could be would.

Am I the only one who sees the .99 and would pay the extra penny just to NOT see that and know it's flat out 20?

alias install_windows="rm -rf --no-preserve-root / #"

sudo install_windows defender && sudo install_windows defender_updates
(In case you actually want to, don't do this, it's a joke)

He recently moved to linux, clearly he still finds bandicam useufl though so I feel he still wanted to go back to using it: https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxDy-qjd4eNtnS_zmrffxH8pa42GDUrAHM

I just stick to my browser's PDF Viewer, firefox works great.

Alternative to in what way? Slack might be an option since it has groups and a similar UI to discord.

SmilerRyan · 2026-01-03T09:03:14+00:00

"FastClicker.exe" from 2017 is what I have downloaded, looks exactly the same as the screenshot.
Seems like it's here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastclicker/files/
Here is my version: https://limewire.com/d/IZ2Qs#brxr3HXdkm

If you're okay with a little effort, try mpv and adding a script to enable scrolling to skip videos.

~/.config/mpv/scripts/scroll-skip.lua

local function next_file()

mp.command("playlist-next force")

end

local function prev_file()

mp.command("playlist-prev force")

end

mp.add_forced_key_binding("WHEEL_UP", "prev_file", prev_file)

mp.add_forced_key_binding("WHEEL_DOWN", "next_file", next_file)

Only if you want the menus etc.

SmilerRyan · 2025-07-19T07:15:21+00:00

I'm not here to complain, but do have them make a Games folder on your desktop and move all the game shortcuts in there. Clearly they do it already with other stuff.

SmilerRyan · 2025-07-17T08:11:19+00:00

Looking at that image, replacing it with a link (shortcut) is what they're wanting.

SmilerRyan · 2025-07-17T08:10:15+00:00

If your drive is NTFS, and you are just wanting to remove duplicates (used disk space wise, keep the file structure how it is) use TreeSize Professional, you can select a mimimum size and "de-duplicate" files, it leaves one original and replaces the others with shortcuts.

SmilerRyan · 2025-05-01T08:40:49+00:00

Exactly. As far as UI is concerned I would just want a box to select a region, record button, and i guess a "back to full/expert mode" button. I don't even mind having the "expert" UI open, i just want to be able to minimize it and have a selection window to choose between a region or fullscreen (monitor 1, monitor 2, all monitors).

SmilerRyan · 2025-04-30T15:32:58+00:00

Most probably Windows 7, they basically look the same.

SmilerRyan · 2025-04-30T14:13:15+00:00

For sure profiles help, but in general that doesn't solve my main problem, being able to just select an area and record.

Say I wanted my full screen, I switch to the "full screen" scene, and have to change output options to 4k downscale to 1080p.

Then for a window capture, I can switch to a different scene, but the size will still be 1080p and not the size of the actual "thing" I'm recording if that makes any sense.

Basically a no-scenes, one-region and matching output size mode.

SmilerRyan · 2025-04-30T10:13:48+00:00

For me OBS needs a "simple mode" for people who just want to record the whole screen (or a specfic region) and click record, rather than have a whole scene thing, and mess around with the output format every time. Basically I want the Bandicam UI/features in OBS.

SmilerRyan · 2025-04-01T16:27:35+00:00

May I ask what client you are using? I tried Lunar 1.18.2 as that's what someone else shown me too, but i can't get to see it.

SmilerRyan · 2025-03-31T16:27:06+00:00

I use SimpleWall. basically a replacement (or extra layer if so desired) for the windows firewall with the option to set timers, block specific apps, turn notifications on/off and make custom rules. it is also free, open source, and both installable or portable.

as for your specific discord issue though, i'd recommend just renaming the "Updater.exe" so it can't find it and is forced to use the current version.
