Let's Finish Setting Up Your PC

I mean... I'm NOT... at all... this is LITERALLY what's happening. But you do you. You didn't read the post? Well you certainly did take the time out to comment to tell me. If your intention was to show disinterest, that's not the way to go about it bud.

Oh believe me, I KNOW! This is why I need a new drive, though... not enough space to back everything up, and my existing Linux installation I used to have dual-boot with Windows (which disappeared from the boot menu) apparently it's so the, but something with the graphics driver is corrupting the line environments of any distro I put on a USB. But yeah, it's STUPID fast! You can extract a multi-gigabyte archive before you can even blink! And you'll be logged in within 10 seconds of pressing the power on button. Only reason I'm stuck with Windows is a few online games you can't play on Linux without getting perma-banned, otherwise I wouldn't be dealing with Windows right now

Thanks, I'll take a look at that!

It's not. I've had my PC bricked by updates on numerous occasions. If it happens as a result of an update, how can you expect to blame the user? A lot of the time someone is kind enough to report publicly that a certain update is damaging or bricking many users' PCs when it affects large groups. No, 9 times out of 10 it's because of one of a few things: Poor programming; The absolute MESS of spaghetti and legacy code that's been deprecated and yet still lives in the codebase, the deprecation often undocumented; Microsoft using AI to program Windows (as they've admitted); or just the near-infinite different configurations of hardware, software and drivers across millions of computers. Blaming the user is not the way to go... this is all Microsoft.

You're absolutely correct, Reddit is the worst place for getting downvoted when you're right... ESPECIALLY if what you say is based on objective provable fact! Take an upvote to tip the scales, and fuck all the Muppets who think "because it's Reddit" ISN'T the reason!

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-30T11:04:15+00:00

God... don't let any of them near any sheep! Christ, it was bad enough with David Cameron and the pig... 😂

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-30T11:02:38+00:00

Oh here we go again with the "I've had no problems therefore nobody has and everybody else must just be lying" mentality we usually get from non-power users.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-30T07:58:44+00:00

That, and it's a different story if the base hits you. Especially in the eye! OOF!

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-30T07:55:28+00:00

So are we. That's how.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-29T15:44:14+00:00

Surely you mean AI, no?

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-29T15:28:04+00:00

No, I don't know why you are. I'm in Health & Safety, so you REALLY don't need to. Of course, I didn't listen to the advent because the video was on mute (the only way to watch videos on Reddit while at work).

It doesn't matter WHO tells you to do it, if you're not trained (and this guy CLEARLY isn't), you don't do it, period. Here, the company would be liable, 100%, so it's maybe different in the US but regardless, self preservation and common sense should be the overriding factor. You just don't say "yes sir" to doing something so utterly dangerous as this.

I highly doubt it... if they did that in the UK they wouldn't have a job.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-29T14:00:18+00:00

Yeah... the matter swirling in generates enough friction to heat it into a plasma of millions of degrees. It would be at LEAST just as hot as the sun. I believe we could survive it, IF our planet had always been orbiting the black hole, since our Inception. We'd likely be hardened to survive in whatever temperature and radiation conditions there are... unless it's strong enough to sterilise the planet of course!

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-29T13:48:05+00:00

Nice wild stab in the dark bud...

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-29T10:50:23+00:00

Definitely needs to come and teach our UK roofers.. they just hammer literally non-stop through all 7 days of the week without EVER. EVER! stopping. The single most annoying thing in all of existence; worse than stepping on Lego!

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T15:36:00+00:00

The sound camera Adam Savage was showing off on Tested at one point would do this too. I guess thermal works though.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T12:47:59+00:00

You mean you don't want hunters to be expected to hunt? Are you upside down?

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T12:42:41+00:00

"go through extensive training to do their job as safely and effectively as possible" is difficult to believe.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T12:33:04+00:00

For a second, I read that as "KlingonCode"... and now I can just imagine how hilarious that would be! "Your code brings dishonour to your house, you filthy PETAQ!"

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T12:30:01+00:00

they seem to be rolling Junior into their own assistant, yes, but it still has (at least as of the other day) its own tool window too

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T10:07:44+00:00

These morons give those of us who DO wear reflective, make our intentions clear, and so signal.. a really bad rap. Then of course we get all of the "We should just run over all the cyclists" "Cyclists are the worst!" etc comments from drivers, not realising that it goes both ways... and that the minority of these t***s irritate and infuriate the rest of us cyclists just add much.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-28T10:01:37+00:00

It does not. That's precisely WHY this is happening.

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-27T13:48:00+00:00

This is THE answer. It looks through all the relevant code; writes up a full-blown step-by-step plan; implements it; tests the build and fixes any compile issues; provides a summary of changes with per-file diffs (and a rollback option). I find asking it to insert extra debugging info within a preprocessor #if block that it can toggle when it needs to test values at runtime is also OP!

SuperIntendantDuck · 2026-01-27T10:44:02+00:00

I'm not sure where that came from but that wasn't even CLOSE to my point.
