I just had windows update almost brick an iPad. I have this old iPad I use to watch movies or shows while working out. I almost never update it it just sits on my network to connect to jellyfin. Well it wasn’t playing some shows and it looks like I needed to update its codec and stuff but it refused to do it from the iPad guess if you let it sit to long or something. So I boot up my old windows 10 PC that maybe gets turned on once a year for shit like this. Sit through like 4 hours of updates and 4-5 restarts I can finally install iTunes to update the iPad. As its updating the iPad windows just goes fuck you and does a update and restarts itself. I look at the iPad it spazzes a bit then comes up with this recovery error please contact support… Fuck get back into windows try updating the iPad again says it won’t update and that I must wipe and recover it. Fuck. Recovering the iPad worked but it wiped everything from it then had to spend the next hour trying to remember my apple password the last time I used it was like 5 years ago. In other words fuck windows. I hate apple too, the iPad was a gift. It works for what I use it for.

Different topic but same idea. Worth a watch.

I booted an old Windows VM the othere day. By old I mean last I booted it was like 6 months ago. Needed to do something that could only be done in windows. But after 3 hours of updating and 3 restarts I was finaly able to run the program I needed for 5 minutes then shut it down only to do it all over again in 6 months… every time I do this I hate it even more. Not to mention the 7 popups I had telling me to upgrade to 11 fallowed by your system doesnt meet the minimium requirments for Windows 11.

I never really understood the obsession to cover cameras. While yes you don’t want someone to hack it and yes I do cover mine. What are they going to do? Watch you fap? I really don’t care. I personally am much more concerned with the mic. I would hate for someone to record me saying something well not so pleasant. You can use your imagination. I rarely see people mention the mic. I see it mentioned a few times here but not much. I much rather have a kill switch for my mic.
