Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

windows has an app store?

only Apple platforms have the App Store

Windows has like a rundown shop in the sketchy part of town with lots of suspiciously cheaply packaged "name brand" goods

My bad, I assumed something else was wrong because I've had authentication errors with the app that turned out to a problem with imgur itself.

if it's the morning and my pc is still updating i just restart it and it rolls back the update. the chance of that recently feels like it's 80%. and i thought thye were supposed to make the update process better somehow

it's still 12 hours for me, which is better than what it was, but still inadequate.

18 hours is just about correct if you have to have the setting.

I usually reboot it myself after updates to avoid the hassle but sometimes i forget and come in the next morning and the loving thing has restarted itself and blown away all my open windows and tabs and poo poo

also enterprise now ignores the 'never reboot automatically' group policy setting >:|
