you'll hate me man coz I fuckin' hate updating. always worthless. never is it better.

first thing I did when I installed windows 10 on my mums pc just the other day? find out how to turn off auto updates.. coz that isn't as easy to do anymore (although it isn't difficult, just not obvious)


here is a typical real world scenario


*busy worker bee all productive n poo poo*

*sees notification of update pending*

*clicks like a clown feeding out of a garbage can*

things that have never happened because someone refused to update
  • things just stopped working

things that happen when people don't update
  • life carries on as normal
  • people around you smile and remember your name
  • can still remember the touch of a woman
  • smells pleasant
