  • Sure but the update can already have done some stuff, leaving your machine in a half-updated and maybe corrupted state. If downclocking doesn’t work there really isn’t a good solution here.

    Edit: oh wait there is, DON’T UPDATE WHEN SLEEPING. And on top of that, just don’t update without my explicit approval at all. Thankfully I run linux where, if it’s not the default already, it’s a config value away.

    What if the person you’re helping has a different UI language? Or when buttons get hidden based on available screen space? Or when you need to get an older person to use a dropdown menu with hover and click options?

    Sure it’s doable, but it’s so much easier to just copy and paste a command. Of course, whenever I tell someone to do something like this, it comes with a lot of warnings about the shell. If they’re close enough I just tell them to never run a random command without consulting me first.


  • Lol what. Thankfully things like doordash or Uber for groceries are not a thing here, at all. Uber eats is here, but I’m pretty sure there’s like 4 drivers total in my town, and they only have the shitty big fastfood chains like mcdonalds and domino’s anyway. Most restaurants just have their own drivers. Sometimes living a little more rural isn’t so bad (it’s also not that rural at all, but if you ask any Dutch person from the west they’ll think I live amongst the cows).
