Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Idiots, they are simply idiots.
So, on my new Windows 11 Pro laptop, I was notified that hey, it's time for an update. We estimate 3 minutes apply and reboot. Thinking I might as well get it over with, I say "Rodger dodger."
It's been going now for 45 minutes, has rebooted 3 times, and I'm going to bed. I guess this is what happens when your OS is a tightly tangled bowl of spaghetti.

I have to count myself lucky. I've never had an update problem, although a couple of MS updates seemed to mess up my VPN but also seemed to be fixed in short order. And even luckier considering how often Dell wants to update its BIOS. I'd have thought a BIOS would be left alone for longer.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
If they never release BIOS updates, it feels like the system's turned into abandonware on the day you purchased it.
If they release them too frequently, you start wondering what they're doing over there, constantly finding BIOS bugs serious enough they need patching.
I almost bricked an expensive printer years ago because of a botched BIOS update. Fortunately there was a rollback procedure - which wasn't easy to follow, but I did manage to revive it on my own. So I always get a little nervous, watching a BIOS upgrade progress bar getting stuck somewhere for a few minutes at a time...

Itβs weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

For me, every estimate is for 3 minutes. Average is probably actually 20-30 mins.

The guy behind the time estimation just gave up.
[Edit]
If that guy ever gets cancer and asks how long he has left...
(that took a dark turn)

Hi All,
I am still here! I have not really posted much recently (I have asked the odd question in despartion) but... still like to read the lounge and the Daily email. The last few there has been no selection of conversation, is it still a thing? Daily CCC is back (I think) never made any headway, also I miss Moive Quote of The Day... ah memories. You young whipper snappers get off my lawn!

See here The Lounge[^]
and here Bugs and Suggestions[^], for a little taste of what's going on (or not) with the site.

Yeah, a kind of odd limbo state, not really knowing anything.

It's that feeling of desperation you get when you realize you've just deleted the wrong partition and you know you have no backup.
(sorry, it's the best I could do on short notice...)
