uh guys please i beg u if u have the choice DO NOT INSTALL THE LATEST WINDOWS UPDATE theres a good chance itll destroy your pc
here’s some info on what it may do to your computer and here are some potential ways to fix it
just to date this post, the above articles are from may 23, 2018 and may 24, 2018, respectively. this is still going on, and as of these dates microsoft has not found a fix. here’s another article from may 24, 2018 that describes the problem and links to a list of ways to delay getting the update until they patch it.
sometimes old posts about bad pc updates circulate on this site months or even years after they’re defunct, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES!!! please be careful guys, there are reports of machines being bricked by this update 😦
yeah no this is legit, it fucking made my computer unbootable, I’ve been struggling to get a back up up for days now
Just in case, for those who don’t know how to stop your Windows 10 computer from auto-updating w/o your permission; you need to do the following steps.
go to Control Panel>View large icons>Admistrative tools>Services>Scroll down and find Windows Update>Double click>Stop the current session>click Manuel or Disable from the drop down>Apply
You should also right-click the Windows Update entry and change the Startup type to Manual; it will never install an update without consent.
Also, go to Windows 10 Settings (click the Windows icon or open the Start Menu and click the gear icon in the lower left), go to Updates & Security, then Advanced Options. You can Pause Updates for up to 35 days, which should allow enough time for Microsoft to come up with a patch for this.
Be warned, this update (and presumably any patch they create to fix the problem) will remove HomeGroup from Windows 10. If you rely on this functionality, you will be screwed.
I know that in internet land we all get like, fundraiser fatigue. I don’t reblog every link I see because I would never be able to keep up.
However, this is an old friend of mine who’s been in a shitty abusive relationship for years and it’s just getting really scary. He controls her bank account so we’re having to do this in secret–we have some third parties available to get the money to her when it’s time so that he doesn’t intercept. But he’s getting increasingly violent and this shit needs to fucking stop.
You might also call this fundraiser:
Help Kacy and her Various Goth Friends Avoid Murder Charges Cause I’m Ready to Fucking Vivisect This Fucking Dude
If you can help, even a little, even just sharing, please do. ❤
I usually don’t reblog these bc of the fundraiser fatigue thing, too, and bc it’s hard to know whether they are legit or not, but in this case I met @monstersinthecosmos in the flesh, so if she says this is legit, then I take her word for it. And yeah I’d prefer she and her Various Goth Friends avoid murder charges!
So if you can’t help, signal boost, please. Much appreciated!
You (or your parents) pay approx $40-$100 or higher for internet.
So that you can all use youtube, google, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc. etc. etc. This isn’t limited to social media.
Net neutrality says, “Okay, since you already paid x amount of money for the month, you don’t have to pay for each asset individually. Enjoy your internet.”
NO net neutrality means that your service provider (comcast, at&t, verizon, whatever it may be) gets to say “ACTUALLY, it lines our pockets so give us an extra $5.99 for Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Oh, but that doesn’t include Tumblr; that comes with our premium package. That’ll be $5.99 on its own as well. Now about your Google docs and email…
That’s why it’s important. That’s why I’m spamming Net Neutrality crap. If you’re using the internet, it’s YOUR problem.
-Email your congressman (text resist to 50409) It’s easy, you don’t have to talk to anyone.
-Swim the #NetNeutrality tag on Twitter. Seriously, it’s helpful.
And lastly, GET THIS TRENDING. It’s trending on Twitter but it needs to trend here too. This is everyone’s issue.
Do you applying for jobs online?
Do you like randomly saying “wow this sounds neat, let me google it and learn more about it?”
How about “hey who played Horatio in last year’s performance?”
wHAT ABOUT DOING HOMEWORK WITH THE INTERNET?
….
…
….
And of course….”wow this politician/company/group seems really shady, I should educate myself by more than just word of mouth so I can be an informed citizen.”
If you like the freedom of doing any of that, then yeah, this is important.
This isn’t about losing tumblr or twitter (Gods, if I had to pay for this hellsite I’d finally be able to Leave it and do something with my life anyway) this is about freedom of easy access to information.
Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!
This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!
Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!
Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.
