windows 10 updated itself after i went to bed last night.

in its infinite wisdom it also decided to close everything (resulting in the loss of a file i didn't save, like an idiot), break the drivers for my audio interface and re-enable a bunch of previously disabled settings (mostly related to text anti-aliasing (which i have turned off because text looks really blurry when antialiased, at least imo) but a few animation-related settings were also re-enabled. i don't like having a little animation play when i open a window or minimize it. i want it to happen instantly!)

i spent an hour fixing it. i am pissed because it didn't TELL me i was going to get an update. it didn't specify a time that the update was going to happen. and there's been a bunch of other shit.

i usually keep my computer running overnight and for some reason windows 10 has decided that it should activate a sleep mode. i did not turn this feature on. i got scared shitless when i woke up one morning and found my computer was off. i thought it was broken.

so fuck you windows, for changing so much shit without my permission! i don't give a singular fuck if it's The Way Things Are Supposed To Be or something. let me change and modify everything. cowards.

windows 10 is nearing its EOL? what? legit i've been using win10 for years and didnt know that lol. it's kind of weird to me because windows 10 is still a pretty "new" operating system to me. something that a lot of people are still using. i think there's a couple of computers at tech stores (jb hifi, officeworks etc) that still have win10 on them.

windows 11 seems... questionable? microsoft is currently trying to get in on the whole AI grift, a lot of features which were in 10 aren't available in 11 and in general it has a very flat UI design that i am not a fan of in any way. i hated it when win8 did it and i still hate it now. give me bevels, cuntzzzzzz!
