Meme transcription: Anakin & Padme

[Panel 1] Anakin tries selects “Update and shut down” from the Windows start menu.

[Panel 2] Padme, labeled as “Windows”, cheerily says: ”You mean ‘Update and restart’, right?”

[Panel 3] Anakin takes an annoyed look.

[Panel 4] Padme, still cheery, says “I’ll just ‘Update and Restart’.”

I can't stand how windows updates are so intrusive. Sometimes I'll leave my computer on running a task overnight and Windows will just say "Oh fuck you, I restarted halfway through the night, and then your computer sat idle for 3 hours". And, btw, I have updates "suspended"

I'm like everyone else here, I run Linux for most of my stuff, but Windows is on one last box, and it's just so aggravating now

My experience is Windows starting updates during the night, getting stuck on bitlocker, so fans are yelling at 100 until I can login

Set fan speed in bios

I had fans at the most silent setting in bios but it's not a good fallback for those times when speedfan fails. It's a tough compromise
