Seriously though what is that even? It's like someone decided to open up a hard drive and stick some generic circuitry above it for shits and giggles and then took the picture.
[QUOTE=TestECull;33758765] I'm dumb because I'm able to keep my computer secure and malware free without indundating windows with gigabytes upon gigabytes of half-broken updates that don't do me any good and which only contribute to bloating an already bloated as fuck OS? Riiiiiiight.[/QUOTE] Came here to quote this incredibly stupid post
indundating
[QUOTE=TestECull;33759176]I'm not gonna debate it with you guys, [B]because I know I'm going to lose[/B]. You're more than welcome to continue to bloat up your Windows folder with [B]critical updates that keep it secure[/B] and run your [B]250GB to unlimited[/B] internet meters up on things that do absolutely fucking nothing [B]but make Windows less vulnerable to malware and in a few cases substantially improve performance[/B]. Me? I'll just be laughing and enjoying Windows installs that actually work [B]long enough for me to get on Facepunch and make dumbshit posts like this before I get hit with a random drive-by attack that deletes everything on my hard drive[/B].[/QUOTE] Fixed that for you.

[QUOTE=TestECull;33752442]Control panel --> Windows Update --> Change Settings link in upper left --> Never Check For Updates --> Done. First thing I do when installing Windows, before it ever gets an internet connection for the first time, is nuke Windows Update. I recommend you do the same, you don't need all those pointless updates if you're remotely internet smart. [/QUOTE] I do the same thing, but not because it is stupid to update. I just don't like it reminding me or updating when I don't want it to.
[QUOTE=TestECull;33758765]I've been running updateless since XP's heyday and I've never had any malware issues I couldn't directly backtrace to a derp download I made, and of those, last one was in...2005?[/QUOTE] Why do you think you have to download shit to get malware? I hope you don't use Java, Flash or Adobe pdf viewer with that attitude against updates in general.

Awesome. I miss the interface of six, in a way, but I can see that it needed to die. I'd use Chrome more often if it didn't crash so much.
