I'm currently missing a university class because of a wincrap update I didn't consent to. It didn't even ask if it can reboot, it just randomly did it while I was working.

Do I have some sort of legal grounds to sue?

SUE EM!!!

Oh yes, as long as they see you unfit for their OS, they'll update it in front of you. How evil muahahahahhhahhahahahahHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Probably not, but I haven't read that 20 mile document that call an "EULA" in a long time.

@C0D4 we probably all consented to random updates whenever they deem it critical 🤦‍♀️

Fixed it. Changed every setting regarding the windows update ransomware in the group policy editor.

Also changed the update server to the intranet ip address "fuck your mom". I think its valid ipv4 so windows should be able to parse it and connect to it to download the next downgrade.

I think you need the:

"You can only sleep...update at night." setting

Why don't you use a Unix- / Linux-based OS then, if you hate Windows so much?
Games, special commercial software,..?
Just curious 😉

@Nanos Oh no! Whatever will I do without Bing?

@jay91 Because of VR. I dont want my $400 oculus to become a paperweight.

Also I am currently transitioning to Arch (dual booting) and I'm working on a linux driver for the oculus rift s.

@SparkyTD

Thx for your answer.
How do you do that, develop your own driver? Do you reengineer the windows driver or would that not work bc of the different OS architecture?

Also I'm curious, is that driver situation the same for all vr goggles?

@jay91 It's actually very complex because I need to re-implement the inside-out tracking.

I don't know about other devices. Outside-in tracking is probably more straightforward.
