Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    It's actually pretty easy to permanently disable updates in Windows.

    • Go to Services.msc
    • Find Windows Update Services
    • Changed it to Disabled

    Done.

    This only works for a while on Windows 10 as the service will eventually become enabled. Depending on release we saw some PC's last a month while others could last a year with the service disabled.

    For anybody wondering why, these stations had deep freeze which reverted any changes upon reboot.

    that makes sense for a deep freeze scenario
