I don't see the other companies fucking up so badly though.
You don't? Shit I see it all the time.
damn i haven’t used Windows in over a decade. are y’all ok?
Rofl, like Unix OSes never have problems. Even developers, who are among the most tech savvy users, tend to drag their feet on installing updates unless forced.
i was mostly making a joke about how this absolutely is not a common problem on any platform, not to this degree. and at least when my Arch and Nix systems go down i don’t have anyone to blame but myself. sure, systems have update issues, but a kernel level meltdown that requires a safe mode rescue? that’s literally never happened to me unless it was my fault

As a sysad, I’ll sign onto this.
Windows users are never OK.
Have you tried turning them off, then turning them on again?
