why?
We have altered the Clock app. Pray we do not alter it further.
This deal is getting worse all the time!
It will now report home every timer you’ve ever set, what names you gave them, and what browser tabs were open at the time.
But not what time you set the timers for. That’s in a future update
“We’re making the clock app cloud enabled! Now you’ll be able to set and clear alarms from any of your Windows™ connected devices! We’ve also implemented customisable actions with PowerShell scripting now fully integrated! Want your display to show a lovely sunrise every morning? Clock App can do it!”
Next minute -
"Security update 13112023-33: A malicious user can access the internet-exposed ClockAccess™ interface on your devices, setting alarms with scripted actions that can cause complete loss or exfiltration of your data.
To mitigate this issue, we have shifted ClockAccess™ to a more secure, fully cloud-based service. This also means that once updated, the application will be unavailable if there is no internet access. Please adjust your usage of the application accordingly.
As the Clock app runs under a Local Administrator account on consumer versions of Windows™ and Domain Administrator on Windows Server™ machines, this is a high priority update and it will be installed on application startup without user confirmation. You may notice increased resource utilisation by the Clock App, this is a necessary increase due to new and improved security features. It is recommended that at least one vCPU and 1.5GB of memory be made available at all times for efficient operation of the app."
It seems you opened clock for the first time, that’s why it’s updating
Ah yes I need to update my lock so I can get the latest ads and spyware.

Chronology is progressing
Almost made me tear up a bit
Godamnit Einstein, not again.
That update is going to take some time.
Man…fuck you…take your upvote and gtfo
Estimated update time is being updated please wait [Estimated update time is being updated please wait[Estimated update time is being updated please wait…] minutes] minutes
Aww man
They need to add a 3 back to the clock. That 3 bug is a big problem.
little things like this that would have only gotten updates for one version of windows to another, for ui changes or sumsuch, now get updates frequently, and since they’re ‘store’ updates now, you have even less control over them. it’s rather annoying.

This is actually not a Windows but a general modern development issue. Things need to change. Change! CHAAAAANGE! Value! Effort! Work! Endlessly! GROWTH!
Look at how many apps update every 1-3 days. It’s crazy.
I was hoping once Moore’s law crapped out companies would switch their focus from “CHANGE! FEATURES! MOAR CHANGR11!1” to performance and stability. What a fool I was.
This has driven me nuts about computers for 30 years at least. More things used to be built for a couple lifetimes. I guess capitalism (or maybe stock investments) pushed ever increasing consumption. And so we get this need for everything changing all the time.
Out in my garage I have a set of wood planes that are basically the same design for the last 120 years. My oldest is, I think, 1940s. Stanley is still selling these without any changes because they’re not needed. My newest plane I got in 2022. They don’t need new features. They work.
Software could be like this. Focus on stability first, then performance, then truly helpful, necessary features third. The latter are a lot rarer when you stop changing for the sake of changing.
one mans “rather annoying” is another mans “fucking infuriating”… i’m the other man
Come to linux, we have the ability to update every 10 seconds or never, entirely your choice.
Already am on Linux for the past 5 years ;-)
But my work PC is windows shit, soooo

u mean starting a linux vm on my work pc? that’s not possible. Workplace services shut those things down completely. Can’t install or run anything not blessed by the pope himself.

yup it sure does… especially since i am working in IT but all my collegues “dont want the hassle of implementing linux machines into the work environment… windows works why do you want linux?” gosh darnit
At least issues with the “work PC” are generally paid.
I hate dealing with Windows issues in my time for free.
i got my dad to let me install Linux on his PC aswell. I told him that i will not come over to fix his windows install ever again but i would be happy to teach him how to use linux. He is very happy on Linux Mint for the last 2 years now aswell
BloatyNosy, thank me later
Windows
there’s your problem
Microsoft is so successful that they turned windows into a meme.
I got you OP. Pull up YouTube. The microwave time for 12 pizza rolls is exactly the length of the song “Scraping the Bottom of the Barrel” by Frank Hudson.
The Hudson Hawk school of timers.

For your food windows?
Windows: Feed me!

I misread that, too. With punctuation, it would be:
…for my food. Windows, why?!
(They’re addressing the Windows operating system.)
That’s not misreading, that’s miswriting!

Where is the timer? I dont have one. I need to install one through apt
What are “food windows”?
Examples of bad grammar.
