- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- 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.
3. Post Linux-related content

in Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

I just had windows update almost brick an iPad. I have this old iPad I use to watch movies or shows while working out. I almost never update it it just sits on my network to connect to jellyfin. Well it wasn't playing some shows and it looks like I needed to update its codec and stuff but it refused to do it from the iPad guess if you let it sit to long or something. So I boot up my old windows 10 PC that maybe gets turned on once a year for shit like this. Sit through like 4 hours of updates and 4-5 restarts I can finally install iTunes to update the iPad. As its updating the iPad windows just goes fuck you and does a update and restarts itself. I look at the iPad it spazzes a bit then comes up with this recovery error please contact support... Fuck get back into windows try updating the iPad again says it won't update and that I must wipe and recover it. Fuck. Recovering the iPad worked but it wiped everything from it then had to spend the next hour trying to remember my apple password the last time I used it was like 5 years ago. In other words fuck windows. I hate apple too, the iPad was a gift. It works for what I use it for.
this also happens to me occasionally when using wsl (i have to use windows at work). There's an update to wsl? just force shutdown the wsl vm
