To Update or Not to Update?


Recommended Posts

We ran mbam - pulled off some infections, now moving forward.  He just really didnt want things to change once he had things the way he liked it.  

Whatever the reasoning for his behavior, he started a thread about, was open to suggestions, and most importantly agreed with me :D  no Im kidding - most importantly, acted on the new information.

Now, installing an AV, and going to do local complete system backups - so - I would say this thread has been a success... but apparently Kelxin thinks I am a sheep creating more sheep for installing updates - at least I think thats what he was getting at with his 

 

 

Nice job man! \m/

Pushing people to blindly install updates (or have full automatic updates turned on) does indeed nudge them to becoming a blind sheep one step at a time, and anyone admitting to having a problem with wanting to go through updates without blindly installing them is not having a problem at all, and you suggesting that they do have a problem again is trying to make more people into sheep, so baaahh to you.

Reasons such as this entire conversation is why Windows 10 (not Pro or enterprise) doesn't even have an option to turn off updates or even pick which ones you want.

Well - maybe you should try reading the actual threads - instead of just spouting off.  


Either you aren't reading, cant read very well, dont understand what you are reading, or are just blindly following me around in the forum commenting on all my posts - which is a little weird.

I read his post, gave it about .00001 sec of thought and moved on to the rest of this very informative and helpful post. This is how it should be, this is how it should work. Again, nice job.

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
