I just want to know why my Windows 10 laptop is waking up by itself in the middle of the night to apply updates it isn’t supposed to have? What the fuck?!
You don’t own proprietary software. When you allow it access to your computing resources, you can just hope it does what you want it to do, the way you want it to.
Sounds like a bonkers extremist position, and in a way it is, but it’s also true.
Have a look at “wake timers”, they might be at fault and need disabling
You know, when an OS out of the box needs hours of disabling invasive bullshit on first boot, maybe the OS is kind of a problem.
I know switching isn’t an alternative for all, hell, even disabling bullshit isn’t possible for everyone but for those who can here’s a script to manage the most blatant fuckery:
