The fact that firefox updates when I open it instead of when I close it. Has to be the most annoying feature ever. (lemy.lol)

I mean like why? Just open and update when I'm done that's what every other browser does. Stop making me wait to use the Internet firefox!

Would you prefer:

“Firefox Updater

This app is preventing shutdown”

You shut your PC down?

Yeah, no reason not to. Takes only a couple of seconds to boot, and everything is reset to a clean state.

I started using Windows 11 in December 2023 and tried to just use sleep. My 🔋 drained fast while my 💻 was on sleep. I expected it. AMD and Intel processors generally aren't as efficient as the Apple M soc.

While it was on sleep, there were times it suddenly needed to restart.

I once had a blue screen of death too.

So now, I shut it down most of the time. Windows 11 boot-ups and shutdowns are surprisingly fast. :)

It's not just the cpus. Microsoft has a very broken implementation for sleep. I saw an ltt video talking about it and apperently a microsoft employee was able to reproduce the bug. Don't know if there's any news tho

@drawerair @bob_lemon

I still have 10 and I dread 11.

If you <3 10, downloading 11 isn't a must, I think. I was still on 7 when 10 was released.

I got a X570 board with the really loud fan.

Instead of sleep mode, I think they meant.

huh?

Huh what?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

well what did they mean?

[–] ripcord 0 points 4 weeks ago

They meant - it seems unusual to shut the computer all the way down on a regular basis instead of just using sleep mode most of the time.

My laptop won't charge from USB-C if the battery fully dies, so I shut it down to prevent that.
