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!

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. :)

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.

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
