‘I’ve worked here for a year already. It should be clear by now that I’m not a talkative person. This is a question I don’t want to answer. And I hope that you respect that.’
This won't be taken well at all and sounds incredibly assholish.
‘that I don’t talk doesn’t mean I hate you, it means I have nothing to say’ < I find it ludicrous even having to explain this.
Still kinda rude IMO
‘I don’t see what that has to do with the job’
Depending on the situation could also be rude.
‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’
Yes, this is good. Firm and clear.
‘all right, I need time to unwind, which means today I’ll spend my pause somewhere else.’ and proceed to eat alone somewhere else.
And if they pester yet again:
‘leave me alone’
How about just "Sorry, I don't feel like talking right now." except you say that every time like a broken record. They'll move on eventually since you never have anything to add.
I haven't run windows since 2019. However I need to boot my old drive to grab some data. I really need to make sure this system doesn't update any windows components, but I'll need it to have internet access for a portion of the time....
Forced windows 11 upgrades, breaking VPNs, breaking recovery partitions, intentionally targeting and breaking the win10 start menu for win11, installing unwanted software, enabling ads, adding additional telemetry, adding half baked AI nonsense that nobody asked for, restarting without a prompt and losing progress or canceling a running program... Should I keep going?
and disable Windows Update, Update Orchestrator, and WaaSmedic if it's there.
Alternatively, do the same psexec but regedit instead of services, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services, find those same services I listed above, change the Start value to 4 to disable. I went to the next step and neutered all the registry entries for each of those services to make sure they stayed dead.
To run as System and prevent permission issues from wagging its finger at you and saying "nuh uh". Yes obviously you can open Services the normal way if it wasn't windows update BS
Eeyup, same exact situation here. I leave my work computer overnight reencoding video pretty frequently, and would lose so much productivity due to restarts I didn't ask for.
There were easy to find examples of everything that I said, some of them happened to myself, my family, or my coworkers. If you're going to be blatantly wrong and easily disproved then maybe you shouldn't go on after all.
I've been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote.

I guess I'm rare in that I like working in an office. My house is for relaxing and enjoying my time, so the few times I did WFH I really just want to curl up on the couch instead of work.
One of the main things I kinda ran into recently, credit unions are set up for private accounts and don't do business accounts very well. I bought a car recently and the business owner was telling me that it was a hurdle to deal with large amounts of money on a regular basis with his credit union, and he didn't have issues with his conventional bank in that regard. I don't know the specifics unfortunately but it does make sense.
Literally just make ads less obnoxious, and/or make YouTube premium not stupidly expensive. That's all you fuckin have to do, YouTube, and you can cut a huge portion of the cat and mouse game.
I'm asking because as a light-skinned male, I always use the standard Simpsons yellow. I don't really see other light-skinned people using an emoji that matches their skin tone, but often do see people of color use them. Maybe white people don't naturally realize a need to be explicit with emoji skin-tone or perhaps it's seen as...
It's still pretty light if we're considering the array of skin tones that are throughout humanity. If you weren't Finnish, but instead African or Indian or South American for example, maybe you wouldn't feel that yellow was representative of you and your people. Saying yellow is fine for everyone because you feel it's fine isn't taking into account the other billions of opinions in the world.

Similarly, I was reading about a music artist and it said on their bio that nobody knows who they are or their real name... They have concerts and make millions from sales, surely someone somewhere has to put their name down to send money to them?

"The term "Web3" was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms."
That's horrifying. Why would a potential life-threatening device be controlled by a smartphone app? What functions could possibly not be handled on the pump itself and need to be offloaded? What FDA crook was paid off to allow such a stupid thing to hit the market?
Why does it need a connection to another device in the first place though? Silicon is tiny and cheap; all the logic, sensing, and scheduling could be done inside the pump.
