Can anyone please tell me how can i get my win11 to update to version 25H2?

It has been months I am stuck at "Update and shut-down" but it never updates. Nothing works :((((((((((((

I almost always use voice dictation when no one's around. I think having physical keyboards is a sign of regression.
An old office colleague used to tell us there was a time when he'd print a report prepared with Lotus123 (Ancient Excel) and their boss would verify the calculations on a calculator saying computers are not reliable. :o

Re:Marines now have an official drone-fighting handbook on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @04:27AM (#44809310)
Saw the importance of drone fighting in Pakistan's recent clashes with India. They sent drones to big cities like Lahore/Karachi so IMO even Police and Civil Defense should also get these trainings.

TBH I want them to use more AI; as in automating tasks. Especially daily financial transactions. But it seems we're 5 years away from there :S

I turned down a website development offer when I learnt it was for pay-day loans (interest is haram).
lol yeah.. no rubbernecking people!
Pakistan (under Imran Khan) a few years ago did that.
Um.. I'd say there maybe a wake up call during these 15 years like a storm that the EV drivers cannot run from (because the range wouldn't let them).

I wonder what's it gonna be then??? Government busses?

How much extra would it cost compared to plain vanilla CarPlay? /s
My current VBA coding is all generated by Chat-GPT/Claude/Deepseek.

There is no use of writing VBA these days :@

I was wondering about building a payment SMS notification -> Tracking app.

It would be more real-time and give me heartaches everytime I go out of budget :D:D:D

Potoooooooo died in November 1800 at the age of 27 and was buried at Hare Park. Some 200 years later, his skeleton was uncovered when a tree blew over. The skeleton is on display at the Kings Yard Galleries of the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket.

Love Blender's interface. I wish MS Excel was built like this. Dragging the border to create new viewports, customizable views, ease of binding keyboard shortcuts to functions.. FA-BU-LO-SO
Sitting for less time is also not good :S

Re:Even Microsoft Notepad is getting AI text editing now on Thursday November 07, 2024 @04:15AM (#42075032)
I hate that Win11 Notepad has so many tabs open even after you close the app.

Many times, I just paste my copied text in Notepad to strip the formatting + special characters and close it after re-copying the data. Pretty efficient.

Now that I open Notepad.. all my previous tabs are open asking me to close them one after the other (extra click on not so save the file) :@ so annoying

The real question.. what if someone dies just before the person who they voted for is announced a winner :(
