...for making updating Windows 10 Enterprise to the why-do-I-really-need-this Anniversary Edition so painful.
(And frankly, all I've seen with AE is an even slower VPN connection dialog that now fails as much as it works. Bonus!)
cheers

If the vpn connection process is failing half of the time - or more... try this:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
pause
shutdown /r
As well, It's been suggested that the "netsh int ip reset" command fails because of insufficient permissions in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nsi\{eb004a00-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc}\26
To fix - right-click on key in regedit -> permissions -> tick "full control"

Thanks, looks super(!) easy. Good to have next time Microsoft decides to "help" me.

I spent 40 minutes waiting for it to install, then another 10 minutes waiting for it to roll everything back after it failed without a word of explanation - just "Restoring your previous operating system".
Maybe I've had a lucky escape, but it'll probably try again.
And fail again.
Repeatedly.

Remember when MS used to write operating systems that actually made us smile?

I must be in a minority. Anniversary edition installed flawlessly and no problems with the VPN.

Same here, although I don't use VPN. No other issues, not even freezing.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The stars are there. They are just a little dusty. That's why they're dark.

A few, short years ago they would have declared that the galaxy unarguably contained a massive black hole or two.
This year's fashion is little black dresses dark <insert noun here>, though, so the good news is that we don't have to put up with so much BS about black holes.
Now all the BS is about dark <insert noun here>.
What ever happened to the requirement for genuine empirical evidence? A couple of hundred photons a year really doesn't qualify.

You dare question the consensus science of modern times!?!
I suppose you question the reality of other proven phenomena too, like Nessie and Sasquatch!!!
Get your head back in Science, man!!!

You're right. My apologies.
I shall think on the error of my ways, tonight, as I sit in my radium bath and smoke lots of health-giving tobacco.

"Dark matter"
"Black holes"
"Evolved over millions of years"
And especially "Alien life"
Are the great deus-ex-machina items used when the naturalistic evolution world view cannot explain something. I am surprised actually they did not speculate the stars were surrounded with alien Dyson spheres... Humans always try to explain away God's role in creation

We elves do not care about such minor problems.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

... until they see me coming. I'm charging the batteries and will go flying with the helicopters this afternoon.
After a longer break, I have begun working on my next helicopter again. It's a model of a Bell UH-1B, but I will try to pass it off as this 'Echo' model.[^]
The mechanical part is an older T-Rex 450 (still with paddles). It has already be modified and mounted inside the body. Now I'm adding all kinds of details, like panels, antennae. air intakes or door hinges. Some real model building for a change and even more fun is coming up: Adding hundreds of rivets.
Have a look here[^], here[^] and here.[^]
I still am looking for a way to make the weapons and their mounts. I want a gunship, not a 'Slick'. This will probably be a good excuse to play with a 3D printer.
