For the first time in two decades of my tumultuous relationship with the coldhearted mistress that is Microsoft Windows, I am glad that it turned itself on. It didn’t update itself. It didn’t even bluescreen for no reason and update itself in its confusion.

The torrent finished downloading about an hour before I got home, and by the time I noticed it finished, the elusive seeder was long gone. I feel oddly at ease. I feel oddly… responsible. For propagating knowledge to future seekers.

Is this dull enough for here?

Have this terrible photoshop bodge job as an offering of my goodwill.

    It has to be a driver thing from my side. I use a laptop that’s made by a Chinese ODM, so driver support for the onboard stuff can be a bit lacking after the following model releases. It’s just how it is. My LAN adapters’ settings have wake-on-LAN disabled.

    I think something about the sleep state isn’t working quite right because of that. Windows’ own Event Viewer reporting system will just tell me it exited a sleep state for an unknown reason.

    Edit: I might have replied to the wrong comment lol. Should be some Wake-On-Lan thing in your case, I think.
