i just start with the basic rule of: whatever they want or suggest or default to, the opposite is probably what should be configured or answered instead.

    My work computer had an update yesterday, logged in and my usual browser wasn't the default. Have seen it a few times. So while I usually agree if it is my usual I change it back to that. I hate windows programs asking to be my default, I know what I want, if it's you you'll know otherwise piss off.

    So many windows notifications lately for the stupidest crap. I already set it up how I liked now stop bugging me so I can write code. Also if I wanted backups, to set up a Microsoft account my windows install will be the first to know. Otherwise piss off.

    Not productive when I get distracted and annoyed.
