People have commented that it’s crazy that I have completely disabled all updates on my win10 machine. This sort of thing is why.
Edit: I haven’t had a virus or malware since… I was a teenager. It seems like if you use an adblocker, don’t click links from unknown sources, and are aware of your network activity, you are pretty safe. The writing is on the wall, I am aware that I will need to switch to Linux soon, but I am also aware that Linux has compatibility issues with my particular machine and doesn’t work with certain activities I like to do. I am hoping these issues will be mostly sorted by the time I make the leap.
This is why many of our packages weren’t delivered. We have a low front gate with a latch, and we have had many parcels taken to the post office without a delivery attempt.
After calling aupost for the umpteenth time, they have told me that their drivers have been instructed to not enter any sort of gate because of dog attacks, unless they know the house and that there is not a dog.
The second line of our address for everything now says “NO DOGS! Thank you!” and since doing that no problems.
