For my own amusement I was thinking a delay install button that doesn't work but makes you feel in control would be golden.

Although I haven't played with this much myself, I've been told the metered connection option only exists on Wifi connections.  The option isn't available for ethernet connections.

As I am on Windows 10 Home, I speak with experience. You can delay the installation with the option Settings > Update & security > Advanced options > Notify to schedule restart. You'll be notified to schedule a restart, which is when it'll install the updates it automatically downloaded.

I haven't tested it in great detail, but I think that only controls when the restart happens, not when the updates are actually installed. More than once I've gone into the updates window on a Win10 Home laptop to see that it wanted to reboot and was saying it would restart at 3:15 AM with an option to defer, but it looked like the updates it was rebooting for had already been installed.

Also, not all updates require a reboot, even in Win7 and 8.




One other thing I noticed is that Win10 Home completely removes support for connecting to a WSUS server.

My control group for that was a Win8.1 Pro desktop and a Win8.1 Home laptop, both of which were configured through Group Policy to get their updates from a WSUS server, therefore they only see updates that I have approved.

After upgrading them both to Win10 with no other changes, the Pro machine still only shows updates approved through WSUS (and it hilariously shows up as "Windows Vista" in the WSUS management console now). The Win10 Home machine no longer updates its status in WSUS and seems to be getting updates directly from Microsoft, ignoring the policy settings entirely.

Had I known Triumph was a east coast server I would have played on it. Started on Victory, when I finally had enough of not finding teams... especially redside, I jumped to Virtue.

When I first started playing City (or rather, shortly afterwards, when I got my own account: I started playing on my brother's account) I picked Triumph as my home server, because it was at the top of the server list.

This was exactly why I picked Triumph myself, it was at the top of the list.

For being a small server, it seems like there is alot of people on this forum from Triumph

Yep, that setting only controls reboot, not installation.

Yep yep.  This has already caused issues.

Apparently this was a very deliberate change.

I assumed the disproportionate number of Triumphers on these forums had to do with hardcore forum types being disproportionately pantsless.

I picked Justice.  It sounded coolest.  :)

I thought Infinity had the coolest name, I would of chosen that server had my friend not already been playing on guardian. I don't regret being on guardian though, found a great SG to be apart of.

Almost every server was crazy in its own unique way, but Triumph seemed to be crazy in a very peculiar way in which trying to be crazy was penalized, but just straight up being crazy was rewarded.  I don't think its a coincidence that we appeared to have a higher than average percentage of forumites.

I was once on a task force where I looked around and realized myself, Stupid_Fanboy, and Golden Girl were all on the same team.  I remember thinking to myself that everyone else on that team should have gotten a badge for that.  What's more, it was an exceptionally unchatty team.  They should have gotten a master of badge for that.

The really crazy part is I didn't even realize that Arcana's home server was Triumph until the Really Hard Way attempts, despite having started there and it being home to my primary SG and badge character for years.

Not counting emoticons I assume.

When I started, I picked Triumph (Yep, another Triumphateer?  Triumphverate?  Triumphian?), I picked it, not because it was the top of the list...

I picked it because I could remember it:  Triumph, for the Insult Dog Comic.

I picked Virtue, because that's what I thought I had the least of...


Vee

If you had less virtue than you had infinity that's damned impressive.

Probably to my knowledge the most memorable personality on Triumph was Karl Rove Man. Also with HUB, you really didn't need a SG
