					<description><![CDATA[Tools I Find Useful: Windows Update Blocker &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;A while back I pointed out how to prevent Windows 10 from updating itself. While that method does work, I&#8217;ve found a simpler one: Windows Update Blocker. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;To use this, unzip and run. Select &#8216;Disable Updates&#8217; and &#8216;Apply Now&#8217;.

					<description><![CDATA[How to Update a Website, HTML based &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Creating a website is different from updating one that already exists. Both are doable, but updating is simpler. In this post I&#8217;ll go over how to update a site that doesn&#8217;t use a CMS. Just standard HTML (although PHP would be fine too). &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;I&#8217;m assuming the computer the &#8230; <a href="https://drat.dannybassette.com/2020/03/how-to-update-a-website-html-based/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">How to Update a Website, HTML based</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img src="https://dannybassette.com/pahc/piwik.php?idsite=3&amp;rec=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrat.dannybassette.com%2F2020%2F03%2Fhow-to-update-a-website-html-based%2F&amp;action_name=How+to+Update+a+Website%2C+HTML+based&amp;urlref=https%3A%2F%2Fdrat.dannybassette.com%2Ffeed%2F" style="border:0;width:0;height:0" width="0" height="0" alt="" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Windows 10: Preventing Forced Updates &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;While I can understand why Microsoft would force updates, it can easily clash with the owner of a device being able to actually use their device. Thus it can be useful to prevent updates from happening at all. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Having tried a variety of methods to control updates, the only effective &#8230; <a href="https://drat.dannybassette.com/2019/06/windows-10-preventing-forced-updates/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Windows 10: Preventing Forced Updates</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img src="https://dannybassette.com/pahc/piwik.php?idsite=3&amp;rec=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrat.dannybassette.com%2F2019%2F06%2Fwindows-10-preventing-forced-updates%2F&amp;action_name=Windows+10%3A+Preventing+Forced+Updates&amp;urlref=https%3A%2F%2Fdrat.dannybassette.com%2Ffeed%2F" style="border:0;width:0;height:0" width="0" height="0" alt="" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;The Windows 10 Update system is broken, from a design standpoint. It denies the user proper use and control of their computer. This is (mostly) fine for an entertainment device, but unacceptable for a business tool. &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;At times, I help people with their computers.
