    I get updating the clock app, what I don’t get is why update it like this and why would it take so long that the user felt the need to complain? Also we are getting the update ready for you? So they’re stopping the user use the clock app while they download and prepare the update? Has updating the app even started yet?

      downloadUpdate();
      sleep(10000); // 10 seconds should be enough time for the buffer cache to finish writing to disk even on the slowest system.

          Your formatting convention is… terrifying.

            Eh I’ve seen much worse. At least it’s not:

            if (condition) 
            {
              doTheThing()
            } else
            {
              doNotDoTheThing()
            }
            

            For some reason I hate the brackets taking up a whole line it just looks terrible.

              I wasn’t talking about the braces, but about the spacing around operators.

                Oh yea that’s bad too, but to be fair, it’s a comment which is kind of a pain in the butt to format.

      Has the update process crashed completely?Or will I have to wait all this time again if I restart the process? With windows you eventually get used to not knowing these things.

      I think windows has a feature where it gets the update for other neighbors with windows. this might be why the extra lag.

      oooorrr… as EA says, “to give the user a sense of accomplishment” ~

        Ah yes, “My computer finally updated! I should feel grateful and lucky! I am blessed by the gods and I should reward myself with some dopamine!”
