Booted up to the dreaded "don't turn off your computer, we are busy screwing it up" message. This was followed up by a large representation of the command prompt... eg: black screen. Nothing worked but task manager, who was not very busy. 
After 3 reboots and a copious amount of 4 letter words, it is (almost) back to normal. Until we meet again. Fortunately, virtual machines are easy to back up. But then MS would just update it again.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. <sigh>
Thanks for ignoring

Thought of the hour:
Ubuntu consider alternatives sooner or later.

Thanks, I actually run Windows only via VM, main OS is Mint (derivative of Ubuntu).
Clients still mostly W7, which isn't much better (if at all).

So you encounter problems when running Windows on top of Mint, while literally hundreds of millions of people have no problems when they do NOT run on top of Mint but on real hardware.
Then it MUST be the fault of Windows, not behaving the way Mint requires! That should obvious to anyone. Linux behaviour is an axiom that lies there as a basic foundation that cannot be questioned or challenged. By definition, it cannot have weaknesses: It is stated, not proved. Like the digit 1 - it simply is. Unarguable. The error is, by definition in the use of that digit. So it is with Linux: The error is not in Linux but in the use of it.

Except I've had no issues with Windows 10, updates or otherwise, but when I used Ubuntu last year, it was endless pain. (Early last year I installed Fedora on a system--vs VM--only to have it brick the system, which was odd since I've never had a single issue with it in VirtualBox [on the same system and others].)

To the rest of us, I believe that's akin to walking under a tree full of pigeons.

You are quite nasty. A lot of pigeons will be offended.

That's an insult to Pigeons everywhere! Prepare to be bombarded to birds!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Still sounds better than having to own a Win10 system.

Not so much content for an article. Has he considered posting it as a tip instead?

way too much for a tip.
I wish more articles were about that long.

Maybe a tip in two parts:
Part 1: from text to binary
Part 2: from binary to text
Next week: how to effectively use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V while developping. We can't wait...

I think they should add a CNR function (Convert Roman Numeral).
I use that all the time..

Thank you for sharing this.
But I'm a bit confused. The caption on that page says "Translate Binary to Text" and so does the link.
You probably wanted to link to Translating Text to Binary[^].
But wait, both pages contain the same text (besides the caption)

I think the first sentence tells you everything you need to know; or not.

Good article, at least if your day job involves flipping burgers. Please tell me he has nothing to do with programming of any kind. Not even 'programming' an oldschool VHS.
