We should consider Newspeak. Consistent, terse, simple. Politicallty sound.
Esperanto is a second alternative, but it lacks several of the qualities of Newspeak. The major problem is that it is not English based.

So, du to my elephanting network, I have to restart the computer every Monday morning to get it to work after a long and hard weekend. I need the network, because my company has the weekly planning meeting via Teams on Monday mornings.
But Microsoft seems to insist on releasing Win 10 updates so that they HAVE to be installed monday morning if you restart your computer. And that of course takes a long time and you never actually know WHEN your computer will be ready.
So it's really a choice of pest or cholera for me.
Do I restart the computer and install the elephanting updates and risk not having the computer ready for the most inmportant meeting of the week?
Or do I refrain from restarting it and not being able to join the meeting anyway because my network is not working?
This morning when I opened my start menu to restart my computer, I noticed to my great joy that I had TWO menu items where I normally only have one. Namely "Update and restart" and merely "Restart".
In my naivety, I thought that Microsoft had FINALLY allowed me to just restart the computer and let me install the update at my OWN convenience, so naturally, I clicked the "Restart" only option.
And what happened: It restarted AND began the update all the same! And it took the better part of an hour! Sigh!
Rant over!

Mine is rebooted every day - it goes off at night - and it rarely updates when I turn it on. Maybe once a month (maybe less) it want's an "Update and Reboot" or "Update and Shutdown", but not more often than that.

Updates usually arrives on wednesdays (Tuesdays on the other side of the pond).
So if you restart your computer when you leave for home on Friday, you should be safe on monday.
Personally I shut down the computer everyday, and bring it home with me.

This. I always used a laptop so that I could work wherever, and it doubled as my personal computer. Working for an outfit that didn't allow this would be a non-starter unless they paid a ridiculous amount to compensate for the inconveniences.

You mean that you would actually ask them for permission???

Yes, because they'd have to provide a laptop and let me install my own software on it and take it off the premises. Or have me provide my own laptop, which would then have proprietary files on it. Not asking permission for this could get one into legal trouble.

I can relate. This morning, during boot up, it said something like "please wait". Then all my desktop and task manager icons were gone and my openvpn program whined that it couldn't find stuff. I have read about this condition and will have to pursue the fix. In the meantime, to get stuff done I reverted to a restore point. Now it can try again. Maybe it will see what I did and cripple restore points so as to make me recover. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
