Does /g/ make use of their task scheduler, or similar automated scheduler for whatever fucking OS you use.
For me, I use it for a few things.
1. I have a task set to run each day that syncs the system clock on my HPTC to ensure the clock doesn't drift away from the real current time
2. I have a task scheduled to lock my encrypted drives once everyday.
3. I have a task to run at boot to start a program with elevated admin privs.
What do you use task scheduler for?
install gentoo
No, because I'm not a pedophile and/or an autist

>his clock drifts away
hahaha

Just because someone encrypts theirs drives doesn't make them a pedo you dumb fuck.
My drives are encrypted in case some fucktwat breaks into home and steals my PC.

On some of my Windows devices, I use it to start processes that refuse to start otherwise, and kill processes on shutdown that hang/freeze and cause that stupid "Waiting for programs to stop" screen to appear. Just fucking kill them already.

Using a task scheduler makes you a pedo?

being pedo makes you use a task scheduler

Does Windows not do this automatically? The fuck?
>>54994014
Of course it does. It's done so for decades. I don't know why OP feels the need to do it. He probably disabled the automatic NIST sync or something.
>>54994014
For me it doesn't, and when the time gets out of sync it really fucks with an HTPC since scheduled shows will not record on time.
I have no clue what might be the problem causing the time drift, but simply setting up a task to re-sync the clock daily works for now.

If you don't resync the time ever hour, you're doing it wrong.
You fucking cucks always let your clocks get off.
There's a reason you shouldn't go without an atomic watch.
>>54994057
it's because you didn't install a OS that would actually let you debug this shit
>>54994124
Nah, it's probably something fucked on my mobo. It's easier just to set a task to resync everyday than troubleshoot it.

>Mobo can't keep track of time
Please tell me you at least replaced the CMOS battery...
>>54994147
yes, just like housefires are caused by icecubes
>>54993791
Yes, I have a lisp script set to run every morning that runs through any screenshots I took the previous night and places them into appropriate directories based off the name of the series/movie/etc. name from the dilemma filename, creating it if necessary. I got tired of manually setting the screenshot directory every time I wanted to watch something else and take a screenshot.
