Prevent automatic shutdown for update

Hello everyone

I run simulations on a workstation and sometimes have them run for multiple days straight.

I want to keep the Windows up to date, but only restart when I want specifically tell it to.

I have had it shutdown to install an update "outside of working hours" on me twice now. Resulting in many hours of simulation time being lost.

I can manually only set up to 18 hours a day as "working hours". And its automatic detection sets it from 00:00 to 12:00, so I that doesn't work either.

The only thing I can think of that would work will be to disable updates whenever I run long simulations. But knowing myself, ik will forget this at some point and again waste more time.

Are there any settings to allow full control over when to restart the system?

System:

OS: Windows 11 pro (25H2)

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950x

RAM: 128GB ECC DDR5 3400 MT/s

Gpu: RTX 2000 ADA

Replacing butter with oil eggs

I have been cooking 100% with stainless steel for some time now. At the start I struggled with eggs (like everyone)

Now I usually use butter as grease and that works perfectly. However, if I do the exact same things regarding temperature the eggs stick if I use oil instead.

What gives?

And with stick, I mean completely stuck, even with my thin fish spatula I can't get underneath.

Method:

2 room temperature eggs in a Demeyere silver 7 24cm.

Preheated to medium. ( quite a bit lower than what makes water droplets float, but the oil starts to shimmer just a bit. )

Plenty of oil, reduce heat to 3-10 after placing in the eggs.)

Works 100% of the time if I use butter.

Hi all,

I'm designing a 3 way speaker and am looking for some thoughts on the baffle layout.

Outside speaker dimensions are 750x400x350 mm (HxWxD) So the front baffle is 750x400. I will round the edges with a 18mm radius.

The crossovers will most likely end up around 300 and 4000 Hz. (I will design the crossover after measurements)

Which means that the woofer will have baffle step, but the positioning does not give jagged responses.

For both the tweeter and the midrange, placing them close to, but not on the center seems to give the smoothest response. (Which is also what theory suggests is the best)

The mid and high are also placed as closely together as they can be. (Only the thickness of the internal panels for the sealed mid range prevents closer placement.

However, I find it looks a bit funny. As if the speaker has a very big forehead or something.

Does anyone have an idea on how to make it look more balanced without sacrificing performance?

Sound quality is absolutely the priority, but if I can make it look better that's great!
