Do you have root?
If you do and have no problem messing up with system files, put the update servers to /etc/hosts file

One option may be to use a custom DNS on the switch which blocks updates.

Rooting can have it's downsides e.g. some apps are blocked or are difficult e.g. sky go.

Blacklist sites in hosts file, adblockers like Adaway use host file to block ads.
You must be rooted tho, but it will block updates.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
