Of course I noticed.
It was right before I installed a new OS.
Yeah, wouldn’t installing a new OS be the most common scenario in which one would “turn off [OS] for the last time”?
Leave OP be, they just yeet their machine outta window and buy a new one.
Why do you think MS advises to do that for Win 10?
ROFL. I still manage a critical system that cannot be moved from XP.
That day, for me, is in the far future.
Healthcare, banking, or military?
Auto manufacturing.
I used to work at a candy factory where most of the machines that made the packaging were from the '50’s or earlier, but had been Frankenstein’d with all sorts of modern sensors and stuff to maximize efficiency. Anyways, there was this one one machine that was fascinating. It was from the 30’s I believe but all it did was make small boxes from flat paper stock and it was originally designed to be hand loaded, but they had this robot arm set up that looked like the one in the OG Jurassic Park movie that flipped the eggs basically handing it paper. The arm was controlled by a dusty ass Windows 95 PC that had one job, the robot arm program. This was like 4 years ago.
I used windows XP today because the phase noise analyzer at work runs on it.
We’re not allowed to connect it to the network, though.
What are you talking about? Of course I noticed. It was during the upgrade process to Vista. Then the last time I turned that off was when I fully switched to Linux.
