        Absolutely. The computers on Voyager hold the record for being the longest continuously running computer of all time.

      Microsoft can’t even release a fix for Window’s recovery partition being too small to stage updates. I had to do it myself, fucking amateurs.

        Can’t or won’t? The same issue exists for both windows 10 and 11, but they haven’t closed the ticket for windows 11… Typical bullshit. It’s not exactly planned obsolescence, but when a bug comes up like that they’re just gonna grab the opportunity to go “sry impossible, plz buy new products”

        Not to mention what a bitch that partition is when you need to shrink or increase the size of your windows partition. If you need to upgrade your storage, or resize to partition to make room for other operating systems, you have to follow like 20 steps of voodoo magic commands to do it.

          The possibility of a catastrophic fuck up is way too high to put this on the average Windows user.

      NASA should be in charge of Windows updates!

          Windows 13 update log:

          Change kernel to Linux.

          Build custom OS for astrophysics and space science applications.

          happy rocket engineer noises

            Now I’m curious. How would a NasaOS look like? Would it even be good for general use? Would they just focus on optimization? Could they finally beat Hannah Montana linux, the superior OS?

              I think it would have a real time kernel running parallel to a linux kernel.
              Users could interact with the linux kernel normally and schedule trusted real time tasks on the other. Maybe there is reduced security for added performance on those cores.

              In general use it would be a normal stable system with the allure of a performance mode that will break your system if you are not careful.

        Well, they only had to test it for a single hardware deployment. Windows has to be tested for millions if not billions of deployments. Say what you want, but Microsoft testers are god like.
