Lauren Weinstein on Nostr: I spent today bringing three #Windows 10 systems up to the current #Microsoft upgrade ...
I spent today bringing three #Windows 10 systems up to the current #Microsoft upgrade level -- these are all used with specialized hardware. Even though two of them are used relatively regularly, it still took about 5 hours for each to upgrade. A laptop that hadn't been used for a year has taken 6 hours so far, but I think it may be getting close to the end.
An entire new programming language, OS, and novel new architecture computer hardware design could be created faster.
Microsoft is giving the heat death of the universe a run for its money.
