What sort of security update needs eight gigs of space?
"Get help" is right.
Windows updates, that's what sort. They have no respect for your hardware, budget, or time. It's always great when they force a restart without even giving you a chance to save your work, or when you're in the middle of a meeting.
It's to make up for their piss poor software and the fact that they have a major security vulrnability every other week.
My question isn't entirely facetious. Presumably a security update is a binary generated by compiling code. How much code would it take to generate an 8gb binary? What would that much code possibly be doing? Or are they including an enormous database of some sort? I assume they're not including video...
Having something like this happening in a business venue I owned would send me over the edge. That is actively interfering with the daily activities.
I was performing an exam on a patient with a USB linked device and the little fucker did this.
That was the last time I used a Windows computer in my practice.
I worked for a short time in the medical business and every single technician would spell the exact same rule: medical machines live off the web.
That meant no updates, no added software, nothing that was not stricktly relate with the function they had been built for.
It would be our necks if a machine did anything like you describe.
it's always the windows updates lmao
I'm honestly surprised that airports use Windows. I figured they used a custom OS for these boards.
Why would you not just use a raspberry pi or one of the even cheaper single board computers for digital signage? Especially when it's just a mostly static table with graphics that can probably be run on a Commodore 64?
