There’s a scene in Space Force where a flight controller can’t do something crucial because of a forced Windows update. I remember thinking “this is such a silly, cheap gag, there’s no way a space organization would use Microsoft”.
We had some stuff at work that was XP until the machines started dying. They were not sure how to get around it but one option was XP in a VM.
Also we have internal websites that only work in IE Mode, because modern browsers don’t render them properly. Its annoying mostly because even though Edge has an IE Mode, and you can add exception, it CONSTANTLY nags about "don’t you want to use Edge? Or removes the exception with an “add back” option.
Like no Edge, it still does not render, why ard you so fucking extra about this, just render in IE mode.

Well. I stand corrected.
Wait till I tell you many nuclear power stations and submarines run ancient versions of windows for their control software
Imagine having a nuclear meltdown because of windows
I’ve worked in more than a couple factories and fabrication shops. Everything was on XP.
I’m not saying you can’t run infra with a couple of old dells plugged in that break prod when they are cut off.
We don’t talk about that.
I do think that modern manufacturing or even shipping logistics stuff having not been touched in twenty years is saying something.

Why won’t you fix those internal websites? I wouldn’t think it is that hard? It is just html and css isn’t it?
