    That’s even worse. A an almost literal in-house driveby. It’s not bloody hard to see potential problems.

    This computer has a strange doo-hickey poking out of it that I know nothing about. Maybe I shouldn’t just slap a new OS on it. Nah fuck it. Need to meet planned quota. Send it and run lol.

    There’s a reason our PCB pick’n’place machines run Windows XP. And why that ‘Y2K compliant’ lathe over there is rocking '98. And why that tyre balancing machine at the shop over the road is in the same boat.
