ur post abt computer errors made me think abt my work, where we have a win 7 computer (yes) that runs all the phones, and for a while it didnt have enough memory to boot properly or load the program for the phone people to backdoor in to help me with something (tbclear im NOT IT i can just open menus and google), and every time i deleted shit it would fill back up to 0mb free space. and frm my memory (this was a year ago now) its bc the error log would make files abt errors, which were TOO BIG for the compression type thats built into win7, so the uncompressed error log would a) take up space b) generate more and more also-uncompressed error logs About the existing uncompressed log until the disc was entirely full. i had to delete the entire error log history, every file with a certain extension, and restart like 5 essential background processes in cmd. it was. an experience.

a similar issue happened on a computer also running win7 that no one had ever installed an essential patch we needed to be able to use our stupid fucking firewall we have to use to be able to use our inventory program (which, even so, last time i updated the antivirus someone from the program company had to remotely babysit the installation to individually greenlight update packages past the firewall, which was flagging them as viruses -_-), so every few seconds windows defender would ping windows update about the antivirus being out of date, and win update would try and fail to update it without the patch. the computer had 6 digits of whatever category is down from critical in the error log every week.

Honestly you're doing pretty good if your work phones run on something as new as Windows 7. I shall not name names but there are organizations that to my direct, personal knowledge have to routinely buy replacement parts on eBay for machines like a Sun UltraSparc 3 because the damn server is the only thing that can still run the driver software that drives the motors in large expensive scientific equipment. And if you learn COBOL the sheer amount of legacy payroll and accounting software still in use in major corporations will have you set for life.

Back in 2010 I started playing the original Deus Ex and ran into a fun problem where I couldn’t save the game because my machine had a 4-disk 2.7 TB RAID and Deus Ex is a game from the distant mists of 2000, a time in which a >2 TB disk volume was not just unlikely but actively impossible in Windows. So when I tried to save its disk space check overflowed and thought I had negative 2 TB of space and no joke I had to make a 400 GB text file of the letter 'a' to bring my free space under 2 TB just so I could play the game.
