Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    That is an MS Teams Room system in the conference room, it runs Windows IOT. Whoever manages those rooms should have set the working hours of the room so it didn’t apply this update during business hours. By default the system updates at 2 or 2:30 AM, I forget... so might be a weird MS bug or someone fudged up a config

    Source - installed a lot of these a few years ago.

    Oh god, Windows IoT is the real-time version used for robots in the medical industry or serious stuff. This is overkill.

    Windows IoT can be configured into a soft-realtime (realtimey-wimey). Disabling audio is one of the steps, so I doubt it's rtos mode for teams.

    IoTs target market is companies reselling an appliance that runs on windows. So a Teams Room appliance is a perfect use-case for IoT

    I've always set windows to update around late hours.

    But once in a while, Microsoft ignores that and does updates anyways. Usually just a quick min or two. But it's still annoying.

    Probably Windows default is just Pacific Time.
