    @ldcd@social.treehouse.systems the industry by and large has stopped creating new instances of this but there are still so many lying around, and only so many companies willing to pay someone to port devices already in the field to embedded linux/xenomai or what have you in any case, my condolences :(

    @ldcd@social.treehouse.systems We have a lab instrument controlled by a closed source windows application. Windows updates were "paused" every way we knew how to, but each time they still occurred and ruined many weeks-long experiments and destroyed many very expensive samples. Now the network cable stays unplugged during experiments, which (annoyingly) stops us from monitoring it remotely.

    @ldcd@social.treehouse.systems Or a PPMS with cryogenic cooling and the field over 7T…

    @ldcd@social.treehouse.systems I just hope it isn't superconducting.
