My 6th generation i7 processor desktop computer, generously equipped among other things with 16 gigs of fine and active memory, repeatedly insists on updating from Widows 1607 to Windows 1709. Each time, it pathetically fails, after having monopolized all its resources for about 40 minutes. It then brings forward a scary blue screen showing a sad face, which really is a mean one, pointing out that there has been a problem… It even adds that, maybe, if I happen to be lucky enough to fall in its good graces, then, only then, it could make my computer work again, just as it was before. Up to now, it has always decided to do so. However, I am not reassured.
The mean sad face also keeps telling me that it is sending information, somewhere, as an attempt to eventually find a solution. So far, it did not. As a matter of fact, I do not believe in the sincerity of the mean sad face. I suspect it only talks to another mean sad faces living in scary blue screens.
A citation, most probably wrongly attributed to Einstein, defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. To speak my computer’s language, I would say that it is insane, if not, stupid. For sure, it has become unreliable.
Here we go, again, for a third time, with my insane if not stupid computer, to the local computer repair shop (the two previous times were for other reasons). When I get there, I will have to look at least a little bit mad and frustrated. I tend to believe that this part will be easy.
Dreaming of the days when operating systems will do just that, operate.
