      It makes sense. Updating the hardware is logical due to magnetic medium degradation. There’s no reason to run a current OS on a closed system. Features are irrelevant. It’s all about stability and security.

        If it still works, it means it’s robust, and if it manages to do its work properly then there is no reason to replace it with something unproven.

          Exactly right. Just ask anyone in commercial IT how much they love change for the sake of change.

        Please tell this to my employer who just “upgraded” the OS on our factory machines to windows 11.

        If they are smart with their money yes, if not they would have had to replace everything.

              No it isn’t. We would save over 40% of the money we currently spend on health insurance if we had a functioning healthcare system, rather than a leech based healthcare system. US citizens currently pay for everyone else’s healthcare, and the livelihoods of insurance leeches. We could spend even more on the military if we would implement a properly functioning healthcare system, but that wouldn’t make 4 people insanely rich to the point that even literal dragons would ask them why they needed to hoard that much. At least the dragons have a good reason to need all that gold.

                Yeah i know the issue is really corruption and uncapped cost of stuff like medicine and standard equipment, but its just fun to make fun of the US. And they definitely do spend too much money on their military.

                  To police the world so that your country doesn’t have to? I’m not big on this policy either, but you benefit from our spending , so your country doesn’t have to. You keep the red sea open to shipping, then.

        I can’t say for certain, but I can say that at least a few upstream O&G companies and at least one downstream O&G company was as of 4 years ago.
