6 days agoI have encountered a windows update that refused to install with a mysterious error code. After searching through the logs, I discovered it was refusing to proceed because it found an installer for an old version of the Netware client (that wasn’t installed) that it knew was incompatible, in a non-common directory (C:\PreviousHardDrive\Backups). It was searching the whole hard drive against a database of incompatible programs.

Check out AMSAT-OSCAR 7 – Closer to home, but launched in 1974, and still waking up when there’s sun to operate. It’s the oldest “operational” satellite still up there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMSAT-OSCAR_7
