Not only that, Wall-E got crushed and was able to be rebuilt and booted up like nothing ever happened.

Can relate, Wall-E is easily my favorite Pixar movie
Untill I saw UP. I just broke at that first scene. It's just such a fantastic tale about life and the journey it is.
Up, wall-e, Toy story 1-3 are Pixar prime.
Wall-E was my whole personality as a child.
As a child? In my perception the movie just came out.. wait... Breaks down for being old
That's about the time I started building my MP4 collection... Which is up to at least 2TB by now, if not 3...
Y'all seen they movie circuit? Older set it films but Darling for practical effects and animatronic robots
Need more input to decipher
I think OP is talking about Short Circuit. OP also may be having a stroke, be suffering from dementia, or have snorted Benadryl.
I thoroughly enjoyed short circuit 2 more than the first as a kid, but they are both great.
Windows PC or Linux PC? Cause Windows PC aint gonna run shit with the build quality of the hardware and OS of the average PC.
I can almost guarantee you the oldest running windows PC is older than the oldest running linux PC due to software that can't be re-compiled and brought to newer hardware/OS. Think hospitals, factories, etc.. Granted, this argument does not really work in favor of windows.
I mean yeah probably, someone somewhere has a PC-AT with MS-DOS and Windows 1 dating from the 80's somewhere, while the first release of Linux was in what? 92? Somebody like LGR or Tech Tangents very likely has some old hardware running period software for history enthusiast reasons.
But let's play this game: What is the oldest hardware currently in service running a currently supported edition of Windows, versus the oldest hardware currently in service running a currently supported edition of Linux?
Banks are still running Cobol programs written by Jesus on punchcards. But it's not the same use case, Linux is mostly running on servers without a UI.
written by Jesus on punchcards
I just want to say thank you for that line, it's beautiful. I'm absolutely going to steal it.
But is it really Window's fault when a software vendor decides not to support a newer Windows version, or a manager thinks cutting costs by not renewing a support contract is a great idea? I've seen plenty of software fail to compile on Linux because of, for example, slightly newer (or older) glibc versions being present. It's not as if using Linux means software will magically run on every version out there.
That is the problem which containers initially were to tackle. Before I always ran into the issue that two programs need two different versions of a library.

Wall-E functioned
He was definitely not running windows
Yeah but all of the other Wall-Es were left broken by a mandatory Tuesday Windows Update
Yeah, he had the mac boot up noise lol
The pre cloud OG Mac boot up sound. Eve is more like an IPhone. Sleek white and locked down but great when it’s connected and working.
Anyone else have an older Mac still ticking away? I have a 2007 20” that’s only had an HD->SSD upgrade and is still good for email file and printer serving and remote backups to FireWire and usb HDs.
I’ve got an old 8 core Mac Pro (the perforated giant aluminum one) too, but haven’t bothered booting it in 6-7 years. It was my render farm for Keyshot for years but I think one of the Ram modules failed at some point.

Clearly Linux
Walle took 800 years and still hadn't finished its task. Eve took 12 hrs
Eve just fucked around blowing up shit. Like everything Apple.
Wall-e tried to clean the world.
You sound like one of my PMs. "Klugerama, your coworker was able to resolve a UI issue in just 3 days, why did it take you over 3 weeks to convert 50k lines of code from C# to Java?"
"Klugerama, we have tried the carrot, it is now time for the stick!"
Eve took 12 hrs
Wall-E completed the task for Eve tho
I wonder if apple is outsourcing it's AI computing power to linux servers
Wall-e was a single unit carrying on the task of thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands? We don't know if others were still functioning or we're global). He was doing the task he was built for. EVE's task was completely different - visit the planet every so often and search for the sustainability of life. She did that as per her programming. Different tasks.
Not to mention WALL-E was the one to show EVE the plant so he helped with that job too
Basically old vs modern PCs. Try to make a CPU from '98 render a 4k video lol.

My kid used to watch it over and over between 3-5 years old. Finally asked him why he liked it, his response was " because you like it".
Well? Did you like it?
Of course! Was just nice he was thinking of someone other than himself and chose based on that.
The difference between wall-e and eve makes me think of cars. How old and even some modern combustion cars are built well and engineered to be highly modular and user serviceable. EVs are highly proprietary. They rely on closed systems that can’t practically be serviced without special equipment.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m NOT a fan of fossil fuels at all. I just don’t like how cars have been slowly morphing into proprietary unreliable cellphone-like commodities, or how the push towards EVs seems to be accelerating that trend.
A modern high-end BMW can have over a hundred separate ECUs (microcontrollers). All communicating over multiple CAN and FlexRay networks. The complexity is mind boggling, just so you can have subscription based seat heating and other nonsense.
No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer. If you try to access/reprogram one of these chips (as you should be able as you OWN the damn thing), the microcontroller has OTP (one time programmable) memory that ensures the device can physically brick itself should you try.

I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.
I do have faith that some random dude in Pakistan will figure out how to unlock a sensor using a paperclip and a 555 timer and will post it to YouTube.
If the person in the video is wearing flip flops and smoking, tends to be good info.

Linux PC of course.
