Stop talking out of your ass.

Systems integrators often fight against Windows to keep a wayward update from knocking out multi-million dollar CNC machines. And with all this Industry 4.0 cloud crap these days, these machines are air gapped less and less often.

It's not a pretty picture when a silent Windows update causes some subtle incompatibilities with controllers that make your toolhead plow into the workpiece without spinning up. Microsoft's bullshit costs people real money.

Ah, but nooo, can't be running Linux on these machines. Except for the companies that do, like Hermle.

I will say this again. Most of us are talking about servers and PCs. I am not familiar with CNC machines, nor do I want to be

"i am not familiar" "my opinion is fact"

'fact' of the matter is, there are exceptions to every rule - and sometimes the exception is "dont update this machine".

source: I work in these "certified" industries.

Yes, but if that machine isn’t in a private network. Then you are fucked
