It’s not only commercial software.
We’ve come to expect more from our computers and as our processors gain more power we find ways to use it. I’m running things on a laptop that before would have required a workstation. I wanted to run an LLM on an old desktop, and 8GB RAM wasn’t enough.
True, but one of the biggest things we’re using that power for recently is “why bother optimizing?” With splashes of “can we obtain any more data from the user?”
Windows XP is more than halfway there. In case you wanted to feel old today.

Yeah, there aren’t many hackers in space.
That we know of
… Bruh!
Google would be the worst partner for any space related work. We plan on launching in 4 years. Oh, Google says they redesigned it, oh, now it needs updates. 3 years, 11 mo later… Google cancelled the program, we need to find another partner.
October 20st, 2023: NASA’s Voyager Team Focuses on Software Patch, Thrusters
The team is also uploading a software patch to prevent the recurrence of a glitch that arose on Voyager 1 last year. Engineers resolved the glitch, and the patch is intended to prevent the issue from occurring again in Voyager 1 or arising in its twin, Voyager 2.
…
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have traveled more than 15 billion and 12 billion miles from Earth, respectively. At those distances, the patch instructions will take over 18 hours to travel to the spacecraft. Because of the spacecraft’s age and the communication lag time, there’s some risk the patch could overwrite essential code or have other unintended effects on the spacecraft. To reduce those risks, the team has spent months writing, reviewing, and checking the code. As an added safety precaution, Voyager 2 will receive the patch first and serve as a testbed for its twin. Voyager 1 is farther from Earth than any other spacecraft, making its data more valuable.
test in production taken to whole another level
That’s impressive, but in the end there is only one question:
Can it run Crysis?
I thought the benchmark was whether it can play Doom?
No, everything can run Doom.
Except ur mom because she’s so fat she can’t run.
Sorry, a joke from the Doom era escaped…
Her pacemaker can run it though
If this computer from the 1950s can play DOOM, I’m gonna say there’s a good chance the Voyager computer can: https://youtu.be/no0CkQk7id0
Dude! This is rad!
I thought I’d just check it out and move on, but the subject, aspects and video editing pulled me in more. Solid video share! =D
Now.
Nothing can run Crysis properly…
Real crisis has never been tried before
What about Deep Blue?
Voyager 3 will stop working halfway to Mars because it’ll try to verify the subscription status with us-east-1 and get a timeout.
And it’ll blow up half way into the sky because it was sent up by SpaceX.
Ok but what about the shareholders?
No they’re still on Earth actually, though they’re running on software written in the 50s
“Space billionaires”
Amazon not mentioned because they’re down
Don’t let Microsoft get a pass azure went down last week too
It’s always DNS
but can it run out of the solar system?
It already did. Many times.
sus
Agree, hard to run with no legs in a vacuum.
I wonder if any aliens ever ran into this, if they’d be like wow, this tech is so low, let’s not bother with who sent it.
Or if they’d be like, it looks like it took 100 years to get here, let’s see what they did in 100 years.
They’d discover humanity peaked in 1999 and decide it is best to just leave us alone.
It was about that time when progress was abandoned for profit. We’ve been swirling down ever since.
Yea but can you imagine how long that thing takes to load a JPEG?
I really it would be working if it had newer hardware or software.
