ive been using/managing/fixing computers and servers for 40+ years. from old AS400 to full on cloud bullshit. i can remember only a single time where boot time mattered… when microsofts DNS failures caused servers to take 15 minutes to boot… other than that there hasnt been a single time it has ever been a problem or discussed as an issue to be resolved.
so why the fuck is it constantly touted as some benefit!? it grinds my gears when i see anyone stating how fast their machine booted.
am i alone in this?
people will not reboot their workstations if it takes more than 2-3 minutes. becomes a pain when months of updates are pending and theyre bitching about having to reboot to fix their issues.
reboot workstations every 10 days or so people.
No.
Only reboot if
needs-rebootingsays so.no, my clients are windows users. if something feels off, restart and see if it fixes it. there’s so much shit happening in the background, something could have updated and either didn’t or failed to restart a service, now something else doesn’t work.
do you wait until your tires blow before replacing them? or preemptively when the tread is worn down too much?
