It also failed to install OneDrive. Perhaps because it’s a bus.

    “My bus crashed today” “Oh my god are you ok?” “Yeah, it just messed up a OneDrive Update”

      Hello! Technologically inept person here. Is there something wrong with using Administrator as the device/user name?

        Computers should never run day to day operations using an account with full administrative privileges and for Windows computers, the default full admin account is called Administrator. It’s not so bad on a personal device but for businesses and public facing computers it’s like asking someone to hack your computer. All anyone would need to do to compromise that system is plug in a keyboard and they could install remote control software or anything else they wanted. I hope that explanation helps!

    TIL the screens on a bus show a static html stored in a one drive directory. The gps location gets sent to an API which then updates the HTML file in the bucket. The screen just reloads itself every 10 seconds.

      Something that could be done with a minimal Linux installation. But by all means, pay for a bloated windows license.

        They probably didn’t and are using the OEM license on a mini PC.

        Yes, they are still paying for the license on the cost of the unit.

        Yes, it would be much cheaper to use a NUC or ARM board, but you can’t convince an administrator to stake their career on it.

        Besides, if they are running a domain, and all their resources are on a domain, why would they use non Windows devices.

          To avoid crap like what you see in the screenshot? 😆

            Well, the question was tongue in cheek. This error seems to be from one drive determining it was necessary to upgrade right now, even when Windows was out of date and not able to handle this version.

            The install shouldn’t have been allowed to run one drive and instead should pull updates from Wi-Fi/cellular on a scheduled task.

            The same thing could absolutely be done with FOSS. Improper setup in that circumstance may be even more interesting.
