I have to admit I still have some legacy code that does that.
Then I found pandas. Life changed for the better.
Now I have lots if old code that I’ll update, “one day”.
However, even my old code, terrible as it is, does not overheat anything, and can process massively larger sets of data than 60,000 rows without any issue except poor efficiency.
Our work is the opposite. As soon as a new machine arrives we go straight to BIOS at boot, switch the settings and install Linux immediately. Windows never sees the light of day. I do feel for you as we do do sales calls and in the middle of sales calls the people that we are calling have their computers reboot on them, do an update, or I’ve just got to restart and on restart it does an update and huge amounts of time are wasted on those people.
Windows probably costs the world millions a day in wasted, for time for shit like that.
I have used OMV for years. Great system.
I remote in using zeroTier.
It’s installed on the OMV server, and I have it on all my devices.
That puts all my devices on a virtual “local network” so I can explore my shared folders, log into the OMV admin panel, etc, anywhere in the world.
Has been working beautifully for me, for years.
I hope that helps.
