The event I’m referring to wasn’t OP’s photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.
Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn’t have admin access.
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.

If no one eats nuts, we’ll all (eventually) be overwhelmed by ever-growing piles of uneaten nuts. Then people with but allergies will really be in trouble.
Therefore anyone who can safely eat nuts has a moral obligation to do so. q.e.d.

Vulcan science academy: Why do you need another warp core?
Humans: We’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast.
VSA: Last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast.

Time travel. Since my first day on Lemmy I swore I’d never let myself get caught in one of these godforsaken paradoxes - the future is the past, the past is the future, it all gives me a headache.
Excuse me, but the dates don’t check out. The space shuttle Enterprise was built in 1976. The starship Enterprise (NX-01) wasn’t built until 2151.
Voicemail was a mistake. I wish more services would let me disable it completely.
