It's the most infuriating and useless version of Windows I've ever used.

and for context I've recreationally run Windows ME before. My autobiography is being written on Windows 95.

It's my roommate's Surface Hub. It's a 3 or 2S, we're not 100% sure yet.

oh and it uses a tiling window manager.

here's a video showing the UI:

and when you're using the recovery tool, you have to stay in the room

cause it'll go to sleep if there aren't any people in the room, and that'll interrupt the download

the manual update says you should get two 32gb flash drives.

the first drive will have the Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows (an environment built on Windows 11 IoT) recovery ISO

and the other 32gb flash drive will contain a 3 kilobyte certificate file

okay I was wrong, it doesn't just need a 3kb certificate file, you have to use another app to build a DFI update image from that.

so it needs a 15kb file

"If the device was unplugged or experienced an abrupt power outage or pulled power cord, wait at least 15 seconds before attempting to boot from USB."

what?
