@domi While it would be pretty cool if it was, I doubt it. That looks like a Microsoft Surface, especially with the pen design.
Show threadhexaheximalApr 7
@domi Also: I used to use a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 long ago and it looks identical to the device in that photo, which is why I say this.
Show threadPaul Wilde   Apr 8

@hexaheximal @domi yes, the personal computing devices are Surfaces
And of course they had the Outlook issues a few days ago so...Windows.

I remember when Debian went to space, when did that stop? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@paul

The #ISS went [from XP to Debian](https://www.silicon.co.uk/workspace/international-space-station-linux-abandons-windows-for-linux-debian-115869) in 2013 but it think #NASA reverted back to windows a few years ago.
IIRC the life support systems use neither and run on the Russian module whereas the US module uses #ada-based stuff for its core functions.

@me @domi considering they've been talking about Outlook not working (lol), and it's apparently a Surface, Windows 10 seems pretty likely.

Thinking about when Artemis was spun up that would all make sense, and one imagines NASA paid for extended support.

Show threadthe initra mfApr 8
still, I think it's pretty unusual to see Windoze 10 on an (I assume) modern Surface.
Show threadzbrownApr 8

@me depends what you consider โ€˜modernโ€™ I suppose, and this is almost certainly an enterprise managed deployment, so whatever shipped with whatever generation they are using (and I'd guess they probably aren't using the latest) is largely moot.

Sad it's not something more exciting, and less Microsoft, but for NASA's constraints this is probably reasonable :/

@domi According to NASA engineer Jason Hutt they're using old Windows tablets: "By using a device ISS was using, we would save money on certifying the hardware. โ€ฆ The operations software on the tablet was developed in Windows for ISS, so we needed a windows tablet."

I understand NASA aquired those devices in 2017 so I'd say that's Windows 10.
Jason Hutt (@jthutt.bsky.social)

By using a device ISS was using, we would save money on certifying the hardware. Every piece of equipment flown has to go through a series of testing. That testing takes time and money. The operations software on the tablet was developed in Windows for ISS, so we needed a windows tablet.

@domi Yes, NASA runs on KDE.

@domi and KDE is so proud of it it's in their own website https://kde.org/

But yeah they've ran KDE ever since KDE 3 iirc

KDE is an open community of friendly people who want to create a world in which everyone has control over their digital life and enjoys freedom and privacy.
