I rewatched Wall-E the other day. I forgot just how staggeringly good that movie is. How the hell does every single robot have their own personality. Not to mention how everyone that Wall-E interacts with ends up for the better, after a lil chaos, of course. I cried so many times. I'm 33.
Not only that, Wall-E got crushed and was able to be rebuilt and booted up like nothing ever happened.
Wall-E functioned
He was definitely not running windows
Yeah, he had the mac boot up noise lol
The pre cloud OG Mac boot up sound. Eve is more like an IPhone. Sleek white and locked down but great when it’s connected and working.
Anyone else have an older Mac still ticking away? I have a 2007 20” that’s only had an HD->SSD upgrade and is still good for email file and printer serving and remote backups to FireWire and usb HDs.
I’ve got an old 8 core Mac Pro (the perforated giant aluminum one) too, but haven’t bothered booting it in 6-7 years. It was my render farm for Keyshot for years but I think one of the Ram modules failed at some point.
Clearly Linux
BSD even, he can't do a lot of things but god damnit he does the things he can do well
Yeah but all of the other Wall-Es were left broken by a mandatory Tuesday Windows Update
Can relate, Wall-E is easily my favorite Pixar movie
Untill I saw UP. I just broke at that first scene. It's just such a fantastic tale about life and the journey it is.
Up, wall-e, Toy story 1-3 are Pixar prime.
My kid used to watch it over and over between 3-5 years old. Finally asked him why he liked it, his response was " because you like it".
Well? Did you like it?
Of course! Was just nice he was thinking of someone other than himself and chose based on that.
The difference between wall-e and eve makes me think of cars. How old and even some modern combustion cars are built well and engineered to be highly modular and user serviceable. EVs are highly proprietary. They rely on closed systems that can’t practically be serviced without special equipment.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m NOT a fan of fossil fuels at all. I just don’t like how cars have been slowly morphing into proprietary unreliable cellphone-like commodities, or how the push towards EVs seems to be accelerating that trend.
A modern high-end BMW can have over a hundred separate ECUs (microcontrollers). All communicating over multiple CAN and FlexRay networks. The complexity is mind boggling, just so you can have subscription based seat heating and other nonsense.
No technician on Earth will be able to debug this black box spaghetti except the manufacturer. If you try to access/reprogram one of these chips (as you should be able as you OWN the damn thing), the microcontroller has OTP (one time programmable) memory that ensures the device can physically brick itself should you try.

I do not share such faith in the manufacturer that made the black box spaghetti.
Windows PC or Linux PC? Cause Windows PC aint gonna run shit with the build quality of the hardware and OS of the average PC.
I can almost guarantee you the oldest running windows PC is older than the oldest running linux PC due to software that can't be re-compiled and brought to newer hardware/OS. Think hospitals, factories, etc.. Granted, this argument does not really work in favor of windows.
Banks are still running Cobol programs written by Jesus on punchcards. But it's not the same use case, Linux is mostly running on servers without a UI.
written by Jesus on punchcards
I just want to say thank you for that line, it's beautiful. I'm absolutely going to steal it.
I mean yeah probably, someone somewhere has a PC-AT with MS-DOS and Windows 1 dating from the 80's somewhere, while the first release of Linux was in what? 92? Somebody like LGR or Tech Tangents very likely has some old hardware running period software for history enthusiast reasons.
But let's play this game: What is the oldest hardware currently in service running a currently supported edition of Windows, versus the oldest hardware currently in service running a currently supported edition of Linux?
Walle had the Apple startup chime when he recharged
Apple 2 vs. MacBook
Early-2000s PowerMac vs. MacBook
Steve Jobs was involved in Pixar Animation Studio
True. It was also an extremely commercialized capitalist dystopian future. I doubt Linux was being used, and there’s no way Microsoft could create something with WALL-E’s long uptime and low maintenance.
I think Wall-E wasn't running the base OS anymore. All the other Wall-E units had long since stopped functioning. Wall-E was the result of a random mutation of a bug in the code, not the intended normal state.
Companies taking advantage of Linux to create locked down, proprietary systems is pretty common. For example, Android is Linux. Many smart TVs run some flavor of Linux. E.g. Tizen from Samsung is Linux based. If a company can short cut the software development process and licensing costs by using Linux, that's often a first choice. So, my bet would be on Wall-E running on a version of Linux.
The dystopian part would be that the company locked it's drivers behind a closed source model, and only included highly obscured binaries on Wall-E's OS. Motors and controllers would be non-standard, requiring closed source firmware and the hardware would refuse to work with any software which isn't signed by an original manufacturer's digital certificate. Using an unsigned binary would blow a fuse in Wall-E's CPU, killing him.
Walle took 800 years and still hadn't finished its task. Eve took 12 hrs
You sound like one of my PMs. "Klugerama, your coworker was able to resolve a UI issue in just 3 days, why did it take you over 3 weeks to convert 50k lines of code from C# to Java?"
"Klugerama, we have tried the carrot, it is now time for the stick!"
Eve just fucked around blowing up shit. Like everything Apple.
Wall-e tried to clean the world.
Wall-e was a single unit carrying on the task of thousands (tens, hundreds of thousands? We don't know if others were still functioning or we're global). He was doing the task he was built for. EVE's task was completely different - visit the planet every so often and search for the sustainability of life. She did that as per her programming. Different tasks.
Not to mention WALL-E was the one to show EVE the plant so he helped with that job too
Basically old vs modern PCs. Try to make a CPU from '98 render a 4k video lol.
Eve took 12 hrs
Wall-E completed the task for Eve tho
I wonder if apple is outsourcing it's AI computing power to linux servers
The irony is that before M1, while they were on x86, Apple computers were not that different than the rest besides having special motherboards and funky firmware. Even ARM now isn't proprietary tech, it just isn't adopted by the others (yet). All in all it's an artificial distinction so that some people can be separated from their money.
Linux PC of course.
Ayy, recently rewatched that too. Personal headcannon: a better ending would have been a montage of Eva teaching an amnesiac Wall-E all the things he taught her and have him fall in love with those things and her again in the process. Probably more drawn out than "random electric spark magically resets memory" though
she finds a service panel behind which there's a big button labelled "restore backup"
