I have a Lenovo ARM Windows machine and I needed an SSH client on it. Since OpenSSH has been available as a Windows component for years I figured I'd just install that. After all, why not? It will be auto-updated and is already integrated with the rest of the OS, what could go wrong. Hah.

It's been 50 minutes friends. FIFTY FUCKING MINUTES. And it's not done yet. Installing it is taking forever. The CPU has been between 30 and 50% load for the entire time. It's done several gigabytes worth of I/O. I have no idea what tf it's doing but it's not installed yet. This is a few megabytes worth of code. Almost one fucking hour and it's not done yet.

The process called "Windows Modules Installer" could be mining Bitcoin or training an LLM for what I know. What the fuck could be taking so long?

Now the bar is full. It's been full for like 5 minutes and it's not finished yet. It's fucking with me right? This can't be real.

I'm going out to get some pizza. I swear that if it's not done by the time I come back I'll throw this thing out of the Window. I'd wipe it and install Linux instead but I need it to test Firefox ARM/Windows builds so I can't do that.

OK, it's done now. But seriously, think about this for a sec. It took like 90 minutes to install a piece of software which is listed as taking 7,04 MB of storage... and what are Microsoft's executives doing? LeT's pUT AI iNto nOtEpad

Also this is like 1,3 KiB/s. IIRC a floppy disk was faster than this.
