crazzy88ss Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 PC uptime? Less than 3 days. When I used a PC as my main computer, I always turned it off instead of sleeping. OSX uptime? ~6 weeks. The only reason I restarted was to install a system update.

waruikoohii Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 My P4's uptime with XP was 60 days. I had to reboot it for updates. My P4's uptime with Vista SP1 is currently 32 days and counting.

TruckWEB Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 My PC is on 24/7, and Vista x64 has been good to me, never crashed. The last time I rebooted was after the installation of SP1.

Sethos Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 48 Hours I think, but that's because I was downloading. I don't see why it should be running constantly, draining power and doing nothing.

Brian M. Veteran Posted May 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2008 My old P2 print server had nearly 2 years uptime. Only crashed once, and I was able to recover it by SSH'ing into it and killing a rogue process. It must've survived a fair few power cuts and physical moves too (a P2 doesn't put much strain on a UPS designed for a P4 :p). Shame it's been made redundant by my new printer. Edit - just powered it up again and the never-updated installation of Vector Linux still works :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636246-whats-the-longest-pc-uptime-youve-ever-had/page/2/#findComment-589409027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 uptime == Anyone who posts an uptime of a Windows Based box.. that is showing over 30 days is basically saying My system can be exploited. Since Microsoft has been releasing Criticals every 2nd Tuesday of the month for over a year now. So don't be proud of your high uptime, cause I'm going to root your box.

Drone Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Three years ago I had my old P3 667Mhz system running for 72 days straight until a power cut during a thunderstorm shut it off. I had it running as a general file dump and a torrent and printer server. The computer was 5 years old at the time. It still runs well today and even has the original 20Gb Seagate HD.

Since Microsoft has been releasing Criticals every 2nd Tuesday of the month for over a year now. So don't be proud of your high uptime, cause I'm going to root your box.While I think it is unwise to not update (and reboot to apply, if necessary) your system, it is absurd to say you can be rooted if your uptime is over 30 days old. Not all patches involve exploits that are remote Even if the exploit is remote, it may not involve a system level compromise Even the remote/system exploits may rely on other factors, like use of the Microsoft JET engine or such. And finally, those are only known/patched vulnerabilities. So, at any time, any system could potentially be compromised by a non-public exploit. That totally removes significance to the "30 day" rule. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/636246-whats-the-longest-pc-uptime-youve-ever-had/page/2/#findComment-589409147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
