I guess, apart from the fact that the path string is invalid, there's another little problem. From the official Python docs:
os.remove(path, \, dir_fd=None)
Remove (delete) the file path. If path* is a directory, anOSErroris raised.
Not to mention something like “invalid escape sequence \W” would be thrown, since the backslashes are not escaped
This code isn’t valid the path backslashes mess it up. \W and \S. Also doesn’t work if not on Windows. Also what’s the pi for?
Invalid escape sequences work in python. In the past they silently worked, for several versions now they emit SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence "\W".
So this code actually works (just with warnings) because both \W and \S are not real escape sequences...
But if it was user folder? C:\Users\... - \U is valid, but "s" is not valid continuation. So it throws as exception instead: SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape
I've seen people not escape paths with silently working escape sequences. Like a folder/file starting with t, so it was \t in the path...
Interesting!
Running Windows on ARM
To be sure I would've used %WINDIR%\system32
\s is invalid and will error out.
We could always use ole reliable \
Edit: wrong slahes
This way it won't work. Although there is another way to actually do it, I don't remember it
What is "C:\Windows\System32"?
Is it somehow important? My computer doesn't have it and runs just fine.
it has "windows" in it, so maybe a part of X11? 🤔
It has "System32" in it, which is likely referencing ancient 32-bit machines. So must be very old.
As I've never seen it, maybe some parts of X10?
Ah...good old snark from when Linux was a challenger on the desktop.
(PS: You also need to ask what that "C:" is for on the filesystem name)
Don’t run Linux, still can’t find System32 in the Finder 🤷♂️
linux is more a challenger now than possibly ever before.
Whether Linux is a challenger was never up to Linux - Microsoft has always been a monopolistic criminal. (Yes - criminal - Federal judgement against them, ordered to divest, set aside by Bush the younger.)
How could I know that's a "filesystem name"? It doesn't even use path separators.
"Was" a challenger? Now I'm confused.
Linux is the only usable desktop system right now which doesn't contain spyware and doesn't break with every update.
Yes, it's better. Superior in every way that matters except one - it's not being pushed by a monopolistic anticompetitive company that sees its customers as cows to be milked. Any more (in the US, anyway) that's the only thing that determines who gets control of the market.
If lain still existed, would she use linux?
Swap RasPi memory card for Linux-image
If reality is just code, then deletion is just... freedom. Lain probably
A few months ago I was skimming through my professor's c++ code and found a delete os instruction. After a brief heart attack and trying to figure out what he was trying to do, it turned out he initialized a pointer to an ostream object, which he called "os", and then he diligently deallocated it in the destructor of the class that the code was implementing
Is this some Windows problem I'm too Arch to understand?
She smiled and suddenly I’m ready to roll a d6 for my life savings system32.
How many variations of this bad, old, overused joke are we going to see?
This is so far the cringiest one
this subreddit is about 99% recycled lame jokes
Honestly if you put Windows on a Raspberry Pi you deserve this
All I see is a badly written adware removal script.
Line 4 should clearly not be there.
Windows is not so bad,
... it is the baddest
