That's...not saying a whole lot. That's like saying it's the least destructive Michael Bay film, or the most scientifically accurate Star Trek film.

Whilst it is possible that in that length of time, Kyle could have rolled the required DC, it is also entirely possible for him to fail catastrophically. Additionally, no amount of time would make a program that's very language restricts logic structures to infinite loops and has an entire decade's worth of music any more efficient. As for the void information, Kyle would either have been given all the necessary information, thus giving him plenty of knowledge of the void, possibly more than even Ashley, or, he would have had to have rolled a 100. Whilst it is only a matter of time given how long he had, he could have equally likely rolled a 1 first which would have presumably broken the laptop.

Who said the portal was connected to the void?

I was assuming it was void-based. If it isn't, then he still needs information about it.

Though, what if the properties of the portal that sent them back home are similar to the light door and just erase their memory of the information given to them.
And besides, it's an AI. Usually AIs can analyze how something works once their attached to it, correct?

What type of AI are we talking here? The modern type of AI or the 'fully sentient computer program' type AI?s

No they cannot. AI can't do that. AI are still very much confined to their hardware, because at the end of the day, they're still software at the mercy of hardware. Kyle's suit OS was programmed specifically for his armor.

The closest things to AI in this setting are Anne and Wheatley who aren't remotely related to them in origin, they're more like beings that interact with the world through distortions and programs that contain a specific function.

I meant like... futuristic AIs, Emp. Not modern day.
So, imagine a 'dumb' AI from the Halo series.

Oh dear lord he'd be coding for decades before he got anywhere.

That's assuming Kyle has any idea how to code them. Assuming of course they can even be coded. After all, coding involves making instructions that are then translated into machine code that gives orders to the hardware, it is highly unlikely to do that on a simple laptop, especially considering that the code in question is based entirely on infinite loops.

Okay, not entirely coded by Kyle. A small bit, sure. But not an ENTIRE AI.
...
Then I realized how late it was.
Anyways, just try not to think about it too much. It's just a small little thing that doesn't need to be looked too much upon.

Well not really, it is quite significant considering that generally, finding the holy grail of an entire branch of computer science is quite significant, especially if that becomes publicly known. There are other issues, namely, the sheer amount of storage and processing power required.

Except he didn't use any. What he did is to computer science is what curing cancer safely via flaming-chainsaw assisted bloodletting is to medicine.
