Computer. Shouldn't have said "machine" since that indicates some physical structure to it.
My argument is that, outside of time, God is mindless, no different from a computer (referring to software here) with infinite necessary information to solve all problems and run all tasks.
The implication is that, even disregarding the absurdity of a timeless entity moving into time (or creating time), God is nothing more than a computer software that just happens to not be bound by space and time.
So if you are talking about describing God in his timeless state, all of his attributes still apply but he is changeless. Not changing. You seem to think that there is a period where God is dormant. There is no period. This state passed away, as a whole, at the moment of creation.
If you want to draw a parallel with your computer it is only because you have arranged the comparison to have two common attributes: infinite amounts of information and a changeless state. That is where the comparison stops but each of those things would have other properties you cannot ignore for your point.
