I’ve always been surprised to find all the ATMs in my country run different versions of windows (XP, Vista, 7)
Like even from purely an accountant point of view, if you’re using some shitty proprietary software why wouldn’t you implement it in an OS that doesn’t require commercial licences???
Then again the entire software stack of any established financial institution is just spaghetti code and things held on with duct tape and prayers
Embedded systems are frequently Windows based. It’s always a little surprising. Also, it’s downright terrifying how many of those embedded systems rely on a version of Internet Explorer that’s been deprecated for 20 years.

Non-kiosk app crashed.
It’s a Jubilant thing. They’re the company that co-owns franchise restaurants of Dunkin, Domino’s and Popeyes in India, and they run stock Ubuntu on their devices and remote into a Windows based server for orders and billing using VNC.
I thought the white-on-blue symbol was the Arch logo based on the low-res thumbnail
/etc/init.dSee, even Boeing hates systemd!
It can’t be that this system predates systemd or anything…
They probably run something way too old for soystemd
Me with raspberry pis. Also complain when digital notice boards don’t use low power systems like the pi and use windows PCs instead when all they do is show picture slideshows.
And you know it’s some 8 year old Optiplex crammed in a corner somewhere just giving its all for that slideshow, absolutely choked with dust bunnies. Its survival somehow an exception to the rule.
I saw a display running Ubuntu on a Railway station and I get fucking amazed.
You won’t know which devices are running Linux because they’re all working and displaying what they should.
I think you mean Linux users whenever they see something that runs embedded Windows in public (because obviously it crashed)
An internet kiosk, for example, revealed itself with the cursor shape and scrollbar style. (I also saw it crash, confirming it was Linux Mint.) However, Windows does its own things:
Gasp, heresy.
I mean yeah makes sense
The kiosk actually crashes quite frequently but I think the software is OK, the underpowered hardware just keeps overheating.
Honestly? Yes.
Hahaha yep.
The pumps at buckees run Ubuntu I think.
It’s not Ubuntu but the fuel control systems and the pumps at Speedway run linux. They also boot really fast.
Michigan lotto terminals are also all linux.
So when I buy Beaver Nuggets, I’m practically giving money to Canonical?
Fuck.
Accurate
That pointing arms going to get tired.
Also, me any time a Mac appeared in movies in the 90s.
Yep, I used to do this, when I was in highschool, now I don’t think I found that many in the wild, perhaps I just don’t go out that often.
You come in public…
