Comment on Why I’m So Desperate for the Return of Microsoft Word to Our Prison Library
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days agoDoes OnlyOffice run on Swintec typewriters? How many people are going all-in on not reading the article today?
reading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn’t the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?
The typewriter obviously wouldn’t have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user’s input?
If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM’s Bundling
There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.

alright it’s worse than I thought, having to use that and only that means you’re gigafucked

You’re not completely wrong, as they also have thin clients which should be technically capable of running a word processor. It’s just a question of whether the prison is going to implement that no/low-cost solution.
