New ones probably use something newer. The 20 year old elevator in a hospital will only be upgraded if something breaks.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 days ago:
We are far away from the release of the Raspberry Pi if that screen is running an early version of Windows CE. Putting a PC in the elevator to drive the screen was probably the most cost effective solution.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 days ago:
Yes? That is not that unusual and it is mentioned in the third sentence of the article.
I rode up to the 14th floor, my eyes were drawn to a screen built into the side of the lift.
- Comment on Still booting after all these years: The people stuck using ancient Windows computers 2 days ago:
It’s probably only the screen component that is running an old version of embedded windows.

Its Lunduke, a self-proclaimed a-political tech journalist. You can pretty much disregard anything that spews from his mouth.
- Comment on OG Guild Wars sees an all-new Steam concurrency high during its anniversary celebration | Massively Overpowered 4 weeks ago:
I think even a relaunch with only the first campaign at the start could revitalize the community. I’d wager there are plenty of people who would want to relive the glory days of Guild Wars 1.
- Comment on OG Guild Wars sees an all-new Steam concurrency high during its anniversary celebration | Massively Overpowered 4 weeks ago:
There seems to be a market for classic mmorpgs. I wonder why Guild Wars didn’t already receive the Wow Classic treatment.

There is the unfortunately abandoned MorroUI.
- Comment on The good old days 5 weeks ago:
If you really do, blend the dried leaves from multiple plants. The psychoactive ingredients can be unevenly distributed throughout the plant. This means that you could unintentionally overdose without changing the amount you take.
- Comment on The good old days 5 weeks ago:
Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a very unpleasant horror trip if you consume to much of it.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 1 month ago:
That isn’t really an issue as PebbleOS is open source.
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 2 months ago:
You make it sound like a huge conspiracy but there are laws and regulations around everything you try to sell, especially for electronics.
You also have to do EMF radiation testing, ensure that your printer doesn’t produce toxic aerosols or fumes, and probably a bunch of other things to prove that your product is safe. I don’t see why the fingerprinting isn’t just another thing on the list of things you have to do to be in compliance with the rules. If your company is capable of producing something as complex as a printer, encoding the device’ serial number into a bunch of yellow microdots that you add to the printout shouldn’t be an issue.

Stay vigilant. Content about “Political correctness gone mad!” is step one of the alt-right pipeline.

- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 2 months ago:
Obsidian stores the notes in a well known plaintext format on your computer. They can’t easily hold you hostage like with other closed source apps.

- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 3 months ago:
It has only three letters and its on the .com top-level domain. That’s it.
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 3 months ago:
So this is a man-in-the-middle attack waiting to happen isn’t it? Buy the domain, setup a reverse proxy that points to the original hexbear server IP and start logging all requests.
- Comment on The Mozilla Graveyard 7 months ago:
It is not really FUD to point out that Mozilla wastes ungodly amounts of money on projects of dubious utility instead of investing into their browser. Their current trajectory doesn’t inspire much confidence either. Mozilla started to waste even more money on ‘AI’ features nobody asked for.
