Yeah, I used to install those a couple years ago as a security tech.

Unless they are at the register, those screens don’t even record back to a central DVR. Just a local SD card inside the screen itself. The only wire running to them is low voltage DC power, no video or network. Those things aren’t really an issue in the grand scheme, they are less intrusive than a regular security camera since you can’t even view them live at the head end.

Now the bigger ones hanging from a pole in the ceiling, yes those ARE being centrally recorded.

I see it as anybody too young to remember a world that wasn’t connected 24/7, somebody who in their child/teen years that didn’t make heavy use of the phone attached to the kitchen wall to contact friends. Someone who’s never had to seriously use dialup Internet or an 8/16 bit computer.

This will be the (fifth?) time Microsoft has tried to implement virtual assistants. And they are still exceedingly inefficient at it.

The acronym kinda sounds like an STD.

Congratulations. It’s come a loooong way. Long live Konqi the cyberdragon.

Okay, so, this place IS filled with furries. Cool.

Honestly, good. Getting sick of the “professional” world being so goddamn stiff and boring. Push back against sanitized corporate aesthetics.

There are only three. Debian-based, Redhat/Fedora-based, and then the rest nobody cares about…
