I love me an error screen in the wild, it's always fascinating to catch a glimpse at what's going on behind the scenes of random machines/displays.
Agreed.
Maintain digital signage at my work.
They're boring, just working off a usb. Not connected to any network.
Although there is less that can go wrong. Worst you'll see is a tv Screensaver instead of this funny stuff.
Most displays or kiosks I've come into contact with have a shortcut to an admin menu that isn't even locked behind a code. Most of the time it's tapping a corner OR the logo x amount of times.

I'm too lazy to fact-check this, I will however from now on repeatedly touch the corners of every single touchscreen kiosk I encounter for the rest of my life.
most of the old coke machines use the code 4 2 3 1. these buttons are from the top selection button to the fourth. one will be a back button, another will be the accept button, and the other two will be your up and down buttons.
even if most of the machines are locked out, you'll usually be able to see a few stats on the machine. kind of fun to mess with.
"the old coke machines" -- do you mean the Coke Freestyle machines or a different critter?
They're talking about these ones, if I remember correctly from seeing some "hack coke machine!" YouTube video 15 years ago
Lmao, ad panel of my apartment has this loophole - it's windows as well. Maybe it is like that because no one living here would seriously take it down.
WonkaVision on the fritz again. Someone get those little orange sysadmins in here.
My favorite marvel series.
Oompa loompa doompety what?
He's on second.
Oftentimes, seemingly minor issues present themselves prior to total system failure
Corrupted initramfs?
Chances are they used a cheap SD card.
Oompa loompa Doopity dee They cheaped out and should have bought an ssd
Can't say for sure on this product, but on most of their other products they use some weird brick that plugs straight into a SATA port without an additional power connection. Maybe eMMC, maybe NAND flash, IDK.
The fact that it's missing a "doo", "dee", or "dah" at the end of the first line is triggering me.
That's a bit sad, init?
Uh oh. /boot got corrupted?
In reference to your title, there used to be RebeccaBlackOS, which was basically the first "live cd" Linux that used Wayland. It was great for peeking at Wayland development and hardware support without needing to install anything.
I don't like the look of it.
Hint: :q!
