Airport passenger gate (lemmy.sdf.org)

Does it qualify as a BSOD ? Or just oh crap the app crashed and there is the bare windows desktop…?

I saw a Windows NT 4 desktop after the app crashed in an ATM machine something like 7 years ago. Which is shockingly recent for something as old as Windows NT 4

And I thought they all ran on XP

It looks pretty standard to me, maybe with the default windows bloatware…

Broken network connection probably led to the app failing to start.

I hope it's not needed to be connected to the internet. It's not like there's 62937 vulnerability that are network based without user interactions on old windows versions, right?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Maybe not the internet, but I’m guessing it needs to be on some kind of network, since they are not replicating ticket data onto each of these kiosks.

Wait... That task bar... Is this still on 7 or 8? 😦

That's Windows 7 alright

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That’s Windows 7; I suppose maybe even Vista. Probably the embedded versions.

I’ll second the motion.

Is it a touch screen? You should try and launch command prompt.

Oh neat, so Microsoft gets to know where everyone is flying to, even though the person flying gave no consent, nor involved Microsoft in any way.

Windows Enterprise doesn't have the same spyware as normal Windows that us plebs use.

[-] M33@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 day ago

Based on what I see on windows enterprise edition, they do have bloatware and « spyware » unless domain administrators disable these features and build a master with all that crap removed

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I don't use Windows, but I'm glad to hear. Thanks.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

Unlikely they'd get that from this, especially when everyone in the offices doing all the actual flight details is probably using normal Windows machines
