Airport advertising sign, looks like they forgot to make the looping video full screen.

    The display in the underground trains of Munich and Nuremberg still uses windows. It’s such a pet peeve of mine, why would they pay for a license for such a simple use case?

        Otherwise they’re an easy target for some fines, I think. It’s rather they pay the licence and nobody cares the money is wasted. And funnelled to the US, instead of staying locally.

        I saw this windows-based display just last week. Either something went wrong activating it or they don’t pay

      They probably paid for some long ago, and don’t want to pay again for updated versions of everything. They could probably even get away running stuff on Wine 🤣
