Of course it's running Linux. They're trying not to get hacked.

Is that Linux?

These advertisement-delivery systems at the pumps piss me off. They blare loudly.

Here’s a question for the techie crowd.

I used to be able to press the physical buttons on either side of these screens and get the ads to mute. It was a two-button combo I discovered using a systematic method as a way to control my irritation at the excessive volume. It was either that or stick a pencil in the speaker.

This worked at gas stations in several states for months. The mute feature was surely written in as a sanity saver for the developers and technicians. It stopped working a few weeks ago, so I guess the pushed out a patch.

Not much of a question I guess, except what gives? Does anyone have insight into these systems for realsies?

What's next? Linux in the fridgerator? Get outta here

You know, every time I see something like this, I wonder how many government endpoints are Windows-based. This sends a shiver down my spine.

The year of Linux on the gas stop

linux community just got banned from fuckcars 😔

Can a gas pump...

run doom?

Gas station Linux killed my parents.

Ok, now I'm wondering how common this is. I've ran into this a few times at my local gas station the past month and when I asked about it they said it's been doing it a bunch lately. Would be interesting if we find out there's some sort of malware attack on gas station pumps, would be an easy way to shut down an area remotely to cause panic.

Oh no the X session crashed! D:
