BSOD in the public.


Recommended Posts

We see monitors almost everywhere, in our daily lives. It's kinda funny seeing a BSOD, where you least expect it.

In Vancouver while purchasing a Skytrain ticket, I noticed on one of the terminals that has a touchscreen so you can choose what zone you want to go to. I saw a BSOD on one and when it rebooted I saw that the OS was NT4.

Anyone else?

Computers here in school are prone to BSOD. Anyway, I saw one in the display computers of one of the computer shops/repair in a mall. Pretty embarassing I might say.

This one was quite funny, I was at the drive thru at Wendys, and on the screen where they show your order (a LCD high color display) - and they had a Kernel Panic!!!! it was sooo funny! and great to see Linux being used in a new manner! :woot: What made it even funnier, is it was scrolling the kernel panic. (the display was oriented vertically so the messages were scrolling along the bottom left to right). I only wish I had my digital camera with me.... oh well! :)

I've seen two in Public - one was here in Australia, specifically at the International terminal of Melbourne airport - now THAT was a big BSOD hehe.

The second was in the TECHNOLOGY museum in London lol.

I was at a cashpoint a few months back (UK). A guy was in the queue a few people in front of me. He had input his card, asked for cash, and then all of a sudden the NT4 Workstation "Shutting down" screen came up for about a minute, then the whole system just shutdown. No card returned, no cash, nothing.

I was fairly suprised. He was pretty annoyed! He didn't seem to take any solice in my intrigue that they were using NT4, I assumed it would have been some embedded technology. He didn't want to discuss it, strangely enough ;)

Yup, I also see those pretty often when scrolling through the channels.

Always on cash points in the uk. And it's always when you really need money.

I never see them in shops.

Although I did see a girl in Thomas Cook have NTLDR missing error when she booted her PC. "Unlucky" is all I can say to that.
