    When I used to work at Walmart in 2012, they still used MS-DOS for their signage

      Open-source Mbrowser 52.2, packed with security features

      Does anyone know where to find this?

      EDIT: All I can find are the user agent strings which indicate that this might be some IBM product. Also, there’s rv:52.0 in the environment part, but IBM Mbrowser/60.5.1 in the engines part - so the actual version of the browser component might be 60.5.1 in this case, not 52.x. (There’s also a rv:60.0 with Mbrowser/60.9.0 - no IBM this time.)

    IDK where this is, but I repaired self checkouts in Oklahoma and Texas for years and they all had Windows. The regular registers looked like this when they booted. But going off the way the surrounding hardware is facing the same direction as the screen and what looks like a debit reader barely visible on the left and the printer on the right, it does look like a self checkout, just not one like I’ve ever seen.

      Sam’s Club doesn’t use windows for their machines. The self checkout uses some pervert proprietary version of Linux and the registers for humans have some java powered thing. No windows.

        Yes, Sams club. Regular registers set up to be self checkouts. Yep, I remember that.

    Maybe there were dual booting Windows and then a Windows update broke the boot partition

    Why do your self checkout kiosks look like they’re 20 behind from the ones we use in Denmark?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
