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

    I imagine an IT technician running around pressing keys on real physical keyboards connected to all machines, instead of connecting via ssh, or even using Ansible.

      Yeah this was what I was trying to get across to the other reply here. That tech is probably using VNC or something, rather than a shell over ssh. And they follow what I imagine are very bad docs from whoever built this thing, click on this, click on that, click loop video, click enable fullscreen.

      And that was probably a requirement for the devs to deliver it that way. Because they know what kind of techs that customer hires to maintain these things. And anyone comfortable with Linux and the CLI is not applying for this technician job. (lol I’m making a lot of assumptions here. AITA?) This is the story I have created in my mind about this broken kiosk and I’m sticking to it.
