I’m sure they would not entrust such a thing to a Windows OS in reality lol
My friend, have you ever configured an LED signboard before? If not, what you will learn will shock you…
…a lot of these boards are controlled by proprietary chinese software that only functions on Windows XP… even today.
As to why they don’t have a more modern OS connected to a signboard that obviously supports at least VGA and probably HDMI… I don’t know. Especially since the BSOD is a Windows 10 BSOD… XP did not have QR code sad face BSODs at the time.
There’s one LED advertisement board in my area that I see pretty often. Nowdays I’d say it shows something it’s not supposed to more often than an advertisement.
Previously I’ve seen BSOD on it a couple of times, but recently a lot. Also “Finish setting up this device” and part of the desktop showing Windows 11 wallpaper.
My guess is someone upgraded it from Windows 10 to 11, and now it works even less.Video scalers my dude. Proprietary yes, but Chinese is questionable. Crestron, Extron, QSC, all major video products based out of the US, tho I believe only Crestron manufacturers in the US.
I say it and mean it - when the software is in chinese language or has a very broken english translation for an interface…
I think you might just be using cheap shit off of Amazon lol.
So the only products that met the budget actually approved by management.
This was a prerecorded video, if you did not catch that.
Now that makes more sense.
Well, the BSOD without a reboot should have been the giveaway. The keyboard clicking noises should have been another.
Didn’t see a video of it anywhere on the article. Either my browser didn’t support or idk.
A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.
Adding to the increased attention: it was Microsoft night at the ballpark, with thousands of fans in attendance with ties to the Redmond-based software giant.
Honestly, my gut tells me this was a stunt.
Edit: Yeah, this is BS; You can hear typing in the video. What, they have a hot mic in the booth? And the article straight up calls it a gimmick. Definitely a stunt.
Hell, the fact that XP is handling an ultra wide display is enough to call bullshit xD
Literally nobody is pretending it wasn’t a stunt. They discuss it in the article. It’s been used several times.
This guy ate the onion.
Yeah, I posted a knee-jerk reaction, then followed up with an edit that says exactly that. Congrats for being able to read.
Lol, I just went to a Mariners game vs the White Sox (won in extra innings). I love that stadium, and the King Dome before it (rip). I almost never watch baseball on TV, but it’s a lot of fun to go in person, especially with the big screen gimmicks.
Obviously a stunt.
I mean they indicate as such if you read the article…
You mean, the stunt that they describe in detail in the article?
Obviously.
So obvious in fact that nobody was under any other impression, making this comment essentially a “the sky is blue” kind of thing.

It was a premade video…
Use Linux already
RTFA already
Linux has a BSOD kernel panic screen now too sooooooooo
