siria Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Guys, please respect a bit the privacy of other people :-( Unauthorized photos in general are bad enough, but close-up mugs on the public web are a complete No-Go. And doesn't even make any sense at all when the subject are just "screen" shots. Cutting out parts of a photo with any simple, basic app, like IrfanView or even MS-paint, takes just a minute, and NO skills! 3

Hmmm, only out of curiosity, how do you know exactly that the photo in question was not authorized? Guys, please respect a bit the presumption of innocence. And now, for NO apparent reason, hipsters: https://petapixel.com/2019/03/07/hipster-p***ed-over-his-photo-in-article-on-hipsters-looking-the-same-but-its-a-different-hipster/ jaclaz

We do respect the privacy, but pictures are generally taken of computer running in public places and accessible by everyone, like train stations, markets, local shops and so on... You know, as long as it's a public place (not some deeply hidden computer running in some secret part of a company storing valuable and secret information about whatever leaked by a dodgey employee) and there are no other people included in the picture with their face well visible, I don't think that there are any problems in posting them here.

Ah, so this is why I looked at it for the very first time when it was already been edited (not knowing that it was cropped by you) and I thought it was 100% legit xD 2
i430VX Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Windows XP Spotted on a cash register! not my picture but when i saw it i knew i needed to post it here! 5
Dave-H Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) A Boots shop in the UK I guess, looks a terrible mess! I wonder why it's apparently actual XP and not Windows POS/Embedded 2009 as I would expect on a self-service till? We have loads of places still using ancient equipment!

You can enable that login screen on POSready, and probably the other derivatives, too. IIRC it has normal XP branding. 3
win32 Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Yeah, the only branding difference in all of the XP derivatives is the classic login/winver banner. Everything else is the same. I don't see why one would vouch for the enabling of the welcome screen in a business environment though. It doesn't easily work with domains. Embedded devices may be a different story, as there are other pictures circulating of the welcome screen on payphones. Perhaps they were using XP Pro for Embedded Systems, which appears to be XP Pro, welcome screen by default and all, just with special licensing. Edited October 23, 2019 by win32 4
SD73 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Apparently Vlad' isn't too worried about hacking. Vladimir Putin reportedly runs an outdated version of Windows on his computer, which is vulnerable to hacking https://www.yahoo.com/news/vladimir-putin-reportedly-runs-outdated-222037162.html 1
