Does OnlyOffice run on Swintec typewriters? How many people are going all-in on not reading the article today?
you're right and that's real cursed
You're not completely wrong, as they also have thin clients which should be technically capable of running a word processor. It's just a question of whether the prison is going to implement that no/low-cost solution.
reading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn't the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?
The typewriter obviously wouldn't have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user's input?
If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM's Bundling
There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.
gods
I thought at worst it'd be a typewriter with a vga or ps2 hookup but this is worse than I thought
having to use that and only that means you're gigafucked💀
