Holy shit. That’s fucking ridiculous.
$175 hold for up to 72 hours? Fuck that shit right out of here.
Welcome to banks, some of them just suck.
That’s a really fucked up system. Sorry you have to deal with that shit. Over here the banks don’t get a say in how much the hold is for, merchant requests a £40 hold, bank holds £40 until the transaction’s closed. End of.
sudo give me free gas
What’s next? Linux in the fridgerator? Get outta here
Of course it’s running Linux. They’re trying not to get hacked.
Can a gas pump…
run doom?
Ok, now I’m wondering how common this is. I’ve ran into this a few times at my local gas station the past month and when I asked about it they said it’s been doing it a bunch lately. Would be interesting if we find out there’s some sort of malware attack on gas station pumps, would be an easy way to shut down an area remotely to cause panic.
linux community just got banned from fuckcars 😔
These advertisement-delivery systems at the pumps piss me off. They blare loudly.
Here’s a question for the techie crowd.
I used to be able to press the physical buttons on either side of these screens and get the ads to mute. It was a two-button combo I discovered using a systematic method as a way to control my irritation at the excessive volume. It was either that or stick a pencil in the speaker.
This worked at gas stations in several states for months. The mute feature was surely written in as a sanity saver for the developers and technicians. It stopped working a few weeks ago, so I guess the pushed out a patch.
Not much of a question I guess, except what gives? Does anyone have insight into these systems for realsies?
Is that Linux?
It doesn’t look like the normal boot log for Linux (or FreeBSD), so I’m not sure what it is either.
Probably some sort of embedded system
Maybe another init system idk?
