Aside from Linux running on NASA hardware, phones and consoles. Does it run on ATM machines, PDAs and point of sale monitors?
I ask this because I’ve seen Windows being used in airport terminals and really old versions being used for cash machines as well. The crowdstrike problem made this more prevalent by seeing “non end user computers” using the OS.
Does Linux fill this niche as well do you know? I don’t recall hearing any big name embedded distro used for those sorts of machines. Maybe Alpine Linux or NetBSD?
Thank you in advance for your input!
My 2014 Ford Flex was the same way, except that they didn’t contact me.
The car with which I replaced the Flex doesn’t have onboard navigation, instead relying on Android Auto. I was pleased about this, thinking at least it wouldn’t track where I was going … Until I opened the app and saw it could still report its location independently. At that point it seems like there might as well at least be an option for onboard navigation.
