Damn, they must be charging an arm and a leg then, or your firstborn perhaps.

Here’s another one, catch!

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

You can run DOOM on an Arduino, no problem.

I haven’t seen this thing in action under normal conditions since I just looted the picture off Faceborg, but I imagine it probably shows a slideshow of ads.

If a literal toaster can do it, I’m sure this thing probably can as well.

Well, it doesn’t look like a core dump

Bah humbug, just hook it up to the cloud, WCGW?

I honestly have no idea what they run on, I just know that they exist, and therefore there’s a fairly good chance that they at least CAN run Linux.

Perhaps it runs on a Raspberry Pi?

No idea where it’s from or what it usually looks like since I just nabbed this off of Facebook, but my guess is to display ads, or perhaps some slo-mo videos of fresh fruit being tossed in an appetizing manner in an attempt to trigger your Pavlovian reflex to buy some of those oranges.

Couldn’t find any pictures of that particular setup operating under normal conditions, but here are some similar ones to give you an idea:

Using an actual hard drive for an embedded system like this would be a failure in and of itself.

Unless it literally has to store several hours’ worth of HD video content, no reason the entire system couldn’t fit on an SD card.

Or an Adafruit, perhaps?

GitLens?

GitHub Desktop is literally “Baby’s first git GUI”.

Iron Maiden would like to have a word with you

I’m coming back, I will return
And I’ll possess your daemons and make your CPU burn
I have ring 0, I have your cores
I have the power to make my evil take its course

Well yes, internally that’s what it does, but from a user perspective it just looks like being handed the package, you never see any of the failed attempts (unless delivery fails completely because the company went out of business). It’s sorta more like having a butler who orders it for you and deals with any potential BS that might happen, and then just hands you the package when it finally arrives in one piece.

require 'castle'

begin
  Castle.attack
rescue Princess
  puts "Done"
end

from Castle import Princess

Done

Yes, but mostly because the general population likely isn’t super familiar with Bittorrent and PirateBay.

A better, yet similarly correct explanation would be to say GitHub is to Git what GMail is to email.

This also doesn’t confuse protocol and content, and it doesn’t require knowledge of piracy.
