>>60541847

no, usually means bad memory

>>60541847

>>60542444

Wouldn't that rather trigger some sort of ECC error instead, rather than an interrupt?

>>60541364
in large organizations like banks the people who decide are usually not the people with domain knowledge.
management comes to you and says they want that ms azure thing and everything else in amazon cloud like deutsche bahn.
you stand there eyes wide open and ask: " excuse me, do i have a stroke?"
they read or hear buzzwords like "cloud" "iot", get wet and decide. no place for techies.

>>60542469
no if the kernel is attempting to refer to bad memory the entire OS will just shut down

I'd be very surprised if the actual transactions went through Windows computers, but that's just a display. It's a waste of money and dumb, but it's not that bad.

>>60542499
Okay, I see that I'm arguing with a literal retard so I'll stick with my original hypothesis that it's a protection fault from ring 0.

>>60542865
It can be, but it can also be anything else. There used to be a bug in SMB that allowed attackers to inject addresses, which would also cause this. It's essentially a protection fault in ring 0.

>>60542461
Yeah it's meatspin. No, it wasn't an employee, just some random person. Apparently they had left some touch screen interface accessible on some media player inside the unit.

This board is fucking dead in the water.

The important stuff is all probably running on pajeetsuse, the thin clients all run on Windows though cause that's all tellers can use with their highschool degree. Also who gives a fuck about the advertisement kiosks, those are so far down the critical component list that they could be running Android for all I care

>>60541439
I do actually, please share something.

>>60543290
Yup, but anyone sees a kiosk with a BSOD they know which OS has failed again. It's happened to them too often.
Oh, that's right! It's never Windows' fault, is it.
Pity Windows can't tolerate a few transient errors without BSOD.

they paid millions for a license to use a core system from an external company to handle the banking stuff

turns out that junk is not just made by retards (all parameters to operations are optional strings, even when they aren't, and booleans are the initials of yes and no in an arbitrary one of 3 languages), it also has no unit tests or anything and they constantly change and break shit without telling people. Their own advisors and analysts cant answer our questions about their api

>>60541755
what's the code for that?

>>60545548
thats just 1 example btw. literally anything you can think of, they do it wrong.

they love to reinvent the wheel. a team of dinosaurs made their own transactional method call framework, fucked it up so much that nobody wants to integrate it into their project because of the overhead, complexity, coupling, and interference with unrelated code like unit tests, and act like having 144 maven dependencies is no big deal or even a thing to be proud of

It really depends on where. This is obviously a display screen in an office somewhere, probably just commercial stuff, so windows is probably not a bad choice here.

>>60541439
Really depends on the country tho. I know someone that works IT in a bank and apparently the security of american banking cards are just laughable.

Advertisement pcs do absolutely nothing other than showing a video or photo, which means that windows litterally crashed doing fucking nothing.

The backend is actually more likely some IBM mainframe shit dating back to god knows when, with the occasional incremental change and hardware upgrade.

- Step 1: The Microsoft salesman says "We have a full solution for you -- just trust us, we provide a solution to all your competitors too".

- Step 2: The bank IT guy either believes him -- or else he doesn't have the balls to abandon Microsoft and try to craft a full solution on his own using various bits of flotsam and jetsam that he might find in the Linux ecosystem.

- Step 3: Profit (for Microsoft, of course)

A display screen isn't necessarily critical infrastructure. Just because this was running Windows doesn't mean the banking activity is being managed with Windows.

They had to shut them all off to fix the problem. I'm not sure why there even was a touch screen interface, probably because it's "offentlig upphandling" (public procurement) which doesn't attract the sharpest bulbs in the box.

Because all the software consulting firms for banks make Windows-exclusive software and have done so for the past 20 years or so. And do you know why they do it? Because all their clients only use Windows. Really makes you think.

>>60541439
Yeah getting a software job in a business you have a direct relationship with is pretty bad. I work at a company making software that basically controls 50%+ of the telephone/internet grid in this country and it's an absolute shitshow, it's the software equivalent of being held together with gum and rubber bands.

The Avertising Dept would beg to differ.

>I'd be very surprised if the actual transactions went through Windows computers,
Prepare to be surprised. Many ATMs, for instance, run on Windows. Teller terminals, back-office PCs etc all run on Windows. What else do they know?
Since IBM killed off OS/2 they've had no choice. Their IT people are all Windows dweebs and know nothing else. They really do believe the way Windows is set up is the only way an OS can be.
Luckily, all good banks are into encryption, otherwise nobody would be safe.

>Shouldn't it use some software or os just for this kind a things other than using a huge monitor with win7?
Believe it or not there are engineers in this world who use Windows everywhere (thanks Ballmer). It's all they know. When all you have is a hammer...
Where a rational person would expect some version of Linux or even a simple stand-alone application in ROM, there you'll find Redmond's famed BSOD generator. And the fact that you see so many very public BSODs should tell you how skilled these engineers are. Probably just using a hastily patched version of the sample code that came with the display.

>>60541364
There are fucking banks? How does that work? I can deposit and transfer fucks?

>>60543223
>banks still use ibm mainframes for transaction processing
IBM or IBM compatible. Running MVS or its successors.
It's practically a requirement for banks, has been for maybe 50 years.

>>60553096
>They really do believe the way Windows is set up is the only way an OS can be
Or maybe they want professional long term support and stable hardware compatibility, rather than relying on a 14 year old german kid writing driver patches?

>>60543259
>> A RAM fault is the fault of the OS.
The inability to tolerate a RAM error (because you're running on consumer-grade RAM with no ECC etc) is the result of running a toy OS.
Real computers with real operating systems don't have this problem. EG Tandem Non-Stop Systems. Very popular with banks. Until Compaq got hold of them.

>>60553264
Basic shit just werks (TM). Conversely they can write them themselves (or could if they weren't stupid monekey who can only push the button without understanding anything).
Anyway you just have to get it right once, the hardware doesn't get upgraded too often in a ad display screens or ATMs and even if it did its the same change in thousands of devices so it's not a big problem to hire somebody who knows his shit for that, then you just let the monkeys copy his solution.

Because these organisations need people on the counter who are lowest common denominator and can only barely use Windows. Because Linux people cost too much or at that price bracket are the type who will fuck around too much cause they think they are 1337ha><orNeo cause they can use bash and breaks everything or don't exist. Also Windows has a decent implementation of group policy to stop idiots doing stupid thing which does not exist in linux.

You can turn off the automatic reboot. They probably have it set to not do so so they can diagnose the problem. If it just kept rebooting they'd have to do a lot more work unless they're using VMs (which they SHOULD be in a fucking bank)
