14 DAY TRIAL // To be honest, we didn’t know that airport departures boards are connected to a Windows computer, but it’s all very clear now after seeing this picture.
Twitter user Chad Baugh posted a photo he shot in an United States airport showing what seems to be a departures board and a good-looking Windows error right in the center.
It’s a bit difficult to read the name of the program that crashed because of the poor photo quality, but what’s more important is that departure times seem to be updated in the background.
This means that the overall stability of the departures board wasn’t affected by the error and, in the end, a single click was all they needed to quickly hide the error. At least we found out that airports are using Windows too.
