That sounds...suboptimal. I would imagine they used specialized controller cards or something like that.

- Ekaros 2y agoThey optimize for small batch development costs. Slapping windows PC when you sell a few hundred to thousand units is actually pretty cheap. Software itself is probably same order of magnitude, cheaper for UI itself...

- kchr 2y agoUbuntu LTS has support for 5 years, can be extended to 10 years of maintenance/security support with ESM (which is a paid service). Same with Rocky Linux, but the extra 5 years of maintenance/security support is provided for free.
