Those “POS” terminals can’t be hacked, worked fine for 40 years, and paying a guy to maintain them is far cheaper than a modern system anyone can hack and will get bricked with a software update.
I’m pretty sure they can be hacked, i’m just not sure anyone would think it was worth it.
i don’t know what their maintenance fees are, but the enrollment fees at square are cheaper than what i charge for fucking around with [old programming language].
the difference is my clients’ system is custom to them. i just don’t know why they haven’t switched.
I know an engineer that does very well because he services systems originally programmed in Fortran.
What… Of Fortran that old already?
Damn, I am that old already…
The idea that Fortran is old is old at this point.
Does that make it new or old squared?
i mean my [very old computer language] expertise gets me some business every now and then, but it’s usually really old POS terminals.
