Are you sure? It doesn’t look long enough to be a CVS receipt.

That’s… what a photo is. While technically correct, no one would use “Photo:” as a meme format. It’s just redundant and dumb.

Are we really using redundancy and dumbness as a point against a meme format?

"When you

When you shit your pants"

Is literally an old meme format where repeating the top line is part of the joke.

Plus there’s “BOTTOM TEXT” which is just completely stupid but funny.

We must be seeing different memes.

That’s incredible.

Then again, school IT jobs are often given to “my nephew who is good with computers”, because the pay is often half compared to the private sector.

One teacher told us that once an IT technician at our school built the network, connecting 2 school institutions with ~7 buildings using only hubs. That network was apparently almost unusably slow, which isn’t surprising.

I have a friend that does IT/networking for a school district and he makes bank, YMMV.

My brother works for a school with 200 kids PreK-12. He’s a teacher, but he also does IT. He gets a $500/yr stipend, and he calls me at least twice a week with basic questions that are solved 95% of the time by rebooting the computer.

I’ve told him a number of times the district owes me that stipend lol

And not just printers. There may or may not also be a few Wi-Fi APs with login details admin:admin. And there also may or may not be many computers with RDP enabled without password. And those that have some password may or may not re-use the same short password for Administrator account. There also may or may not be SMTP server, though unfortunately in my case it doesn’t allow using it so send e-mails outside the network. It returns “Relay access denied” error.

If it makes you feel any better, before the days of ubiquitous wi-fi, printers on wired networks in my school were about as easy to discover and use from a distance. FTPing a text file to one would start a print job for that file and it would be trivial to mash together that information plus a list of printer addresses for the entire district network (courtesy of nmap).

This information was certainly never put to use.

My school had a level of security on their printers…and also a shitload of hackers. Like, the IT department was reporting vulnerabilities discovered by the students to Apple amount of hackers.

My high school had a level of security too. The same password on every work computer in the school.

Amazingly, I never resorted to changing grades. However logging into the admin account to play games instead of the 1,358th typing class was definitely on the menu.

Not the one unfortunately but wouldn’t surprise me if multiple groups of high schoolers over the years and across the country have been blowing holes in MacOS’s security.

my brain is churning through char limits… i just cant believe it would be large enough through multiple systems…but then, i dont know the char count of the script, compression techniques used, encapsulation etc.

It can just fetch the information one line at a time like a printing machine. I don’t think the receipt machine has that much memory to hold everything

Maybe this isn’t a big chain. I worked for a local pizza place a while back, and they had their own website set up by the owner. It would have been up to him to set the limit.

If his printer wasnt one from just eat linked to the just eat order machine we might have had the same problem. The printer was dumb, it likely just responded to whatever input it recieves. In the case of just eat orders they likely have a char limit so its never an issue.

The script is ~55k characters long, depending on the source. This transcript, 55k, includes who is saying the line, as well as descriptive elements of the story, so the actual ‘words only’ version will be a bit shorter. This one is 99k and includes even more description of the visual elements. From what I’ve seen, though, most of transcripts have these non verbal inclusions, so the person who added it to the special instructions likely copied those over as well.

I can’t speak to the other points, but allowing 55k characters is definitely wild.
