A couple news articles

Hi all.
This is your co admin here.
I usually don’t do much bar lerk.
However I thought this load should be usefull.
Firstly this one.

Then this one.

Eftpos terminals have been usefull to us but lets face it, of late the last 3 or so years at least, most of the systems are touch.
They do have a screen reader but the reader doesn’t work that well.
I mean you can stray from the touch board, its almost unusable, I have tried.
I have also tested with one of the local banks and they are not and staff saw me struggle with them.
I understand the need for the upgrade, but why all like this.
A bluetooth board with the buttons to hit as an old terminal would be quite good.
Even if it was just the imbedded one they had where 1 2 and 3 did your accounts and then you put in your number and hit enter and have the machine do its thing would be fine.

Not sure why its in the news now.
Next, a lot of us use the google cloud system and to their credit there are usually no real malfunctions so why in gods name is google mum about drive stopping working all of a sudden and losing files.
The net is run on the cloud so its big news when things like this fail.
Anyway jared any of these could make a ttech podcast.
I’d even go so far as being on it with you or other things if you wanted this.
