## Формат

В этот раз формат проведения претерпел огромные изменения. Изменения коснулись правил конкурса, а так же были запущенные проекты, такие как : "Anti Famous Selection", "Talking Twosome" и менее крупные. Все проекты и акции были направлены на привлечение новых участников, а так же на повышения рейтинга конкурса, среди основных кураторов. Страны, проголосовавшие во время, получили дополнительные баллы.

## Место проведения

Cirque Royal — Брюссель: место проведения второго конкурса!
Проект сцены уже готов, но публичная презентация её дизайна ещё не состоялась. Очевидно, BBC решил не покидать свою временную вещательную базу в Брюсселе.

Сооружение конструкций уже пять дней, как в процессе — сообщает LA DEUX.

## Дизайн и Концепция

Логотипом второго конкурса становится тот самый указатель на жизненной развилке, который будет нам указывать, в какую сторону нам свернуть. В сторону мрачной и грязной лжи, или в сторону настоящего, честного, правдолюбивого мира.

## Спонсор

Спонсором второго конкурса официально заявлена компания Chrysler, и обладательница собственного лейбла — Бельгийская исполнительница Birdy!

Как и было известно ранее, Birdy занялась продвижением своего альбома во всём мире благодаря рекламе конкурса, и привлекла "свежую аудиторию" в конкурс.

Фирма Chrysler заключила договор с Содружеством, и займётся транспортировкой оборудования, участников, членов делегации в Брюсселе.

Потом произошла встреча с Barry Hay из группы Golden Earring, другом её бывшего мужа Эдвина Янсена. Он заметил её талант и предложил писать для неё песни (одна из которых Mood Indigo). Песня Mood Indigo была написана в сотрудничестве с George Kooymans (тоже участник группы Golden Earring).

## Формат

Maximilian Laberstein в интервью телеканалу BBC признался, что ведущий конкурса выбран.

«Мы долгое время думали над тем, кого сделать лицом конкурса. Было
множество вариантов, но верным оставался только один... Руководство телеканала решило, что с этой ролью справится только она ...."

Maximilian еще в течении 20 минут не раскрывал "Её" имени, пытался запутать прессу и ведущего намекая на небезызвестную Кончиту Вюрст. Но, к концу эфира все же сдался. Ведущей была объявлена известная в Австрии исполнительница - Зои.

## Место проведения

Многие журналисты в своих статьях неоднократно отмечали, что Вена - самый привлекательный и достойный вариант для юбилейного шоу. Благодаря своей инфраструктуре, богатой истории, культурного наследия, а также превосходным проведением международных фестивалей - Вена должна быть выбрана местом проведения конкурса. Но, на совещании 15 октября официально было объявлено, что пятый сезон конкурса песни примет город - Зальцбург.

## Дизайн и Концепция

18 октября, в то время пока в Вене раскрывали имя ведущего, в Зальцбурге был продемонстрирован графический дизайн.

"Open your heart" — именно под таким девизом пройдет юбилейный 5-й конкурс песни. Он призывает открыть свое сердце, дать волю чувствам и эмоциям, забыть о тех проблемах что нас окружают и дарить добро.

Сам логотип выполнен в виде сердца из двух лучей. Разработкой занималось рекламное агентство WMC.

Ripleys Game

## Plot

Living on his posh French estate with his elegant heiress wife, Tom Ripley, on the cusp of middle age, is no longer the striving comer of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Having accrued considerable wealth through a long career of crime—forgery, extortion, serial murder—Ripley still finds his appetite unquenched and longs to get back in the game. In Ripley's Game, first published in 1974, Patricia Highsmith's classic chameleon relishes the opportunity to simultaneously repay an insult and help a friend commit a crime—and escape the doldrums of his idyllic retirement. This third novel in Highsmith's series is one of her most psychologically nuanced—particularly memorable for its dark, absurd humor—and was hailed by critics for its ability to manipulate the tropes of the genre. With the creation of Ripley, one of literature's most seductive sociopaths, Highsmith anticipated the likes of Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter years before their appearance"
Ripley Under Ground

## Plot

It's been six years since Tom Ripley murdered Dickie Greenleaf and inherited his money. Now, in Ripley Under Ground (1970), he lives in a beautiful French villa, surrounded by a world-class art collection and married to a pharmaceutical heiress. All seems serene in Ripley's world until a phone call from London shatters his peace. An art forgery scheme he set up a few years ago is threatening to unravel: a nosy American is asking questions and Ripley must go to London to put a stop to it. In this second Ripley novel, Patricia Highsmith offers a mesmerizing and disturbing tale in which Ripley will stop at nothing to preserve his tangle of lies."

The Talented Mr Ripley

## Plot

Since his debut in 1955, Tom Ripley has evolved into the ultimate bad boy sociopath, influencing countless novelists and filmmakers. In this first novel, we are introduced to suave, handsome Tom Ripley: a young striver, newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan in the 1950s. A product of a broken home, branded a "sissy" by his dismissive Aunt Dottie, Ripley becomes enamored of the moneyed world of his new friend, Dickie Greenleaf. This fondness turns obsessive when Ripley is sent to Italy to bring back his libertine pal but grows enraged by Dickie's ambivalent feelings for Marge, a charming American dilettante. A dark reworking of Henry James's The Ambassadors, The Talented Mr. Ripley—is up to his tricks in a 90s film and also Rene Clement's 60s film, "Purple Noon."

Nanny On Tour show

Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour is an American reality television series, themed around parenting skills, hosted by British nanny Jo Frost. The first season ran for 10 1-hour long episodes from January 2016 on Up TV; the company has ordered a second season. Jo Frost also serves as a producer on the show.

## Background

The series uses a similar theme that was used in Supernanny, which has Frost traveling to a new city each week and work with one family that desperately needs her expertise. Prior to her arrival, Frost monitors the family’s behavior from her mobile RV office through the use of surveillance cameras through the consent of the family after they agree to have it placed throughout their home. Once she sees their weaknesses and errors, Frost helps the families come up with tools and techniques in order to improve their parenting skills, maintain their discipline and relationship with their children, and to keep in touch through progress reports. In addition, Frost also travels to communities where she seeks out help from people looking for advice from family issues to becoming better parents.

## Production

The series' format was based on a Dutch version that Frost did for RTL 4 in 2015. The concept was later picked up by Up TV in September 2015.

Frost also wanted to move away from the Supernanny image by adopting a contemporary look: "It was really important to be able to think what kind of format I can develop to allow me to be the staple in a family's home," Frost said, "and be able to look at a wider spectrum of issues we see in 21st century modern parenting."

## Reception

The series received a negative review from Salt Lake Tribune's Scott Pierce, who saw an advance showing and isn't a fan of the family-based reality genre because of how it exploits children for ratings: "We know these are bad parents on 'Nanny on Tour' because THEY PUT THEIR KIDS ON REALITY TV." (Yes, I was so upset about this I USED ALL CAP on Twitter.) Frost tweeted back at me: "Watch the show. You will see what a positive difference we are making for American families." If this is all about teaching parents to be better parents, use actors. Use re-creations. Don't exploit kids. That will never happen, of course. Because this isn't about helping families, it's about attracting viewers/making money by using those families. I've watched Frost's shows. If I were she, I'd have trouble sleeping at night."

## International Broadcast

In the United Kingdom, the series airs on Quest Red from March 2017.

Humans, Plants, and Zombies/First Time With Hopkins

The second episode.

*(8:30am, Ernesto's house)*

*(receives phone call)*

Hopkins: Dude, sup? You're the newcomer, right?

Ernesto: Yea. Who's this?

Hopkins: I'm Hopkins.

Ernesto: So you're the dude Ernest was talking about?

Hopkins: Yes.

Ernesto: Great. Now tell me the PC specs.

Hopkins: Uhhhhhhhhh.... Not now please, but if you really wanna know, come here. My house is just a block away from yours.

Ernesto: Fine. You have some spare time? I might need to ask you a question or two.

Hopkins: Course.

Ernesto: K, bye.

Hopkins: Bye.

*(hung up)*

*(goes to Hopkins' house just for fun)*

*(knocks the door)*

Hopkins: Hold on.

*(Hopkins opens it)*

Hopkins: Oh hi, Ernie. Come in.

*(closes the door)*

Ernesto: Hmmm... so, I'm gonna ask you a question or two.

Hopkins: Do so.

Ernesto: I wonder what's your full name.

Hopkins: I'm Chris Hopkins. You?

Ernesto: Ernesto Aguirre Maldonado. Just call me either Ernesto or Ernie.

*(Ernesto looks at his room)*

Ernesto: HOLY SHIT you actually have a lot of PCs! That's boss.

Hopkins: Yeah. Those are for my PC building videos. Now, you wonder what I put in your PC, eh?

Ernesto: Of fucking course, dude (slightly laughing)

Hopkins: So you don't check out those system properties and device manager and figure it out yourselves?

Ernesto: Nope.

Hopkins: OK. So I put an Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 as the CPU.

Ernesto: Dude, that's for workstation. I'll only use that shit for gaming anyway.

Hopkins: I know, but actually it's cheaper, but almost as powerful as an i7.

Ernesto: I prefer an i7-4790K.

Hopkins: Uhhhhh... the reason why I didn't put an i7 there cuz I ran outta them.

Ernesto: Why don't you take one from your rig?

Hopkins: Well, I don't wanna spend my whole time just to find one that has it. Sorry.

Ernesto: Oh nevermind. And for the rest of the specs?

Hopkins: GPUs are two-way SLI EVGA GTX 980 Ti, 6GB, and the RAM is 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X. PSU is Corsair AX760, in case if you're planning to use more powerful stuff. Mainboard is MSI H97 PC Mate.

Ernesto: OK. Sounds enough. Also, do you have some social media links?

Hopkins: Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are chopstickins1024. Go follow or sub those.

Ernesto: Fine.
Ripley Under Water

## Plot

Tom Ripley is settled into his estate in the French countryside, quietly enjoying his gardening and planning a trip to North Africa with his beautiful wife. But an odd, vulgar American couple is lurking about the village—and they seem to recognize him. After a string of strange coincidences, Ripley must deploy all of his cruel talents to protect himself and hide a deed from his past. Ripley Under Water (1991) is Patricia Highsmith's final Ripley novel, and one of her most deliciously thrilling and terrifying.
Grayce Valentino

**Grayce Valentino** (born 2010) is a little girl from *Jo Frost: Nanny on Tour.* She has a single mom named Carrie Valentino and a brother named Micheal Valentino. She gave her mom an attitude and was very sassy. When she continued to give her mom an attitude, she got sent to bed for the night (which was shown when Jo Frost asked the Valentino Family if they needed help). She was six years old when she was seen on Jo Frost: Nanny on Tour.
Using Windows Thin PC as a daily driver

## Windows

So I downloaded Windows Thin PC and decided to give it a try on my actual PC. (wanna download it?) This is basically a lightweight, stripped down version of Windows 7 SP1, designed for older hardware. Sadly, this particular edition of Windows is not available for download or purchase for consumers. Would've been nice if it was, since this could really help those people who still use their old 1 GHz AMD Athlon K7 from 2000 with 1GB RAM to upgrade to Windows 7. Also, due to its lightweight size, this could've been used to save some disk space.

WinTPC is only available in x86 edition, so don't expect to get a lightweight x64 OS because they do NOT make it.

The hash of the this ISO and the one from MSDN subscriber downloads are different, which made me a bit confused. However, after googling, this one is actually the evaluation copy of Windows Thin PC, but I still don't understand why doesn't the watermark appear on the bottom-right corner of the desktop (it should've said things like "Evaluation copy build 7601" or something like that), and winver doesn't seem to mention anything about "Evaluation copy," so I'm confused of whether this is an evaluation copy or not. I'll update this if I get anything related to evaluation copy appearing on my PC.

I installed it, and it seems to install faster than a regular x86 Win7. This is to be expected because it has much less files compared to Win7. It only takes about 10 minutes to install the whole thing, compared to 20-30 minutes when I install Windows 7 or 8.1 x64.

I downloaded the display driver off Nvidia's site, obviously the x86 one, and it works well. Aero works, and the driver seems to be completely usable with this version of Windows.

I activated the OS using the Microsoft Toolkit, which came with the torrent, and it worked fine (after installing .NET Framework 4, which is required). Both Daz Loader and KMSPico couldn't activate it, probably due to a different licensing method.

The search features were removed, both on the start menu and on explorer, which is really disappointing since it makes it harder to find files.

By default, the page file is not set, so I had to go to the control panel, turn it on, and set the pagefile to 1000MB (close to 1GiB).

Most apps that work in Win7 x86 should work here, since it's based off the Win7 SP1 (Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1 to be exact). However, there are some exceptions, as noted in the setup's release notes.

## What's tested and working

* Chrome
* IDM
* Lightshot
* PvZ
* Virtual PC 2007
* VLC media player
* Firefox
* Audacity
* PCSX2

## What's NOT working

* .NET Framework 3.5
* MSE
* Windows Live Essentials
* Some codecs (use VLC instead or Shark007's codecs)

I've also read some blogs and found out that MSE doesn't work on this OS.

Due to limited space on the partition where I installed WinTPC at (only 10GB), I can't just try all apps at once. I'll also update this if there are more apps that work (and don't work).

Character customization in Humans, Plants, and Zombies

In Humans, Plants, and Zombies, players are able to customize their characters, regardless of which type they use (human, plant, zombie).

The game offers top-to-bottom customization. As such, the game gives players access to most, if not all, of the customizations possible in real-life.

Due to plants' different shapes when compared to humans or zombies, customization for them are much more limited.

Some parts' amounts can be customized so that the character wears only one of them, or a pair of them. This applies to gloves, socks, and shoes.

## Available customizations for humans and zombies

* Hats
* Hair
* Glasses (nearsighted glasses, sunglasses, goggles, etc.)
* Facial hair
* Beard
* Ties
* Clothes (t-shirts, jackets, coats, etc.)
* Watches
* Gloves
* Pants
* Socks (yes, you can even customize socks in this game)
* Shoes (boots, sneakers, skate shoes, etc.)

## Available customizations for plants

* Hats
* Hair
* Glasses
* Facial hair
* Beard
* Watches

Testing out Windows 10 Education

## Windows

* Desktop
* Winver

Downloaded Win10 Edu off Microsoft Tech Bench using the script hack, and decided to install it on my PC.

At first I didn't have the key, and I did a separate clean install since I'm not sure if this will fuck up my current Win10 Pro activation status (this one was actually cracked using Daz Loader, but became totally genuine after the digital entitlement).

Decided to download KMSPico 10.2.0, which claims to work on all Win10 editions, but it claims that this one uses the retail key instead of VL. It refused to activate it, so I thought I'm shit outta luck.

It was at this moment I realized that it probably needed a product key, so I googled for Win10 education product key and I found one (not gonna show it here). Reopened KMSPico, and it then worked like a charm. The OS was successfully activated.

However, the annoying thing is that it has this permanent watermark that says "Windows 10 Education". This usually only comes up when Windows is not yet activated but this time it's still there. After googling, however, this was deliberate and is there to annoy consumers for whatever reason. I guess someone at M$ thinks that it's a good idea, but really, it just fucks up the whole shit.

Universal Watermark Remover is able to remove it. I've tested it and it worked.

Anyway, I opened control panel, and searched for "windows to go", since this version of Windows is claimed to have the Windows To Go feature. To my surprise, it has it. Really, this is basically just Win10 Enterprise, intended for academic use, and with that annoying watermark on the desktop.
Patricia Highsmith

Patricia Highsmith was an American novelist known for her psychological crime thrillers.

## Bio

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, Patricia Highsmith spent much of her adult life in Switzerland and France. She was educated at Barnard College, where she studied English, Latin, and Greek. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train, published initially in 1950, proved to be a major commercial success and was filmed by Alfred Hitchcock. Despite this early recognition, Highsmith was unappreciated in the United States for the entire length of her career.
Lique Guillotine

Template:Fictional

The **Guillotine** are gaming laptops manufactured by Lique. They're available in 10-, 13-, 15-, and 17-inch screens, and uses the 4K resolution (Full HD and QHD resolutions are opt-in).

Because Lique offers an option to opt for Xeon CPUs and Quadro GPUs (both are normally used for workstations), it bears some resemblance to the WorkEZ. However, its design is identical to those found in other gaming laptops.

## Predefined specs

* Display: 10', 13', 15', 17'
* CPU: i7-6700HQ, 2.6GHz (up to 3.5GHz turbo speed)
* GPU: GeForce GTX 980M
* RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2666
* Storage: 512GB SSD (Lique Solide Six) + 2TB HDD (WD 7200 rpm)
* OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
* 4K display (can opt-in for 1080p or 1440p displays)
* Touchscreen, hybrid (can opt-in for a regular display too)

## Specs customization

The buyer can customize the specs of their Guillotine to suit their choice. However, it has some restrictions:

* CPU selection is limited to higher-end Haswell, Broadwell, and Skylake i5/i7/Xeon E3 CPUs.
* GPU selection is limited from GTX 960M to GTX 980M, and Quadro M3000M or Quadro M5000M.
* Minimum RAM selection is limited to 8GB, and a maximum of 64GB.
* Minimum SSD capacity is limited to 240GB, and maximum is 5TB.
* Minimum HDD capacity is limited to 1TB.
* OS is locked to Windows 10 Pro if Skylake CPU is chosen, and is limited to 7/8.1/10 if Haswell or Broadwell is chosen.

However, the buyer can choose to fill both drive slots with SSDs instead of SSD + HDD. They can also choose to fill both drive slots with HDDs instead, which results in a cheaper price.

## OverDrive Edition

The OverDrive edition is basically the Guillotine 17, tweaked to the highest possible specs.

## Begin Edition

The Begin edition is an entry-level Guillotine 10.

Specs:

* 10' display, 1080p
* Intel Core i5-6287U 3.1GHz
* GeForce GTX 960M
* 8GB (2x4GB) RAM
* 1TB HDD (no SSD)
* Windows 10 Pro x64
* No LED-backlit keyboard
* No touchscreen, non-hybrid

## Worx Edition

The Worx Edition is a mobile workstation-like Guillotine 17. Lique claims that it's decent enough for gaming. However, its price is ridiculously expensive since it uses the Quadro line of GPUs, which were actually intended for workstation and not for gaming.

Only 100 units are produced.

* 17' display, 4K
* Xeon E3-1505M
* Quadro M5000M or Quadro M3000M (choose one)
* 5TB SSD (Lique Solide Six Ultra) + 4TB HDD
* 32GB (2x16GB) RAM (Lique Protoboost 4)
* Windows 10 Pro x64
* LED-backlit keyboard
* Touchscreen, hybrid

## Owners

* Chris Hopkins has the OverDrive edition.
* Ernesto Aguirre has the 10-inch Guillotine.
* Rachel Teller has the 15-inch Guillotine.
* Matt Salvador has the 15-inch Guillotine with 1TB SSD.

Time travel paradox?

Well, i came home from school as usual, only to find out something was wrong. there was me, riding a motorbike, but I WAS CURRENTLY ON FOOT! For whatever reason the time was kinda twisted so that im in a room in my school and confused. There were my classmates too.

One of my friends told me to get a "time travel clock" and I was like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!" So I took it, but instead of giving it back to them I decided to use it. It's an analog time-travel device, no fancy digital clock or calendar, only has this weird year/month/date/hour/minute/second dials as well as something that looks like an odometer to display the current time. They used to switch the time are really sharp at the edge, so I was having a hard time using it but I managed to do it anyway.

I basically fast-forwarded the time, but NOT TOO FAR from when I took it, so my friends were still in the room. Curious, I also rewound the time, and I was at my granny's house. Time shows 6 am. I had nothing to do there, and they were confused as how did I even get this thing out of nowhere (well, this device manipulates BOTH time and location, so that it actually throws you into where you should've been).

I fast-forwarded again, then I was at my classroom with this TERRIFYINGLY ARROGANT teacher. He was an English teacher though. So I fast-forwarded it again cuz I cant stand him when he gets really pissed off. I was finally at home, where I should've been. Date and time is correct. I'm kinda glad that I finally managed to go home without my classmates bugging me about group assignments and whatnot :P

Curiosity kills the cat, few hours later I decided to use it again. I rewound the time, SO FAR FROM WHEN I WAS EVEN BORN. I decided to switch back the year, so much to the point where I feel like switching it feels faster or something. It was 3 July 1794, about two months after Lavoisier's execution was done. I didnt rotate the month day dial at all since I focused too much on the year.

Because I wasnt even born and the device doesnt know where I was at that time, it actually pulled up a map of what looks like the world map from the present days. It told me to choose an area I like, so I took Paris (it does have the search bar to make things quicker), and I clicked somewhere on the area. It then took me to a street and some people were confused about me coming outta nowhere, as well as my weird appearance (well, such casual t-shirt and jeans look absolutely weird in the late 18th century). I literally didnt know what they said cuz everyone was talking in French, so I just shut up and walk.
About the white squares and towers in the PS2 startup screen

In the PS2 startup screen, if you have a memory card inserted, usually there will be some white squares and towers in the startup screen.

Actually, this is how your PS2 logs how frequently you play games in a row.

Did You Know Gaming explained this once. However, it was only partially true.

They do represent games, but the way how it works is different than what they explained.

The way how it works is this, according to the test I did:

1. When a new game is played, it "logs" it into the Your System Configuration file in the memory card (that's why you won't see them when you don't insert a memory card, as it just can't save the config), and generates one square at a random area in the startup screen.
2. When that same game is played a few times sequentially, the square turns darker, and then it "transforms" into a small tower. The more you play it in a row, the taller it will be.
3. When a different game is played, it generates a new square, which repeats the sequence 1 and 2 mentioned above.
4. At one point, it may make another square, even if you keep playing the same game sequentially, which will make the previous tower stop going any higher. It still repeats the sequence 1 and 2, and this happens randomly.
5. Sometimes all the squares and towers vanish for some reason. The cause of this is unknown, but it just makes the startup screen boring again. However, you can just filling it up again as usual by playing some games again and allow it to log them.

You can basically "trick" the logger, so that it will make a square transform into a tower and then increase its height. To do this, simply load a game, and then when it gets into the game, just reset the console. Do this multiple times and it will eventually transform into a tower and then its height will increase, until it decides to generate another square. Be sure to allow it to load the saved data before doing this, if present, otherwise it may corrupt your save file.

Here's a screenshot of it taken from PCSX2 on my PC. TBH I just used the trick above to make them taller, and generate more towers. I currently have 8 games, which should've made the squares and towers 8 in total. However, they vanished at a point, and I used the above trick instead to "farm towers", by only using 2 games (Black and Battlefield 2 Modern Combat).

I used to have a slim PS2 back in late 2007 that generated these squares and towers. It just looks kinda amusing for me since it makes it look less boring as those generates randomly in different places and everyone has a different set of them.

Some of the models can't generate the towers (i.e. stuck on white squares only), and worse, can't even generate the squares. This happened to me on my old fat PS2 (forgot which model it was), where it only generates white squares. Might be related to the BIOS not supporting it, or just plain buggy.

Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, a Windows XP variant that's still supported by Microsoft?

So I was randomly perusing for OSes and see if they're interesting and usable enough to try these days, and found this Windows XP-based OS called Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (POSReady means "point-of-service ready", and not "piece of shit ready" :P, and I'll call it WinEP2009 after this).

This OS is quite interesting, not because of its themes or its purpose, but it's because it's STILL supported right now, and it'll last until April 2019, FIVE years after WinXP support ended.

I know, I know, a lot of companies have pulled the plug for WinXP support, which means that they won't run on WinEP2009 either, but if its support is still up and running, then you can basically use this to keep your PC updated while still running WinXP at the same time.

This is really great for those hardcore WinXP fans out there, as well as some of those stubborn people who decides to stick with XP no matter what.

It also has a quite nice dark theme, which is called Windows Embedded style. You can actually get this from the internet, without tampering the system files, since this is officially signed by Microsoft. The custom theme was probably designed to differentiate it from a regular WinXP.

Windows Embedded is NOT a retail product. It's only manufactured for OEMs and you can't buy it anywhere. However, there's a free evaluation copy you can get directly from Microsoft, and there are also permanent product keys which removes the timebomb, thus allowing you to use it as if it was a normal OS. However, I won't give a link to that, since that is illegal. This OS is still maintained by Microsoft even if its usage is probably below 1%, so it doesn't classify as an abandonware yet.
12 April 2016: Windows Embedded for Point of Service end of life

Well just some little reminder that today's WEPOS's end of life (I wrote this on 11:57, April 12, 2016 (UTC)).

So this OS is basically a Windows XP Embedded OS designed for point-of-sale devices (e.g. cash registers, etc.). This was released in 2005, as far as I'm aware, and support ended just today.

The only major difference between XP Pro and this OS is licensing. This isn't a retail product, and probably requires volume license.

Not gonna make a video about this, really, as it's basically just XP with a bit further support.
Lique WorkEZ

Template:Fictional

The **Lique WorkEZ** is a workstation laptop manufactured by Lique in *Humans, Plants, and Zombies*. It is similar to the Lique Guillotine, but it uses either the Nvidia Quadro or the AMD FirePro as the GPU. It is costlier than the Guillotine, due to sky-high price of workstation GPUs.
