On a recent trip to the law library, I opened LexisNexis and typed “AI” in the search field: 1,777 results popped up in the New York Law Journal. Pro se litigants are up against district attorneys equipped with A.I.– enhanced research and motion drafting tools at their fingertips. We don’t even have Microsoft Word.

      Does OnlyOffice run on Swintec typewriters? How many people are going all-in on not reading the article today?

          You’re not completely wrong, as they also have thin clients which should be technically capable of running a word processor. It’s just a question of whether the prison is going to implement that no/low-cost solution.

        reading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn’t the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?

        The typewriter obviously wouldn’t have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user’s input?

        If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM’s Bundling

          There is no application. It’s a literal typewriter. It takes a key press and stamps it on the paper.

            gods

            I thought at worst it’d be a typewriter with a vga or ps2 hookup but this is worse than I thought

            having to use that and only that means you’re gigafucked💀
