New tipple?
Badgers Old Bork?
Beer and bork: two of our favourite things here at Vulture Central. And also, it seems, at the Co-Op. In this instance, digital signage that would normally be advertising delicious beer brewed in the Cotswolds (a charming part of the UK) is revealing that the retailer – or, more likely, whoever is responsible for the screens …

With the team viewer icon being on in the background I'm tempted to believe it probably has some form of internet connection. Probably behind a proxy of some sort.
Also its an endpoint solution, I would assume Eset would have something within the company itself like most other AV's (I use Eset myself but only for personal use).
Just have a clean OS image to start from, close all incoming ports, have an agent installed on the machine running the display that regularly fetches signed billboard updates on an internet facing web server, authenticating with the web server using a client certificate.
Bam, best security, no AV, no VPN, the billboard will update as long as it has sometimes some internet connectivity.
Badger brewery, Blandford St. Mary, Dorset.
>>Either way, it doesn't sound very appealing.
Au Cotraire. My all time favourite one of theirs is Tanglefoot - a well kept keg of that (hard to find.. it's a finnicky beer and hard to keep well; probably why you tend to find it in bottles & cans!) is absolutely scrummy.
They used to do (still do? I duunno moved away so not really looking any more) several on trend ales - peachy, gingery, session style etc. which ranged from "why?" through "hmmm not bad" to "almost as nice as Tanglefoot"
They are, incidentally, the manufacturers of Panda Pops as well - the forever reasonably priced sugar/sweetner in a can/bottle beverages.
It's rather annoying that every fucking app that needs updating thinks it's OK to put a bloody great window over the top of whatever else is running to remind you that you simply MUST spend some more money with them. I'm sure there must be some less intrusive methods available. In particular, this is an instance of a corporate app so it's probably expired across their estate. There's no need whatsoever for the users to be informed. There's nothing they can do about it. The responsibility (and the blame!) lies with whoever is responsible for maintaining the corporate licencing.
