Curiosity

"WSB" is abbreviation of "Wyższa Szkoła Bankowa" which means in English "Higher School of Banking" or "Greater School of Banking" (like French Grandes écoles).

gollark: Syncthing has impressively good device discovery, so it would be very neat to have that but just for single-use file sharing and shipped with OSes.
gollark: It might have been driver accursedness.
gollark: Better ones presumably cost proportionately more, but I don't think it's a huge fraction of tablet cost.
gollark: Those really bad Allwinner chips in underpowered tablets are apparently $10 or so each, including power management IC.
gollark: I think last time I had to do *that* I rigged up an awful, awful solution with a WiFi hotspot on my phone, `python3 -m http.server` in Termux, and someone manually putting in the IP address.
