 ====== Ticket Validators ======
+Commonly found on public transport systems for the purpose of validating the tickets or passes of entering riders. Some will be found at cultural locations, either at high level (museums, "musical" theaters) or a low level (stadiums, movie theaters). It is presumed that these will often run a Windows CE or Linux variant, on MIPS, ARM, or RISC CPUs.

-Must be controlled with VNC, despite having a video output on the device itself. Latency is minimal, luckily. Obviously, it has an underlying Windows CE system, so the true EOP is running this system and making it “open”.
