        I was just looking into this and I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it before. It makes sense that businesses wouldn’t tolerate that nonsense. Thank you for the life hack, it will be very useful!

      Actually they do. We use them for menu boards all the time. Totally different software in them even.
