Volk! Volk! Volk! As large, inexpensive LCD displays become more and more common, on-the-go technicians are finding that IoT signage silage is a constant. But if your name is Mr Biz Daemon, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
discoverer register Reader Ian Thompson, An example of today’s technology woes is the Festival Place electronic billboard in the town of Basingstoke, UK. A pop-up will appear warning you that Biz Daemon is not responding.
Assuming the image is Mr. Demon, which may not be the case, he has an annoying wheeled car on the wall that doesn’t fit neatly into an aircraft’s overhead locker due to the wheels going up and down the street. Looks like it’s sitting next to a suitcase. Anytime day or night.

Wearing sunglasses and an unbuttoned shirt, Mr. Damon doesn’t care about anything except where to find a decent pair of socks. Otherwise, while stylish, those shoes can cause severe chafing.
Biz is an interesting name. Perhaps it stands for Barry? Or, more likely this, Biz Daemon is just the name of a background process that stops responding to the operating system and makes remote administration impossible. Our best guess is that Biz Daemon is something like AirDroid Business Daemon that is installed on devices managed by AirDroid Business, a device management platform.
However, like the person depicted in the ad, Damon did not respond to inquiries from administrators and chose to lie down. If you have an Android that looks like it’s sitting on a poolside wall in the sun, this daemon will do it for you and do what it does.
Our readers said Festival Place reminded them of the Fortune City Mall from the classic PlayStation and PC survival game Dead Rising. This may seem a bit harsh, but when it comes to the zombie apocalypse, the besieged shopping center is a popular metaphor – George A. Romero’s 1978 film Dawn of the Dead is a prime example. is.
If you’re looking for zombies and Basingstoke, it’s worth noting that Old Basing, just east of Basingstoke, was a filming location for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Or live your life like a Biz Daemon. Sit against the wall. Place an annoying wheeled case next to it to trip up unwary passersby. And stop reacting to the world. ®
