    Is this really gore? It’s just a prompt to update Windows. It even tells you right there, this is “normal”.

    It may as well be Hamburg, Germany because of the German word for “Photo” and URL down there but why would they use an English version of Windows?

        Eh… Not really. The average German nowadays knows a few “trendy” English words and maybe even knows how to use them correctly but that’s about it.

          Idk what you average over, but I learned English in school from the first grade over twenty years ago. When I was done with school, I worked as a tutor for it too. At least the youth seems to be getting on with it alright, and in the IT world, a level of English proficiency is expected and in places even required. I can mix in English phrases if I can’t think of the German one and my colleagues understand me well enough.

          Sure, the other person’s “better than native speakers” might be hyperbolic, but English proficiency isn’t as awful as you make it out to be.

          In the particular context of a Hamburg Airport sign, I think the language requirements for working in aviation mean that anyone working there will speak English. I don’t think it’s particularly surprising that their IT system would be configured in English at an intersection between two English-heavy industries.

    My 3 guesses :
    1- in an HamburGer Restaurant located in a duty free zone,
    2- in front of a laptop computer,
    3- inside your body, your choice !
    P.S. : i just noticed the monitor in your photo is near the ceiling…
