         | GPT-4V writes: This image appears to be a screenshot of a
         | control interface for an industrial process, possibly related
         | to heating or temperature control given the presence of
         | thermometers and temperatures in Celsius. The left side of the
         | interface has graphical representations of what might be ovens
         | or furnaces with temperatures at various points. There are also
         | labels such as "Liva" (left) and "Prava" (right), indicating
         | different sections or sides of the process.
         | 
         | The right side includes a control and status section with
         | buttons and indicators. The "Zavdannia" field suggests a set
         | temperature or task temperature, but it's currently set to
         | 0degC. The time and step settings seem to be related to process
         | timing, and there are counters for total time and remaining
         | time. The process indicators at the bottom are showing the
         | status, such as "V roboti" (in work), "Zupineno" (stopped), and
         | "Zaversheno" (completed).
         | 
         | The date and time at the bottom indicate when this screen was
         | last interacted with, and there are buttons for navigation or
         | functionality, such as settings, graph, programs, and logs. The
         | interface is in Ukrainian.

       | This is both funny and scary. A quick look through some of them
       | reveals (no links on purpose):
       | 
       | - Some UI in Swedish to control the heating system (+warm water)
       | of two houses - A host where the username and password are
       | written in clear text with a gentle message of "use sudo to gain
       | root access" - somebody's browser logged onto something that
       | looks like a crypto mining sys. - an homeassistant prompt, ready
       | for control..
       | 
       | As usual the IoT dominates and many open systems seem to be
       | related to some visualisation or control.

       | I found one that looks like a CNC Router control interface,
       | having that exposed to random hackers is not only a security

       | Thinking aloud: It makes me want to put up a VNC honeypot for
       | fun. I've got a KVM switch that supports VNC that I ought to
       | expose to the Internet. Plugging-in a vintage PC w/ no network
       | interface card and a wacky operating system might be interesting.
       | I guess I'd just capture the VNC traffic to watch the action.
       | Hmm... now I have to research playing-back captured VNC sessions.
       | 
       | Edit: https://github.com/thijzert/vncreplay looks promising.

       | Man, this is just nuts. There are so many screens I'm looking at
