If any offered that back in the 80s
Well, I've never seen any like that since, either, so obviously the idea didn't catch on. But it wasn't even an option. You'd tell it how you wanted, and it'd say "would you like your $20 as 4 $5s?" and a next/prev set of buttons.

@JazzyJosh I would have gone with:
Cigars: Mac (Expensive special stuff)
Cigarettes: Windows (Self-explanitory)
Vape: Linux

How do you deposit them back? Every ATM I have ever seen was one way only.
American ATMs all[1] take cash.
[1] That's the ones that are bank-owned. Third-party ones you see in a convenience store or something usually don't.

I just converted it into dollars because I know you Amercans are afraid of anything foreign. Didn't want to put a wall between us.
Now, about that Mexican Hadrian's wall people have been talking about....
@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
Many businesses won't accept anything larger than a $20, and $50 bills are very uncommon
Ditto UK. I could pass a £50 in places that know me, a £100 not so much.
Places that don't know me, £20's are the limit.
Certainly wouldn't get anything other than £10 and £20 out of an ATM (except those that belong to banks that purport to be 'forward thinking' and allow you to draw out natty £5's, which the industry generally stopped automatically telling in their machines.)

Around here, ATMs belonging to your own bank also accept deposits to your own account. ATMs from any other bank or independent company are withdrawal-only (and typically charge a fee for that).

LOB Servers.
What is a LOB Server? Some kind of lobster?
-
@groo No, they throw tennis balls--and sometimes bowling balls. That's why they're called lob servers and not just servers.

@FrostCat I'll just upvote and pretend I understand what you're saying

"to lob" means to throw something in a high arc. "To serve" in sports means "start a round of play by throwing the ball" or whatever--CBA to look up the definition.
LOB probably means Line of Business when tsocky' used it.

Ditto. Though I think you rarely see people using them - most people keep most of their money and do larger transactions by wire, and those who don't will generally not be able to tinker with an ATM either and will just deposit at the bank.
Most ATMs here pay in 50s, 100s and an occasional 200 (roughly $10, $20 and $50 respectively - we're too poor to have bigger denominations). Some will give you 10s and 20s, but you won't know until you explicitly select "type in custom amount", pick something that's not a multiple of 50 and either get your money, or get told off for . And standard amounts are pretty universally multiples of 50s.
No picking how you get the money either - you get a wad of 100s or 200s depending on whether the ATM stocks the latter. If it's feeling generous it might break the last 100 into two 50s,but you won't know that until you get the money either.

Mac = High class hooker who actually has herpes but no one will ever admit it because she's expensiveLinux = Seems fun to the DIY type, but you usually lose the mood and give up after spending four days trying to follow a long-outdated (and incorrect) guide contained in mailing list archives from 1999.
Windows = A solid 4 - 5. Good enough for most. The latest version often breaks off all action halfway through because she decided your condom is out-of-date and she needs to get dressed, drive to the store, and buy the newest kind, and you've lost the mood by the time she returns.
Mac = Costs a fortune, and an a scale of 1 - 10 she's a 12, but her penis is bigger than yours and she has and Hepatitises A - Z. All the cool kids are doing "her" too and think catching hepatitis is a feature.

Status: No wonder the UI for my measuring tools looks like usability took a backseat.
The documentation for the input/output reports states:
Sensor-CASSY 2 and Pocket-CASSY 2 have 64 byte reports instead. If the first data byte equals 63 or less, this byte represents the length of the following valid data. If the first data byte equals 64 or higher, all 64 data bytes are valid data (including the first data byte itself).
Okay, I can live with that. But then there's this:
The "Answer" of 0 (1) and 1(1) is particularly hilarious. Yes, I can figure out what all the stuff means. But that's not exactly the only stumbling point.

@blakeyrat That should be my excuse when I fuck up. My targeting computer runs on Windows and it crashed at the crucial moment!

Win10 spent an hour and a half updating and rebooting yesterday morning. Today it wants to reboot again to finish installing updates. Why the heck didn't it finish when it had already interrupted my work yesterday, instead of interrupting it again today? At least this time it notified me (with a notice in the Action Center — first time I've ever seen that!) and gave me a working option to reschedule.

Status: Installing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update:
Look at the scrollbar to see how far I had to scroll to get to the first feature that didn't require a touchscreen. And it's "hey, voice control system, shut down my computer with no confirmation, ok?"
And the next one is "BASH command line programs in the Windows store", which is sure to annoy @blakeyrat and RMS equally.
And here's a screenshot of the bottom of the feature list:
WOW THAT'S AN AMAZING LIST OF UPDATES! IT SHUTS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER AND INSTALLS LINUX! BEST WINDOWS UPDATE EVER!
