otoh you have stuff like FreeCAD or OpenSCAD completely free and usable AND you could modify it as you please.

Back then FOSS CAD was barely usable.

Not sure if I'd trust an OS named like a Bond villain.

Also young women had to learn to walk upright in a steady, feminine pose by carrying books on their head without them falling down.

Here's the opposite since gorillas don't walk upright.

that'd be "Döner Kebab", döner being turkish for "rotating".

Traditional german dish brought by turkish immigrants. :-)

"Donner" means "thunder" in german.

Is that relating to some old immigrant tale?

world-renowned, enterprise-level antivirus software running

lol. better just use defender next time.

edit: or not use windows.

You could do some automated/scripted installation VM-image builder thingy and release that. Would probably also save some manual work for you. (bash script fetching install image & run qemu, autounattend.xml, etc. all nicely released on github.) And it'd be auditable.

that'd be an awesome way to spread malware with some VM evasion.

not sure if any 3rd-party windows install should ever be trusted. no matter what usecase.

your own fault. get a nuclear reactor next time d'uh...

I'd like to see the bedbug that survives this. As mentioned elsewhere, this is used by (hopefully) every hospital, elderly home or hotel for worse stuff than bedbugs.

The mattresses leave this thing in a pristine state.

When you refund a mattress they just surface clean it

yuck. I doubt that. It's manual work and far more expensive than a machine.

but getting them dry would be a challenge

seriously? I mean, there is a chance no such service exists in your town. Bad luck then. But there is close to zero chance it doesn't exist in your country.

What do you think hospitals do? (Or good hotels, as mentioned). Source: Worked in an elderly home that used such a service regularly.

Here's an image of such a mattress washing machine.

They work.

That's not true. All mattresses except the cheapest foam ones are washable (they are, too but they might change properties then). But why get a used cheap one?

There are mattress washing services with giant washing machines that are used by hotels. Ask hotel staff to find one.

You can't get rid of most of the build-up.

You actually can get rid of all the buildups. Just like with clothes. Also don't think sellers throw it away when you refund a mattress - they wash it and sell it again.
