Tell me what are they doing?

Lan party without AC or maybe a Millennial Orgy and they are looking for instructions

Click farm?

Nah it's porn. They're watching porn

That's the StackOverflow office

Looking at the screens and computers the first question that comes to mind is how old is this photo?

@Commodore Looks like they're using XP.

Look at middle left and it looks like the nostalgic home screen.

@Commodore at least 2003

Now that's a sweat shop.

Some of the cases looks absolutely ridiculous, even at low resolution.
Top right you have something which could be heads of C-3PO

I'm not sure you got the full scale of things, so let me expand on that and give you the bigger picture ;)

This was back in the nineties, people gathering around to create a Geocities site. You can tell this by the under construction signs in the crowd.
Good old times.

The real question is, when do invitations for the next one go out?

@iRant @Flygger This was not in the 90s, it was the Campus Party in Valencia in 2004, with about 4500 gamers/hackers/devs/etc.

See that girl in the white shirt?

I was there as well, drove to Spain with a friend, trunk full of computer. Although don't think I'm in the photo. Played a lot of Counter Strike, tried to install Linux on a supermassive Thinkpad laptop.

@bittersweet that's fucking cool dude

Sucks I missed this time of the computer era.

Foreign country mass customer support shop

Looks like an orgy

Another PiedPiper ... in China

No phones. Just people living the moment

@Niss Haha if the moment is modded CS maps, Half life 2 and Doom 3, watching bad quality 420p DvD rips. And Windows XP everywhere, with VLC and winamp, very few people with flat screens, etc. I remember burning a lot of DvDs on Lan parties like these, lots of cracked games and TV series.

Also I did have a phone there, a Siemens S65 phone, with a camera and some games. I remember because I had an insane bill calling from Spain back home to NL 😁

Registering on PiedPiper, uploading a file, repeat

Debugging my code

Upwork offices

Judging by the condition of Skype, the Microsoft migration team.
