It's probably some crazy ancient manufacturing equipment. This is basically what factories look like. Spit, glue, tape, and hacks.

Yep, some kind of old equipment
This was from the CNC subreddit
https://old.reddit.com/r/CNC/comments/1awg376/whats_the_code_to_buy_more_ram/
Maybe that thread has specifics.
Looks like an industrial control system. Back when extra RAM was a premium not only hardware wise but also software licensing.
I work in an industry where you pay for a license to enable a USB port
What industry is this?
Corporate/commercial AV
a major networking equipment manufacturer whose name is the opposite of 'transco' also sounds plausible.
It's at least 3 manufacturers I work with but that's definitely one of them lol
Another is a 3-letter acronym...but I actually do like their products a lot so I don't want to put them on blast
Enterprise equipment still has this stuff all the time.
Want to double the speed? The hardware can do it, but software says no.
You kinda can download more ram, just set the swap file to google drive or something
warning
pls don't actually do this
RAM as a subscription service. When enough ~~slaves~~ people keep buying enough overpriced shit, we'll get there in no time. Let's buy another apple product, another Microsoft OS, another car with subscription functions, watch the 100th hero movie, pay every month for dozens of "services" and keep on consuming blindly. Just don't. And learn instead how to use stuff properly. It's not hard, it's even fun when you start to own more. Start with rooting your phone for example.
