How do they use the keyboard wearing straitjackets?

i would bet that this is an employee at work there, using a company computer on company time. i see visits from big companies and organizations, and also government agencies all the time.

Yes... it is a browser, not a bot.

I would be very surprised to hear that psychiatric patients are allowed use of computers, or any kind of internet access, at all. Psych wards can be stricter than prisons. (This is literally true.) But Bellevue is a big place. Plenty of hospitals do have wifi. Saves having to wire up every spot that a medical professional could possibly stop and need to look something up, and it's one less cord to trip over.

I guess the question is: why and how is the machine's location injected into the UA string? Do they all pass through some kind of proxy?

[keyplyr]

Since they run the /20 maybe they have their own intranet with a UI (browser skin) that displays in remote server logs that way.

But yeah, almost everything is a type of proxy.Your own computer's local network likely connects to the internet using a proxy.

Now if the browser said ECT... that would be shocking!
