AC computers in MLL - some are still there post-covid?

I am old fashioned; I want to use the MLL PC rather than my own personal communication device for surfing the web, doing emails, printing from the computer etc.

What is AC's plan.

A few weekends ago, I saw 2 PCs at the domestic YYZ MLL - confirmed by the lounge agent that the MLL will have 2.
I did not see any PCs in the domestic YYZ MLL.
I do not remember seeing any functional PCs in the YOW or domestic YUL lounge.

So what are AC's plans about PCs in its MLL; post-covid?

To be frank, I would avoid it. The chance of a Trojan or keylogger on a shared computer is orders of magnitude higher than someone intercepting your WiFi connection over a TLS encrypted connection. Using a shared computer is just poor security practice.

I've used them to print stuff but I won't even log in to my own email on them.
I used one of those disposable one time use email services, send what I need to be printed and that's it.

I don't believe anyone in this forum would be able to answer that question.
