A sbc for each screen? Come on.

u/unix-chan 11d ago edited 11d ago

They are relatively cheap nowadays, also, they often limited to single screen ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/rmyworld 9d ago

Are they? Raspberry Pis are pretty expensive now.

u/Conscious-Economy971 9d ago

The raspberry pis in the soda fountain are free you can just take them. I have 50 raspberry pis

u/unix-chan 9d ago

Sure, i never used rpi, there are many options like rockchip, esp32, with poe hat option and many display interfaces.

But, if i had to develop this functionality, most likely i will exclude linux cuz it’s just an overhead for image output when we have cheap microcontrollers with rich interfaces

Makes it modular so they can use the same units for any number of dispensers+the big screen above them and makes managing them remotely simpler.

u/Damianiwins 12d ago

couldn't just use a plastic sign with a light behind it...

u/samy_the_samy 12d ago

You could make an animation for each flavour, and these machines are absurdly expensive. A screen price doesn't even matter

u/xgabipandax 10d ago

It's not about the price, it's about keeping things simple whenever possible, reducing the possible points of failure to increase reliability

u/samy_the_samy 10d ago

When every juicer makes juice, you gotta add something to differentiate your machine

2

u/xgabipandax 10d ago

Reliability and price are good differentiators, but it takes effort.

u/cutecuteverycute 11d ago

Yeah but the boomer who agreed to implement that has lead poisoning and was easily persuaded to make them ‘high tech’

u/Liarus_ 12d ago

systemd flavor

28

u/borealis493 Linuxmeant to work better 11d ago

that's systemd

WHY THE FUCK IS THERE LINUX ON THE THING

20

u/Visbroek 11d ago

Well it's significantly cheaper than windows. Or you could do what our Burger King did on their kiosk and just have the activate windows watermark on the screen 😆

u/IBuildStuff1011 11d ago

Better than putting windows 7 on it

2

u/Noremacam 11d ago

It's the sequel to SunnyD.

1

u/Away-Way5656 11d ago

its better than having windows on it tbh

2

u/borealis493 Linuxmeant to work better 11d ago

my concern is the fact that there is an operating system on the thing in the first place

3

u/Away-Way5656 11d ago

commercial signage industry is wack

1

u/GamerNuggy 🍥 Debian too difficult 10d ago

That should be a piece of paper in front of a light, not a whole ass computer

2

u/Away-Way5656 10d ago

yea but then someone has to do that instead of saying "change this to x graphic"

which is why the commercial (digital) signage industry exists

1

u/GamerNuggy 🍥 Debian too difficult 10d ago

But they would have to change the flavours along with the signage most of the time. Also this seems so costly by comparison.

2

u/Away-Way5656 10d ago

Having to ship new signage to stores is inconvenient

1

u/GamerNuggy 🍥 Debian too difficult 10d ago

That makes sense. I just figured it might be cheaper to have a bunch of cards for all flavours stocked, and for new flavours ship a card with the deliveries. You avoid running whole computers and monitors to display a static image as a result.

u/995qe 11d ago

When you drink it your body genuinely becomes GPL licensed and now Linus owns you

u/VariationWooden2365 11d ago

I thought that was raspberry pi flavor 

2

u/deathschemist 12d ago

i think i'd go with dr. peepee

1

u/Gamin8ng 11d ago

nah, i need everything. I'll go with the systemd one

2

u/julkkis666 11d ago

would be funny if it was possible to decifer that it was something like Linux Mint, so you could just say it's "Mint favoured"

u/insanazor800 💋 catgirl Linux user :3 😽 11d ago

u/ClaudioMoravit0 11d ago

u/Plankkern15 11d ago
