At least it's not too grubby

Oh hell ya! Linux boot screen is my favorite flavor.

Why exactly does this need to run a full OS?

Start plasmashell

Systemd having a special it seems

Technically that’s a bootsplash, which also works better for branding purposes.

They didn't enter the machines date of birth...

Call the slurpadmin.

"Tastes like wires."

Gay sex. /j

(Wishful thinking)

Probably so they can easily swap out flavors or mark OUT or OUT OF SERVICE, etc

Boot

that seems, inefficient

That was pretty close to my first thought, too

mount

Imagine having an old Slurpee machine Kubernetes cluster

That storage is riding the struggle bus

Lemmy moment

Its the underlying filesystem

Define full OS

What a horrible design to require an individual computer for EVERY screen. JFC just have one device run multiple displays.

Excuse you I'm on piefed >.>

This is what happens when you don't drink your verification slurpee before getting another slurpee

Mmm tastes like system service failure

Why not just do a sticker there? What an inefficient approach!

Under where?

Might be a single computer that's just the primary display.

Nothing in that boot sequence is a deal breaker it's just missing an Internet connection I think.

Ads.

Maybe a button or two to initiate the machine cloaca to piss into the cup?

One Hannah short of perfection.

Instant brain freeze. Followed by death.

I bet the actual logo display is a full screen browser too, multiple computers each running chrome just to display ads.

Why not use a sticker and a backlight instead of a whole ass pc?

Adverts, sooner or later

sudo rm -rf that shit into my stomach.

Adverts, sooner or later

Every public-facing surface will be ripe for adverts. Previews of it at gas stations in the US, and nearly everywhere in countries like Philippines.

You're right - but at least for now they're advertising Linux 😀

I imagine they have an embedded raspberry pi type computer in the screen itself.

Nah, storage is fried.

People always focus on systemd whenever this is posted, but all systemd is saying is that it can't read the service files when it tries to start something. Earlier on the kernel is complaining about I/O errors as well.

A raspy W is like 20 bucks each, and has a tiny footprint. Cheaper than the screen itself probably, and simpler than having to reconfigure the amount of displays based on available flavors in the setup.

Plus, I hear the systemd flavor is pretty good.

The entire screen is already an advert.

Ah but they don't get paid extra to show it, by having a screen they can get paid by other companies to advertise for them

God I remember buying an RPi for less than 10€ this company really screwed up their product.

The only Raspberry Pi cheaper than 10€ is the Raspberry Pi Zero (no wifi) that launch at 5€/$5, the Raspberry Pi Zero W (with wifi) launch at 10€/$10, both in 2015. Raspberry Pi 1, 2 and 3 launched at 35€ and since the 4 and 5, it's a bit more complicated because they have different RAM options. Today, the RPi4 1GB is sold 37,90€. Availability is more of an issue. But in terms of pricing it's not bad ! I have the feeling, people's expectations for a Raspberry Pi are a bit distorted. No, you don't get a top of the line gaming PC for 40€... But even a RPi2 is still good for a tone of useful projects!

To show animated things and different flavours when they change without changing the sticker

Whenever you change the product or the visual of it is changes, you change the sticker, this is automatic.

If I were to make these devices I would make it so that changing the BiB to different flavor would automatically change the screen.

Usually take a GNOME all over the toilet seat.

I'm just glad slurpee machines run on Linux and not Windows CE. 😌

If every single dispenser is a self contained unit, which then is put together in groups of how many different kinds of drink you need? That seems cheaper than having each group of dispensers individually built because all displays have to be wired up to a single computer. This way a single dispenser can be replaced quickly without needing a technician to come or replacing the whole thing.

wait till you see electronic price tags. adverts and price gouging per person
