This is being produced in relatively low numbers (thousands) , so software development is a factor. Just plopping a scripted browser in kiosk mode on Debian is cheaper than ESP32 UI development.

It wpuld only take me about a month or someone competent a couple days to write this. I kbow there's libraries to display, but i don't know what else this is monitoring/controlling. So that seems safe,
So there's a computer hardware cost that goes from ~5x(4?) Per machine to ~45x4 per machine. That's ~ 2 hours of code per machine difference that this would make, assuming you were paying ~80/hr to write it, which is reasonable.
Even assuming no code was needed for the pi, production takes twice as long as expected, and electricity costs don't matter (which, next to the condenser; they may not) you break even at ~16 machines. 20 if you want to throw in some other random arbitrary cost.
Even if you assune pi 0's, at, what 20/each? You still break even before 100 units.
So it would take less than a hundred machines for smaller chips to pay off. I'd believe an exec didnt (even ask someone else to) do this math, but how long have pi's had multiple video out's?

Man it's so crazy how many small computers are around us. Just a few years ago that would have been a plastic label they swapped out when needed.

And it still should be.
Cause its stupid. This is even dumber than walgreens replacing freezer doors with LCD screens that don't let you see whats inside.

Kind of discriminatory, what about the right??
still windows

And it probably should be. We could even have a set of small plates embedded somewhere for quick swapping on demand.
I like computers, but having an individual computer to run a single drink display really is overkill. At least use one to drive all the labels simultaneously, if you still want the ability to display nifty animations of liquid flowing above the actual liquid actually visibly flowing.

yeah, that is the most f'd up thing, I saw it at a travel plaza, it looks like the fever dream of some tech mogul's kid that they just sink money into because they're infatuated with it.

They're probably paying a dollar or two for a esp32 at volume. When one fails a tech probably just throws the old one away.
tween this and the e-ink pricetags on merchandise...

Esp32 probably doesn't have a bios crash. My bet is a raspberry pi

We’ve gone from SunnyD to SystemD.

This is why we can't have raspberry pi

Doesn't look identical but it's probably similar.

Not a blue screen... that's maybe a kernel panic but can't read it myself.

Bad news is "bios crash" has no real flavor and every sip is just raw brain freeze.

Exactly. This implementation makes no sense. Unless the logos are animated, need to change frequently, or supposed to show advertising (I hope not), a backlit plastic label would do the same job just fine. In fact, that has done the same job for decades at this point.

its some serious cyberpunk 2077 shit.
I can see someone slinging a cyberdeck pinging a drink machine to infiltrate the LAN.

It uses Linux? That's actually nice to see (but do you really need a full blown OS to show a logo?)
So working on ad machines before a lot of them connect to an external ftp site to pull down the latest version of the logo. Things like this you don’t care if it’s secure or not

It's failing storage, top half of the display is EXT4 complaining it can't read the SD card, bottom half is the result of that, services can't start.
