One sip and suddenly I’m compiling my life choices 💀
It made me take a log dump. Do not recommend.
Mmmm, tastes like FOSS
Must use sudo to drink this slushy
- Sorry management
Mord important question: Why do they all have their own system?
Cost, Parts availability
They’re building them out of cheap SBC with sd cards.
It’s cheaper to put four economy SBC’s in than one computer that can handle 4 displays.
I’m pretty sure its shopped because I’ve never seen a machine with actual displays in it for each flavor lol. They all use paper cut outs.
because computing is a forgotten magic and no one knows how to correctly operate those black boxes
Not American, I assume a slurpee is a piss based beverage?
Close enough

Hol up though…
Is that the Arch flavor or the Fedora flavor? I think that’s important information to have on hand.
All we know is the screen isn’t using HDMI 2.1.
Is there anything those damn media companies won’t screw up? Even my frozen Mt Dew, man.
That’s not bootloader. Init?

I drink Arch btw
Construct Additional Pylons?
I’ll (kernel) panic
Free as in beer
The complexity of modern stuff boggles my mind. Why?
I guess it could make sense to have a small computer in a Slurpee machine to check the temperature and the consistency of the ice, maybe do some maintenance, but yeah. Paper tags would make a lot more sense.
I can see having a single node in the whole machine, but one per mix makes me think this photo is doctored. Then again an esp32 is pretty damn cheap.
Very odd, I’d have thought it’s a single system too, surely there’s a lot of shared signals, like temperature, cleaning and whatnot.
The only reason for those to be individual with another ‘parent’ system is that it would be fully modular?I’d be interested in the actual answer/reason…
Just read through the installation and operations manual, and it looks like you’re right on the modular part. They offer 2, 3, and 4 dispenser models, along with a 1 and 2 dispenser “Multi-Flavor”. From what I can tell they have some other modules in the machine that control different things, as well as a parent module to tie them all together. The machine also tracks how often each dispenser is used, so the owner can know which flavors are popular and overall how profitable the machine is.
The machine has to manage electricity to solenoids, motors, sensors of all sorts, etc, as well as CO2, N2, compressed air, refrigerant, water, and syrup. A lot more complex than I ever thought while getting a slushy.
Be able to change the picture remotely. New flavor? No need to print out a new sticker, remove the old one, and add the new one.
It’s all calories, no flavor.
