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.
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!
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.
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.
What a horrible design to require an individual computer for EVERY screen. JFC just have one device run multiple displays.
Why not just do a sticker there? What an inefficient approach!
Sticker requires transport, inefficient as shit relative to a file download.
As if the sugar water inside teleports there through a mere downloading deployment via Ansible.

Plus, I hear the systemd flavor is pretty good.
God I remember buying an RPi for less than 10€ this company really screwed up their product.

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.
Nah, storage is fried.

Oh yeah youre right, I was squinting real hard to try and read that on on a phone and was only looking at the bottom

They make display boards with modular numbers of outputs.
Coca cola runs windows
I imagine they have an embedded raspberry pi type computer in the screen itself.
