It uses Linux? That’s actually nice to see (but do you really need a full blown OS to show a logo?)
The thing that gets me is that they seem to have a separate machine for each display
I hope the machine is up to the job. I’d pack at least 64 gigs of RAM and a nice GPU.
That doesn’t sound like enough, need at least like 128gb for the ai chat bot that you ask to change the picture for you
I totally forgot about the necessity to put AI into them, I’m so sorry!
easier to buy 10 rpis than a single embedded system with 10 diplay ports
Probably there for “easily changing out logos of different flavor instead of using paper/plastic printout”
Sure but there’s a different machine for each display.
One crashed. The others didn’t.
Im very much a ‘hell, lets take it apart right here and figure out what’s going on’ kinda girl, but this is a sign that i never want to see the inside of that machine.
Every one of them is running a crypominer
At least the cooling is sufficient.
The computer controls the whole machine the logo part is a bonus. It also changes to like a do not use when Its not frozen or out of order.
Probably installed as a unit, computer with monitor. Perhaps a modifed version of a Linux OS?
Now all I want to do is invent a blended cocktail called “Kernel Panic”.
With illegal amounts of alcohol, caffeine, and ketamine
gotta be something with cream(derivative) and citrus.
200ml tequila 400mg ritalin 3mg lsd 3 scoops vanilla(? Need help with the flavor) ice cream 200ml milk or plain yogurt
Salt rim with cocaine and ascorbic acid sip gently.
Kernel panic indeed. 3mg is quite a bit of 'cid, and amphetamines tend to make trips pointy and bad. Tequila might balance it out tho. Lime sorbet for the ice cream maybe?
Nooo don’t! It’s snow crash 😱
That only works on hackers
There were only so many hard edges they could put on the logo before it would crash
Superhero origin story. What powers gained?
They became Freakazoid
Uncontrollable urge to tell people to install Linux.
In the florescent bathroom of food court, nano crouched by the toilet, vomiting his guts up after consuming the kernel-krush slushie.
He thought being the lowest common denominator was bad; used by noob sysadmins and confused interns, until this moment.
The slushie hadn’t tasted right. It was supposed to be “Byteblast Blueberry,” but it had an aftertaste of burnt silicone and magic smoke. Something in it was wrong. nano could feel it rewriting him from the inside.
lines of strange lua code scrawled across the back of his eyelids. His .bash_history was being overwritten. His sense of indentation… sharpened.
As his tremors subsided and the last of the neon goo slid down the drain, he looked up into the cracked mirror. Something had changed.
His terminal font was crisper. His cursor… blinking with authority. And there, under the stall’s flickering light, he whispered:
“…:wq”
Suddenly, the doors of ever bathroom stall flung open in unison, people shit themselves in fear as his inner thoughts wrote themselves onto the walls of his stall.
nano inhaled deeply, as a familiar scent wafted from under the entrance door, and a shadow stretched to the far wall.
“emacs…” He muttered to himself, before the entrance door crashed open. emacs snorted and coughed, this bloated monstrosity, confused for a text editor, was actually an operating system.
“Poor little nano” he chuckled “serves you right for trying to be more than a fuckin’ stepping stone. Why don’t you go hang out with Edge and Bing, you’re about as useful as a clippy themed Chrome extension.”
emacs’ voice reverberated through the tiled chamber like a RAM leak in a core dump. His trenchcoat, stitched from thousands of unreadable .el files, dragged behind him.
neovim exited the bathroom stall, letting emacs bask in his new glory for the first time.
“Fuck off, Emacs. You press seven keys just to copy a line.”
A silence fell across the stalls. Somewhere, a urinal cake cracked.
Emacs stepped forward, snarling. “I’m the past and the future, nano. I’ve got an email client, a music player, a fucking psychiatrist built-in. You? You’re a Hello World that got a pity install”
neovims eyes narrowed, one coloured gruvbox, the other catppuccin as he clenched his first “My name… Is Neo (vim)”
Next time:
neovim & emacs - Battle of the Keybinds
Will neovims LSP destroy emacs s-expressions?
Can emacs remember how to quit in time?
That’s no BIOS. That’s systemd.
Next time take a better picture so we can tell you how to fix it.
I think that if you drink a bunch of it fast enough, you’ll definitely blue screen.
It’s not the bios and they’ll never get a bsod. It’s a damn systemd unit.
The other flavors aren’t worth the empty calories.
BIOS crash though, omg. Best flavor.
MMMMM My favorite flavor, too! Blue Raspberry Pi
