Wait, they're running some kind of SBC for every single flavor instead of backlit plastic panels nowadays? Is the display at least animated?

I'd at least hope so, but yeah this seems like a waste of processing power

Hmm, that looks more like a Linux boot screen - with a failure message. Probably a borked drive.

Bad drive and a subsequent corrupted NFS config. Or just a bad network cable.

EDIT: wait, no. Says Dependency failed for /boot and Dependency failed for Local File System at the top. The NFS stuff isn't corrupted. It's straight up gone.

Yep. It somehow managed to load the kernel and the initial ramdisk, and then died screaming. The parts already scrolled out probably tell a tale of a busted file system.

I like how Lemmy's reaction to a quick shot a of a broken slurpee machine is to quickly and precisely diagnose the problem. And it's interesting to me that this would even be networked.

Camera in the machine assesses who is looking to decide which animation to play to get the attention to the right place to adjust which flavours people choose to ensure proper stock rotation and so they never run out of a flavour. Plus the A/B testing that feeds back to the marketing department to tell them which animations successfully manipulated the choice.

I'm making this up but it's scary that all the technology exists and could actually be true.

2025? Probably just feeds images into facial recognition and sends it to ICE

If you drink it fast enough, you'll feel like you blue screened, but in reality the system will just be temporarily frozen.

That's not a BIOS crash, that's Linux loading :o

Alas, they’re not going to get a blue screen from Linux
