That’s no BIOS. That’s systemd.
It uses Linux? That’s actually nice to see (but do you really need a full blown OS to show a logo?)
Every one of them is running a crypominer
👀 *could be running a cryptominer
Probably there for “easily changing out logos of different flavor instead of using paper/plastic printout”
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
Until it displays porn
Then they get to watch porn while filling out their slurpee. Win win to me.
I mean it would take a dns hijacking to do that and if some has control of your network work like that then you have bigger problems then using FTP
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?
In 2025 we boot a whole Linux system to display a logo.
Does it run Wayland? :P
I’ve never seen one of these, but I assume it performs other functions - surely monitoring sensors, probably reporting that data, maybe allowing triggering maintenance functions, etc.
That said, processing and storage is so cheap on this scale that it’s probably better (and cheaper) to go with a tried and true, widely supported system, than it is to optimize with custom hardware/firmware.
I’ve seen a very similar print out when installing/loading Arch for the first time.
I meant the machine itself! The print out is your typical systemd boot, though they’re usually covered by a distro splash but it can be disabled.
a whole linux system isn’t even all that crazy. if it runs doom it can probably also run linux so probably everything from a potato to a dog’s left testicle can run linux.
Kind of discriminatory, what about the right??
The right potato will work just fine.
We’re not excluding that, it’s between the left testicle and the potato
still windows
Dog’s right testicles are running Java

Wouldn’t be surprised if they ran animated splash.
Hell, wouldn’t be surprised if they started pushing ads through the screens.
I feel like that isn’t that far fetched, considering this machine probably has some sort of Internet connectivity so you can update the labels remotely and do other remote maintenance/monitoring tasks.
We’ve gone from SunnyD to SystemD.
…I’m sorry
This implies every drink and its display is handled by its own computer running linux. Potentially mtndew has a different IP than coca cola.
Internet of Slurp
Not a blue screen… that’s maybe a kernel panic but can’t read it myself.
Blue Slurpee Of Death
Lol I think people are missing the BSOD reference
This is why we can’t have raspberry pi

Doesn’t look identical but it’s probably similar.
Superhero origin story. What powers gained?
Uncontrollable urge to tell people to install Linux.
How often do they change flavors that they need a full blown computer to show the logo, probably downloading it from a remote server, compared to just a backlighted sheet with a printed image?
Have you heard of this fantastic thing called advertising?
Oh yeah baby crash my bootloader!💕 Pump me full of bloatware and make my integers overflow🥵 I want you to leave my USB port dysfunctional for days and my ram displaced come on baby do it make me BSOD!!!😮💨🥵💕💦💦
I hate to break ot to you, but this is a linux drink. All that will you’ll get is a kernel panic
This is better than the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs skit I watched the other day. Love it! 😂
Thank you, I had fun writing it
Bet you can play Doom on it
me when I finish a cherry slurpee
Bad news is “bios crash” has no real flavor and every sip is just raw brain freeze.
There were only so many hard edges they could put on the logo before it would crash
I see this and i unconsciously accept it is my fault
