      The thing that gets me is that they seem to have a separate machine for each display

      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.

          Depending on how much is linked up between them its entirely possible each machine is basically independent from each other and simply sharing the same casing. The advantage of this would be that even if one machine goes out or is having issues the other ones hopefully aren’t. I watch enough Bringus to know that shit under the hood for these commercial machines are fucking weird.

      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.

      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
