Why does this produce need a massive digital signage pylon?
They needed to construct additional pylons.
Thanks Judicator Aldaris
You need more minerals
No idea where it's from or what it usually looks like since I just nabbed this off of Facebook, but my guess is to display ads, or perhaps some slo-mo videos of fresh fruit being tossed in an appetizing manner in an attempt to trigger your Pavlovian reflex to buy some of those oranges.
Couldn't find any pictures of that particular setup operating under normal conditions, but here are some similar ones to give you an idea:
The question is, why does it run on Linux and not Apple
Perhaps it runs on a Raspberry Pi?
Or orange pi. Banana pi.
The best thing I learned when writing this comment (because I know there are other fruity labeled pi computers) is that you can look up “other fruit pi” and actually find results. Semi-relevant ones. (I use ecosia, not google/bing/askjeves, so ymmv)
I was in a hotel where there was an AV input on a TV which just showed the screen of a Raspberry Pi. If I remember correctly it was running XFCE.
Not sure why that was because the TV channels worked correctly.
Because it would be expensive, just look at the price of the Lime /s
Why would it run on a fruit?
Yes! Potatoes are the way, as our ancestors taught us!
So, an HP laptop?
Mine is an ancient Thinkpad, the true weapon of our Lord!
And not Windows*
Macs are not worth it for stuff like this.
Because flashy screens work on dumb lizard brains
Well ya. That is why were are here in this thread right now. But also having a sign you can change easily is probably also useful.
Big Fruit is going to control our minds and enslave us all. If only they could get the interns to configure their shitty Linus distro.
Do you really want an explanation for why a market might want large signage that they can change without much extra labor? Seems self evident to me.
You could've just said:
So they can change the signage without much extra labor.
Wouldn't be a Linux community without extra spice though
Do you understand the meaning of the word "need?"
Greed?
Advertising, easier to see prices
To attract bugs there instead of the food.
But that's where the food is.
I know, but they will be on the screen instead of the food.
The lamps are not enough.
