Those screens look like the stupidest thing ever, and just another example of tech industry brain-rot. We already have excellent tech to see what's inside a cooler: it's called a window. Why replace a simple, functional solution like that with some monstrosity that needs power, data feeds, and development/tech support?

- dowager_dan99 2y agothis is such a small part of that though: posting the current price. Still needs to tie into the entire POS system. It's also for products that don't really show very elastic pricing, so not sure how much surplus there is here.

- drawkward 2y agoBecause of the ad industry brain rot.
