A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This thing should go out the same way digital doors did at Walgreens. In the trash.

They’re the worst. The Walgreens near me has them and if they’re not completely broken, the data on the front of them is entirely wrong. You have to stand there with the door open, wasting electricity, just to figure out which drink you want.

This sounds even more frustrating than digital menu boards that instead of just being digital to be able to update easily rotate screens quickly where you have to wait through multiple cycles to read it.
