I think I’ll take one home.
I wonder if you can install Linux on it?
I’ll make it dispense AOL CDs from the 90s
Seems like it could be converted to a vending machine pretty easily if you could add your own OS
Already has security, waterproofing, payment processing stuff, and a screen to choose your item.
Just have to completely reconfigure everything physically and digitally. Or, sell something the size of a cd?
Oh hey, what about... movie rentals? That would be cool. No one does that anymore.
You could use it to sell decorative coasters.
I was talking to one of the repair guys working on one near me and he told me they already ran Linux, so they’re one step ahead of you
