> Edit: What bothers me the most about this, is that it will actually work. Any surface where eyes may fall on, will be replaced with an ad.

Until someone finds out every screen has the same default password. And a few supermarkets are forced to shut them down because what was displayed was way, way worse than ads...



yeah and now that everything is cloud connected and controlled by a corporate office far removed from the actual stores. I cant wait until thee freezer isle of some national chain starts displaying goatsx on every door some holiday weekend and its hours before it fixed.


I wonder if the screens can be turned off independently of the refrigeration or freezer, in case something like this does happen?


Inshallah.


Not looking forward to goatse when I get a hankering for microwave pizza.


Now, everyone suddenly knowing what the hell is goatse... I think this sounds comparable to how everyone (less) suddenly learned what the hell is Uber.


Some knowledge should remain only with the gurus on the mountain tops.
