I'm pretty sure those TV doors are also much more effort to open than normal freezer doors, which is probably just wonderful for old and/or infirm people who already have to put effort into opening regular doors at the freezer aisle of the store.

I'm not so sure. The freezer doors like the ones you see there are one of those things where it's a heavy mass balanced very well to make it easy to open and close. When one of those doors gets hosed, you feel it because it's much harder to move. We're just used to the standard detents (closed and then sometimes a sit open position if they need to be filled from the outside) so they feel lighter than they are. Adding a little microcontroller or whatever and a television board isn't actually that much weight comparatively. These videos don't look like the door glass/display is significantly thicker, and the additional weight is also going to be carried in that balance.

It's one of those things you don't think about until you stock frozen sections yourself, how carefully those kinds of doors are installed.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Normal doors are also heavy yet balanced to feel light.

Oh I just love it when hardware has a button to open one specifically program that you're likely never going to use, and is probably going to be discontinued in a few months time anyway. Also like the real out of the way placement for it, not like exactly where you might accidentally press all the time.

Top job again logitech!!!

Yeah that's the one! She was really selling how good the translation was, which was funny because the boss asked her a question in english about it and she didn't understand based on her reply. Shoulda used the mouse to translate...

Getir and Gorillas literally only exist because there were venture capitalists dumb enough to invest

It's an insane idea that has no place in society and it's amusing to see all the "it was an amazing ride!" posts on linkedin from Getir marketers that are being laid off right now

I've used Zoom (the very poorly named same day delivery version of Ocado) for exactly one use case:

-My wife is away so I'm watching the kids myself
-Both kids have gone to sleep
-I've realised I need *something* for the early morning (usually milk or cereal)
-I've used Zoom as I can't leave the kids by themselves to go to the shop, 5 minutes walk away

And since I'm doing an order, I get a few other staples too so I don't need to go to the shop the next day (bread, eggs, bottle of wine, etc)

That's literally the only use case I could ever find for myself. Niche!

The idea was that it could show you advertisements for what's in the freezer, and that the companies whose products were on the shelves would pay for those advertisements. The ability to control what you see - for example, temporarily covering up half the products in a freezer with an advertisement about how good the products in the other half are - is something that marketing departments would happily pay good money for.

For example, imagine if, every time someone walked up to the cooler with Gatorades and Powerades, the Powerades started glowing and shaking slightly to draw your attention to them (and away from their competitors). Or maybe as you're walking down the aisle, the ice cream freezer starts showing animations of the hot sun beating down on people along with a big "Ben and Jerry's ICE CREAM, 30% off, perfect for those hot days!".

The stores figured that the companies whose products were in a given freezer would love the ability to advertise on the freezer door, drawing attention to their products and away from their competitors' products. I'm sure there was a starry-eyed exec who had dollar-sign dreams about every single frozen-food manufacturer getting into bidding wars for more control over their products' freezer doors.

I assumed the endgame for these screens was to replace the price sticker inside the cooler. Surge pricing during rush hour or late at night after all your other options close.

Nope. Cooler Screens' stuff is 100% focused on ads. The closest they get is displaying limited-time sales and season-specific ads.

They don't make any secret of it, either. Their website is full of poo poo like this:

The largest music publisher in the world has sent letters to Google, Microsoft and OpenAI demanding to know if they have used its songs to develop artificial intelligence (AI) systems.

Sony Music, which represents artists like Beyonce and Adele, is forbidding anyone from training, developing or making money from AI using its songs without permission.
Sony Music has given firms a deadline to respond and says it will enforce its copyright "to the full extent permitted by applicable law", such as the EU's upcoming AI Act.

music industry lawyers gonna :commissar:

Although if songs have been used for training I guess they'll have to pay Sony, while individuals who had their stuff scraped of the internet for AI products can keep getting hosed.
