It’s going to sound like I’m defending them in some way, which I’m really not because the whole thing is stupid, but they’re not charging for the drinking fountain they’re charging for the cold filtered water, which is going to incur some kind of power and maintenance cost that’s while negligible at scale is beyond the norm. Room temperature tap water is still free here.
Refrigerant and filter systems need to be powered, replaced and maintained, that DOES cost money. What math, if any of substance, was applied on top of that cost to reach the subscription price is debatable. Though perhaps ironically, if they didn’t expect many people to actually bite, then the cost per user would end up being abnormally high.
Obviously it isn’t, if it was there wouldn’t be a user facing cost. The fact this is a private venture basically proves that wherever this is, the municipality or building owner is only committed to providing tap water (which we see here is “free”) the cost is for the extra, private, infrastructure that has been added in order to provide cold filtered water. If you aren’t US, I’ll note that municipal water treatment and filtering vs the more “Britta” level implied here are entirely different and very much a thing for some people.
The problem all around, IMO, is just how extremely broad the term content is. Content can be a complex hour-long video on a subject with amazing editing, or a beautiful piece of artwork, but it can also be a quick selfie at a club or any given platform’s equivalent of shitposting.

Ready to be surprised but I doubt they would leave it on mobile only, bringing it to the desktop feeds into their model for a cohesive brand environment across all your devices.
I’m looking for a simply solution to monitor all my servers and systems using a single dashboard. I want to see metrics like CPU usage, used RAM and storage to see if something is wrong....
Game Pass, I have a friend who is a game hopper, not everything he picks is game pass but enough is, and while I don’t use it as much as I wish I did, the phone and PC cloud play is pretty cool and makes it extra easy to poke at titles I’m curious about fairly quickly and with minimal effort.
I went to a well air conditioned one of these and surprisingly I don’t remember it being a big deal. Looking how people are dressed here though… probably rough.

Well, so as the thing says, I’ve updated the software a lot, comissioned an artist for a logo and now is not a hell to install.
