but tbf that costs money.
cooling down takes a lot of electricity and filters need replacement pretty frequently and they're not cheap.
doesn't justify a fucking subscription tho, this shoud just accept like a coin per cup or something
Remember the fountains we had back in middle school? If I could pay 2$ a month to get water from a fountain that the grossest kids in school didn't stick their mouths around, I probably would
I honestly don't have a problem with this so long as the tap water is clean and drinkable. Everyone should have free access to clean drinking water. If it has to be filtered and chilled to a crisp cool temperature for you to drink it? Yeah, you can pay for that. That's a luxury.
Refrigeration takes energy and filters produce waste so I see it as fair charging a price for convenience.
I don't quite understand the issue here. The tap water is still free and doesn't require anything, just press the button. They added an extra feature that is paid, which requires maintenance and power to run. I can see how it could be paid by the venue hosting this device, but you can't really blame the provider.

Kinda reminds me of paying to use the bathroom in Germany. Is that still a thing?

No Google Play or App Store?
Oh, I'm so sorry, no fresh water for you.
You know what's beautiful about capitalism?
You, the consumer... you can control the producer. How? By NOT investing into their products and services.
Until next time!
You know what's even more beautiful about capitalism?
When national (and multinational) legislation sets extremely high standards for drinking water providers. So high, in fact, that tech bros just go "you know, I have no idea how to improve on that". So they don't launch their shitty product here in the first place.
Until next time!

The best part about this is that the thumbnail makes the device like a face that's very fed up with this shit.
Smear something gross on the torment nexus button.
