It died in 2019.
REE!
No Google Play or App Store?
Oh, I'm so sorry, no fresh water for you.
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.

Turn off the valve, service call them to bankruptcy.
Smear something gross on the torment nexus button.
I'm sorry, what?
REEEEEE
Those who buy into this shit lose their right to complain that they can't afford to live.
Honestly, I expect nothing less than perfection. On drugs? Death. Playing xbox? Death. $2/mo water filtration? Death. If they just had more willpower, then they wouldn't be homeless!
The guys who replaced public water fountains with plastic bottles are cool though.
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.
