There's already a link to the vid talking about the utter bullshit and corruption surrounding the McD's ice cream machines posted in this thread, but here's a resource I haven't seen posted yet: an online tracker to find out if your local McD's ice cream machine is working or broken right now.

How do they get the data?
iirc it used to get it through a reverse engineering of the McDonald's app api. Not sure about now tho
