Oh wonderful, I renewed my 6 month subscription last night…

The pay-to-play heated seats always work, though!

Can’t wait to get my $1.53 check in the mail 3 years from now!

But…but…muh “discovery”

It’s not, it just blocks others from tracking you, giving Google a stronger monopoly

Be redneck or alcohol

Or both if you wanna do it even faster

The comparisons to Black Mirror are crazy considering that the show serves to always show the downsides of dystopian tech.

Weird for a self proclaimed marketing company to not know that.

Shit, I’ve been doing it wrong?

What’s the reasoning for this? Are people setting up stalls to make ends meet temporarily or do they get shut down by someone?

I will never understand how the same people that made the Volt and the Bolt made the Hummer EV

It’s such a different style, architecture, and platform that you practically can’t share any parts. So whatever they learned from 10 years of selling EVs went out the window.

I’m so confused why they don’t sell the id4 as a sporty hatchback and call it the GEI or something. It’s the same platform, just tweak the suspension and add some more beefy motors, kinda like the whole idea behind the GTI

But iTs CoNvENiEnT

I used this as a pilot program in Pittsburgh when I lived there. It was a hand scanner running some sort of Android based OS but largely the same thing. You scan your store card to unlock a scanner, scan your stuff as you walk through the store putting things in bags, then you walk to a kiosk, pay, then walk out.

I used to get so many dirty looks from people who thought I was stealing a whole cart of groceries until they saw the receipt print out.

Doing it directly via an app would have been even better!

I say, let them waste their time on me!

But using a real person cost the company more, in theory

One cool thing I’ve found is that you can scan your card on the reader at any time.

I walk up to the machine, scan my first item, tap my card, then do the rest of my scanning. When I hit “done”/“pay” it just processes the card and prints a receipt

Giant Eagle stores in Pittsburgh have self checkouts connected to a full size conveyor belt. Kinda like a normal cashier, but the belt is after the scanner kiosk, not before it. That way you could scan a ton of stuff and have it move out of the way on it’s own.

The rest of that company did dumb stuff, but the scanners were smart!

The theft is a feature, not a bug in my eyes!

Alcohol isn’t so bad where I’m at, I just scan it first to give the worker some time to scan their badge and let me continue

Yes, but farmers also need to know how a CLI works and how to solder microcontrollers in order to get their machines working without forking over their firstborn to John Deere

I was going to say something about AI content, then I noticed it was Reuters and all they really do is say a bunch of facts…
