Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....
Yes, this is regularly seen throughout Europe for years.
You can buy such tags in bulk from China, they are very cheap at any scale really (and their use isn’t limited to just pricing).
But yes, I think some EU countries already have laws preventing price changes throughout the day or (to some extend) price differences between eg countryside and cities.
I think there should be an EU directive for this tho.
I was not explaining my logic nor my beliefs, just describing my smol sample (introvert!), as a btw fun fact.
But I was under the impression that there is no distinguishable difference between which OSs use programmes vs non-programmers (and the other way around).
Perhaps bcs I fail to se any specific connection between the two. But yes, my logic would be that both types use and are used by both to roughly the same extent.
(Haha, exactly same experience with relatives - forced them on Linux, never had anything non-trivial to fix since then.)

Exactly, I don’t want an android console, or e-reader (not even a phone actually, but let’s wait for Linux).
If not for such conveniences, I wouldn’t play as much.
I also use the quick insta-switch to the previous game played. And I like that basically any game even played just automatically remains suspended for you to continue at any time (no need for manually saving states, tho you can set shortcuts for that too ofc).
If I would ever be in desperate need of help it would instantly comfort me to see a trekkie or a metalhead. The average wholesomeness is ridiculously high.
Haha, very good point (and those aren’t even all the examples, lul).
And even Tuvix wasn’t there only ‘non-reverse Tuvix’, just the only abomination too horrible for the fabric of reality to ever contain.
It always caused me some pause when thinking how Borg are selective in assimilation and how they even actively discard irrelevant (but already assimilated) data.
But then I remember humans and our “works” … so yes, Borg are smart.
I wish to be assimilated. I’ll complete their meme database in exchange for deleting everything else I can’t delete myself.
That’s my headcanon as well, even if it doesn’t/might not quite fit the lore exactly 100%.
Like, the queen can instantly inhabit any (or all?) advance drone and at the same time a queen can restore the collective if something were to happen to it.
However Im super happy how the Borg queen arc in Picard ended (RIP actress :|), so for that alone I’m ok with a queen.
There are (normal, smart) people that are incapable of understanding it.
And I don’t mean not having enough context to understand it, I mean the simplest things.
I have a college like that. She learned to recognise the blank expression on my face when she immediately starts explaining to me how it was physically impossible for me to do what I just said & just goes “ohh, that was sarcasm probably, right?” … I however still get surprised by her (eg her questioning my morning city commuting abilities of arriving at the office 5 minutes before I left home if I drive fast enough through the traffic … ok, not the best example, but the fucking normal/everyday/intuitive physics of it, how could you even start questioning that?).
On the other hand, I find witty fast sarcasm kinda hot.

… is this like the time they lowered obesity rates by changing the definition of obesity??
And additionally this time they “help” people(s financial situation burdened by high levels of debt) by letting them get even more indebted? Isn’t the central bank supposed to have a say in this (for purposes of market stability as commercial bank regulator)?
Or is financial score something that persists even after all debts are payed? (That’s dystopian af)
Probably that dude: “The D-Fay defence was a failure, the reinforcements were too far away and so many brave warriors were lost to raiders on small sea boats.”
