@Unionhawk I wonder why this sounds familiar...
hmm....

Josef Mengele
Josef Mengele (; German: [ˈmɛŋələ]; 16 March 1911 – 7 February 1979) was a German Schutzstaffel (SS) officer and physician in Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. He performed deadly human experiments on prisoners and was a member of the team of doctors who selected victims to be killed in the gas chambers. Arrivals that were judged able to work were admitted into the camp, while those deemed unsuitable for labor were sent to the gas chambers to be killed. With Red Army troops sweeping through Poland, Mengele was transferred 280 kilometers (170 mi) from Auschwitz to the Gross-Rosen...

The argument was so heated it set off the bullet
They were wrestling over the gun per the article but that would imply someone was attempting to use said gun 🤔

@Unionhawk how tf is this legal?
 
Unionhawk
Unionhawk
because wage theft is just regular
It's super easy to claim that workers are tipped to save 4.40 per hour
In wages that you technically have to make up if they're, you know, not
gestures broadly at that not happening

@TimStone so.... How is this different from normal

@Ash It does some special processing to get super sharp images or something? Which is kind of cool, I guess? But something I'd probably actually need like 0% of the time
@Ash It's about him, now!
 
user15026
@TimStone oh right that makes sense okay carry on how far I question such an obvious thing
 
user15026
@TimStone yeah it seems like one of those okay cool tech but will anyone actually notice/care to use it

Yeah, especially in a $700 phone. Not that phones aren't absurdly expensive, but I'm curious if they've made trade offs to shove all of those in there
Urgh, yeah, it's only a Snapdragon 845 for starters. Does have an in-display fingerprint sensor which is nifty, but looks like no rear one which I've found more convenient personally
Local @Walgreens replaced their clear freezer doors with digital displays that tell you what's inside the case. Wh... why

user15026
@TimStone yeah, having the rear one on my pixel makes me happy, it just is easier for me to manage when my hands are being stupid about being hands
 
user15026
@TimStone what why what was wrong with the fucking window
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
I DON'T KNOOOOOOOW
I asked if it's interactive, that might make the tiniest bit more sense?
 
user15026
Maybe but what sort of interactivity would be better than see thing open door fish out frozen thing keep doing
 
user15026
Like not everything needs fancy tech! A door with a window is perfectly good here.
 
Tim Stone

Like if this improved accessibility for reading ingredients or something then maybe, but I a) doubt it does that b) 100% you open the door and the item is out of stock

@TimStone it's more about light sensitivity as far as I understand. Three of the cameras are monochrome, so they're better at low light, and they're adding up all five images in some way.
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Ah, right, right
 
user15026
@TimStone exactly lol

Someone stop the technologists
@Ash I guess there is a little benefit for the employees at least, in that they don't have to hold the door open and freeze their hands off replacing the mylars with the prices every week >_>
Actually no
I'm sure those are still inside, because of course
Oh my god
@__apf__ @Walgreens They're serving you targeted ads via facial recognition 🤦 https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/2/7/18215629/walgreens-cooler-screens-frozen-food-eye-tracking-ads (made by https://www.coolerscreens.com/ )

@TimStone This is probably something like the screen being a potentially better ad for the stuff inside, it ensures you can always clearly see the full label. And they might add some moving stuff or so. Probably still a very dubious benefit, and just outright stupid in some way

@TimStone What kind of store are you going to that they need to replace price tags every week?

@Nzall store sales?

@Ash Here in Belgium at the Delhaize, they just glue them to the window
Also, somehow I think that having always-on electronics in the door instead of well insulating glass is not exactly good for the climate
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
@Nzall They just frequently change prices, for whatever reason, often sales like @Ash mentioned. My fiancee used to work specifically at this chain of stores and they had to replace prices in various parts of the store at least weekly
 
Nzall

@TimStone In Belgium, they just have electronic price tags they can control remotely
 
Tim Stone

Yeah, that makes more sense to me

They also have a a self-scanning system that's very fun to use: you scan your member card at the entrance and get a scanner Then you can just scan whatever you wish to buy and put it directly into your shopping bag. Then when you get to the exit, you just plug the scanner into the receptacle and scan your card again. it processes everything, you then just scan your coupons, maybe ask the standby clerk to remove some clam packaging, pay and simply leave
short video that shows how it works
 
Tim Stone
Tim Stone
Huh, interesting
 
Nzall
Nzall
It's really well thought out. They even made the processing of the things you scanned seem slower than it probably is to account for the human misconception that if something's instant, it didn't work properly.
 
user15026
@Nzall Huh, thats neat
 
Nzall
Nzall
They also considered things like theft etc: when you get to the end, there's a chance you must get part or all of what's in your shopping cart validated against what's on your scanned items list as a check against theft

This story is insane. A mechanic witnessed the aftermath of a robbery, and his statements were in charging docs. Someone, likely a judge, accidentally sent them to all case parties. The main suspect made bail, found the mechanic and executed him https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/02/22/court-official-failed-click-box-witness-paid-with-his-life/?utm_term=.abe203308fe2
