Did America get that upgraded self checkout shit yet? If you don't do the scan thing it flags an employee to come and investigate an action replay on the screen of what you did.

I was trying to scan a gift card barcode for someone and it involved peeling back a paper strip. Needless to say I screwed it up and left part of it covered so it wouldn't scan. I put it on a display next to the checkout (not in the scanned area) and everything shut down [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The anti-theft technology is getting wild.

Bet there's a lot of Ring doorbells in your area lol

Yep! One time I grabbed something with my opposite hand, when I had been using the other hand the entire time before. For some reason using the opposite hand this time caused a brain fart where I dropped it into my bag without scanning it

The “You Fucked Up - Attendant Called” screen came on. And this super nice dude with a beard came over and unlocked the screen. And it showed a video of my theft. I apologized profusely and it happened to be a small cheap thing so that helped line up. He knows me from seeing me there dozens of times so he was like no prob. But the guy is so damn nice I coulda probably said hey I need to get like 3 diff things on the house and he woulda found a way

But it was crazy that it could detect all that. And put me on blast to the staff

Oh last thing before I go to bed. That same grocery store attendant says the same thing on the like 4 different occasions where one of their items (usually some pre-cooked, pre-cut meats like chicken) has no sticker

He’s nice and possibly lazy, so every time he says to me “how much do you think it is?” And that’s a tough question. I appreciate it but actually stress a little over it because I have no idea. I will say something like “well it’s meat in this economy so $400”. And then he puts $4.00 or something lowball

Yeah but the smash and grab trend started about a year later, so they all got shut down.

Amazon's no-checkout flop shows AI's limits

Our government still accomplished getting rid of a company pushing propaganda on US soil causing what would have been difficult to control during conflicts, war and more.

Lets not forget that it was originally the orange cheeto that wanted the clock app gone.
Before the Boris troll bots, the community organized and Teen clock app users and K-pop fans who teamed up to successful prank the Orange Cheeto at his Tulsa rally. He announce, he had more than 1 million tickets & people attending his free rally. It wasn't anything like that. It shamed him pretty well.

Best thing about the China Pinterest / Instagram app is they will not tolerate the crimson angry cult. After all you can't spell 'hatred' without 'red hat.'

Even better the US can now shut off the connection from the US to China servers pretty easily at anytime. They couldn't do that to servers on US soil.

The clock app will most like be forgotten like RTnews.

Long live Blue Sky and soon Neptune!

I have to comment on this because I can’t believe it is even causing a firestorm of debates online

You DO NOT start a fight with some drunk asshole who is trying to goad you into a fight. I don’t care if it’s about some hurty words towards your wife, your little kid, or your God. You WIN when you walk away from a drunk asshole trying to start a fight. Every time that’s a WIN

I can’t believe there’s tons of dudes out there saying “nah bro, you gotta stand up for your wife and fight”. You fight if the person is doing anything physical to your wife yes. But over some hurty words?? Are you kidding me?

Let’s explore how that could go:

- You win the fight but lose big in court. You will 100% be seen as starting that fight because the other person just used words. “Fighting words” to my knowledge only has legal application when they are used in some states to attempt to challenge a cop to violence. Someone tossing insults and then you fight them…you still started that fight. So now what? You get a nice felony charge if you beat them up bad enough and can’t vote or own a gun now for the next decade? Yay! But at least you defended your wife’s “honor”

- You start a fight and he had a gun or a knife. Now you’re fucking dead. But at least you defended your wife’s “honor”

There’s some bro’s saying that anyone who doesn’t fight would have their wife leave them for being a “pussy”. I’d attempt to explain myself and if she still wanted to leave, there’s the fucking door baby! I am all about protecting women but I am not going to be a moron about how I do so, not for any gal

Now would I just say “cool” and do nothing like he did? Nah. I’d probably fire some hurty words back. Not with the goal of starting a fight but more because I would be pissed and probably not in complete control. If THOSE words started a fight, well, at least then I would be spared culpability due to all the people who would likely film it

100% true. Patricians do not act like the barbarians. There's no need to caedite eos when you're trying to watch a ball game.

Thank you! I couldn’t believe I was seeing more in the “fight” camp. We are doomed…

And fighting over football? Come on…
