The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Well, it's not NFC but Amazon has some convenience stores that can do it, I think there's a limit on the number of items though.

I can just imagine a shopping cart full of NFC transceivers screaming out there serial numbers simultaneously.
