Lmao, because they've been so successful with browsers...

Because not removing the signs requires the least effort/costs less.

(not saying that's a good reason; especially with how entitled Tesla owners tend to be)

The charge ports on non-Teslas, meanwhile, are also in a different spot on the vehicle, meaning they may have to park parallel to a Supercharger, taking up two spots. That's what happened here; "I had no choice but to park in a way that blocks two stalls," according to the Rivian driver.

Mostly vehicles, but they're a cheap and common choice for hobby electronics too.

Scanners in baskets/carts is what they are replacing this with.

The 'Just Walk Out' system was as the name implies; grab product and leave. No scanners, no checkout, no cashiers; just cameras watching you shop, and a heavy implication that that video is primarily watched by AI to determine your purchases. AFAIK the only scanners were to read a qr code on entry to associate you with your amazon account; the rest is hands off. Or at least that's what it's supposed to be. Seems there's a lot more labour under the hood than the advertising said. Shocker.

Probably the '1000 people in india' reviewing that footage.

The rest of the articles linked in the above one are pay walled and I don't care enough to dig further.

According to The Information, 700 out of 1,000 Just Walk Out sales required human reviewers as of 2022. This widely missed Amazon’s internal goals of reaching less than 50 reviews per 1,000 sales.

Lmao.

If you won't even put some effort in and write your own thoughts out, why should I spend my time researching what you think?

Pointing to someone else as a reference is one thing; but the completely no effort "here's some links, you do all the work" is almost insulting.

Imagine if Wikipedia removed all the actual info and just kept the reference links. I'm here for the actual info, I didn't visit to be told where I can go to find it. I'll look at the references if I need further clarification, and have the time/energy/desire to do so.
