Hey that's pretty cool. I did see the unbagging area when picking up few items yesterday. Going to give it a shot next time I go to Aldi. It's not a busy store and I always see an empty register, but maybe that's because everyone else is doing their shit right.
I did notice the bigger bar codes and that the Aldi registers scanned real well but somehow didn't put the two things together.
AppleTV would be my recommendation for people that want a clean interface with no ads and they don't want to or can't modify an android TV box to a custom launcher. It's just about a perfect experience right out of the box. It's a shame about the shitty remote though.
For people willing to get their hands dirty, androidtv having SmartTubeNext is a killer tool for YouTube and for me gives it the edge.
SmartTubeNext might be the greatest thing about AndroidTV just for the sponsor block. It's so amazing.
Pihole helps. If you have androidtv you can setup a custom launcher and avoid it on your interface.
I did the exact same thing. Also blocked androidtv updates in case Google starts pulling shit regarding custom launchers.
It's gross how ads are being crammed in every little nook of our lives. Not like the ShieldTv was a cheap device either.
Pretty sad to see Roku going down the same road. Guess forcing a third of the screen devoted to ads just wasn't enough.
Oh shit, I just started going to Aldi and sounds like I am one of the idiots doing it wrong. The store I am going to seems to be setup same as a typical SCO though. I don't know that I have noticed a bagging counter. Will be looking next trip I guess.
You got that right. It's so great walking right by everyone queued up at the registers.
Works for Russia. Window sales going to see a surge if Trump gets elected.
I think the reality is, "boomer" as a term is here to stay and a moving target: as gen x ages into 40+
This is a nitpick, but gen x moved into the 40+ age group long ago. As a gen Xer I'll be in my 50's later this year. 🤮
And yeah, doom is peak Gen X probably.
Covered in the article. In Norway you are required to signal when exiting a roundabout. It's a fair concern.
Too be honest it seemed dated when I played the game. Those parts of the game felt kind of cringey to me.
