  • Yes, they have two options. Either honour the sticker price, or stop selling it at all until the price is fixed.

  • In Australia if the price at the checkout is higher than the price tag you are entitled to the first item free

    Got a source on that? That's not what the ACCC says.

  • This edit inspired by Zagorath

    Fuck yeah!

    Btw the other way you can do it (which will only be noticeable to users with screen readers) is to put the alt text between the square brackets.

  • They would have to refuse to sell to anyone. It would likely not be lawful to leave it on the shelf and sell it at the higher price to someone else who might not have noticed the discrepancy, until they fix up the shelf pricing.

  • Australia, the country the article is talking about. That was a quote from the ACCC website.

  • Downvote posts that consist mostly or entirely of an image of text but don't also include a transcription in either the alt text or the body.

  • Reminder that by law, if the price is listed wrong:

    Sometimes the price of an item in store or online at the checkout may not match the displayed or advertised price in store or online. If this happens, even by mistake, the business must either:

    • sell the product for the lowest price - either the checkout price, or displayed or advertised price, or
    • stop selling the item until the incorrect price is corrected.

    Secret Liberal review: Never let leader run campaign again

  • Oh very interesting. Thanks for being so patient! I had no idea about this. I always just assumed that if a device said it supported 100M, that necessarily meant that if you connect a 10M device up to it, it'll automatically take the lower speed. Like a car with a max speed of 10 can go on a road with a speed limit of 100...it'll just be limited to 10. I didn't realise it had to sync up like that.

  • Oh damn, really? So do normal home routers have to support basically every possible speed? Because I don't think I've ever encountered or heard of someone encountering a failure due to a speed mismatch.

  • hmm

    Can you not do that as an employee in Canada?

    In Australia employees who work from home can either calculate all your actual work from home expenses and deduct that, or use the standard fixed rate (which varies by year, but last financial year was 70 c per hour) which includes utilities and stationary/consumables. With the fixed rate you can still additionally deduct depreciating assets like computers and furniture (proportional to how often they are actually used for work).

  • So what happens when that occurs? Does it just stop working, or does it work at the lower speed despite the lack of official "support" for it?

  • Wait so what would happen if it was only 1000? Like, can't any connection automatically support up to its limit? What's the advantage of explicitly supporting lower numbers?
