  • 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology

    Jump

  • Their intent was to cut jobs/costs. They worked as designed. The user experience being improved was never the real goal of these, both on the employee and customer side. I'm fine using them for a small number of items/one item, but if I'm going to buy a bunch of things or anything that requires special handling (alcohol), I just skip them. I also skip them if there's no line at a human checkout because I don't want to drive those folks out of jobs either.

  • These aren't "feel good" stories, they're "we live in hell" stories.

  • ATV is the only box I recommend. I'm anti-Google, don't trust Amazon (and now their service is going to do ads on a paid Prime membership), and Roku has major privacy issues at least in the past. Curious why you're seeking an alternative to Apple.

  • Prince Andrew ‘tormented’ as Jeffrey Epstein documents set to be made public

  • He is facing his second Christmas without his mother

    He's a senior citizen, that is such a weak grab for pity.

  • Lucid's new all-electric Gravity SUV is a sustainability champion

  • The amount of screens in that is a hard nope for me. If A/C and radio/volume aren't tactile buttons/knobs, that's a deal breaker.

  • Elon Musk’s X removes the New York Times’ verification badge

  • NYT should just abandon it like NPR did when they were labeled as "state media". NPR recently said it had near zero impact on their site traffic.

  • Won't cost them anything near weeks of dev time. They can just write it into their terms of service and prompt you to re-accept those next time you access the site.

  • It’s so refreshing to see real journalistic integrity once in a while. Thanks for sharing.

  • Google Flat-Out Refuses to Bargain With Workers, Prompting YouTube Music Strike

    Jump

  • So Google, like Amazon, is trying to play the "they work for a subcontractor that only supports us, so it's their fault, not ours" card. I really want to see the NLRB smack this pattern down hard and set an example for all the other companies to try to avoid unionization by way of not directly hiring people.

  • [REPOST] A Manager Has To Dismiss Me? OK, I'll Just Get Overtime For Doing Nothing Then

    Jump

  • Retail managers are about the dumbest people I've ever worked with. All they know how to do is boss people with passive/submissive personalities around (poorly) and make up rules when things go awry. Also shifting blame onto others is a key skill in retail management.

  • [REPOST] Automated my useless boss out of her job

    Jump

  • I once automated a co-worker out of a job with a 13-line bash script. I felt guilty on a human level, but they were also awful so that guilt faded pretty fast.
