downpunxx@fedia.ioto Technology@beehaw.org•Walmart's use of digital price tags signal the future of retail shopping, but consumers are worried10·9 months agoI guess we’ll have to take photos of every item we pick from the shelves, so if the register attempts to charge more, or somehow misses a sale, we will have to get our phones out and say hey this was the price when i picked it. Great. Fantastic. Precisely the sort of simplicity and ease to be expected of advanced technology.

downpunxx@fedia.ioto World News@beehaw.org•Gaza: International Court of Justice (ICJ) orders Israel to halt military operations in Rafah following a request by South Africa1·1 year agoWhat? The ICJ doesn’t even have the authority to issue warrants. What’s the ICJ gonna do? The ICJ “ordered” Israel to halt military operation only if a certain number of parameters were met, which Israel is saying they haven’t been, so are continuing the Rafah Op, lol. The ICJ is going to get someone like South Africa to go an complain to the United Nations, and any resolution will be vetoed by the United States. And Israel is goin to root out every Hamas terrorist hiding under Rafah so help them God.
