[@MTGeomancer]

Only if there is a declared emergency, which there wouldn't be for a simple heat wave. This practice of electronic price tags could be stopped if consumers simply boycotted any store that implemented it. The practice would end in a single day if they did. But the reality is consumers are stupid, and they don't care. They'd complain endlessly ... yet still go to the same store and still buy everything they normally would. The voice of the wallet is the only one businesses listen to. Proof is in the stores that have already done this, it's quite common in department stores like Khol's and JcPenny to already have electronic price tags. A funny, but also sad story involving JcPenny is for a time they tried being honest with their customers and having real pricing instead of playing games with fake sales and fake coupons. Sales plummeted and they had to go back to being deceptive. Turns out, consumers like being lied to.

This gets into a concept in design that I've been calling barrier-to-entry (don't know if that's the actual term). Essentially, making something harder to do makes fewer people do it. A drastic example would be how few people use Linux. You **could** do it, but most don't, even if a lot of people would like the privacy benefits, because it's quite time-consuming and requires prior computer-working knowledge. In a similar sort of way, look at how a number of online services add a ton of buttons between you and the cancel button. It's not that they're going to catch everyone. It's that they're going to catch even a few people. And, hey. If you catch just one more child predator (and there are no other reprecussions for innocent people), that's a huge win in my book.

[@cinderwolf32]

There are some things that obviously need to be illegal and punished. No same person will argue that child predators need to be ripped from their comforts and at least placed in prison (since people disagree about the death penalty). Let me remind you that there are things which are not so universally illegal which governments do not like: what when, in some years, the government enforces policies that anyone LGBT should be jailed? Egypt has already used invasive measures to catch these supposed criminals. My point is that there is no universally uniform division between legal and illegal, and these things change over time. If you think your government is certainly better than that and moral: no they aren't.

Would they choose to sell at a lower profit margin when it's definitely either a lower margin for that particular customer or no sale at all? I mean sure, I'd expect that such price customization potential would be far, FAR more likely to raise prices when demand is high then lower them otherwise.

The idea of prices changing at a store in real time sounds like a nightmare.

But it just feels like yet another symptom of a declining if not absolutely collapsing society.

[@SurgStriker]

It doesn't seem likely that it will actually happen. That was one "industry analyst" who said surge pricing was a threat here, but there's a good chance that laws will prevent it from happening anyway, like they said in this video if they tried, there would be fighting at the register because "when i picked this up it was this price". They are likely just doing this digital thing to prevent having to have multiple employees go aisle by aisle updating pricing manually each night. Cost saving, kind of like fast food using kiosks. Might also make price checking easier if they can just have someone double check the database instead of sending an employee to find the item in the store and check for it's price tag. Though, i wonder if these digital tags will be vulnerable to things like flipper zero. Cause lots of headaches by changing the signage so when people get to the register it turns into an argument.

[@commentinglife6175]

@@SurgStriker I know someone probably could change a paper label but we've become so trusting of machines that if a hacker did change the prices, the store is going to find they have to accept them cause who is ultimately responsible for detecting and preventing hackers?

I don't see these being used during business hours to change prices, for the very reason cited in the video. Which price is correct, what it was when I picked it up, or what it is now? People wouldn't put up with it. But, these tags would save literally hundreds of hours of labor for a store. I used to work nights in a grocery store way back in my younger years. Changing out shelf tags was literally what we did all night the night before the next week's sale took effect. It's boring, tedious, and takes forever.

I've noticed in the UK that more and more stores do not lower prices on soon to expire stock. I've also noticed expected shelf lives on goods reduced , smaller franchise stores in less affluent areas are getting short dated goods delivered daily from other larger stores. All stores are in my opinion deliberately leaving expired goods on shelves even though they could be fined, if there are no staff around to tell i now just take expired goods off the shelf and leave them stacked in the isle. Just yesterday 22/06/24 i had to point out two boxes of expired bacon in a refrigerator at asda (walmart) (50 packs per box?) one box about half full dated 16/06 the box behind it dated 20/06 others in the same refrigerator had long dates well into july. During COVID lockdowns the ENTIRE shelf, hundreds of bags of flour in the same asda store consisting of several brands and varieties was expired some by over a year. The only explanation is that the containers MUST have been in storage somewhere before being sent to the store to sell knowing they were expired and that people had no option but to pay. It is my opinion that they learned over COVID that people without a choice will still pay full price (or more) for short shelf life good so there is no incentive to rotate stock. As a carer i was permitted to travel during lockdown (many people were not so lucky), after seeing what was happening with main stream supermarkets i started putting together parcels of fresh meat, fruit and veg from my local farm produce shops for friends and family, not only was it cheaper but also fresher i know the over heads are different but that's no excuse for gouging during a crisis.

I own a gaming laptop and whenever in sleep mode, the laptop would sometimes randomly heats up to 100°c and drains all the battery due to the amount of heat generated. Unfortunately I could not find any solution thus permanently switched to hibernate mode whenever the lid is closed.

[@tekeagle2136]

For my $700 2020 Lenovo 2-in-1 laptop, even hibernation and a fresh Windows install would not work. This caused the battery to completely drain during my 4-hour work shift. By the time I reached my next class, the battery would be less than 10%. However, my 2022 Lenovo Legion does not have that issue, but I still use hibernation just in case. I could manage 8 hours of battery when fully charged, but instead I use "conservation mode", which charges the battery to 75-80%. Even with that, my laptop can last through all my college classes and rarely go below 20%.

I worked in a tech store a few years ago and digital price labels were standard there back then. Yet in Austria the law says: the price is set at the checkout - whatever price you get there is the price the shop offers.

On the electronic signage: I worked a couple of retail joints here in the US, one of which used to be a major office supply store. We had a whole extra hour or 2 once a week to change prices that needed changed. I imagine some corporate big wigs did some math and realized they could cut thousands of hours of pay if they changed to signage they can update with the push of a button like a gas station does. Except for tags getting hacked and the headaches that will cause, nothing will change on the customer side. On the retail side, companies would have the option of updating prices every night if they wanted and not pay anyone to do it.

[@Bry.89]

For the price tag thing, they should make it to where you get the cheapest price within the last hour or so, which is usually how long it takes the average person to grocery shop. So if it changes between the time you grab the item and the time you check out, you're guaranteeing you get the best pricing for that time frame. How it'll actually work will likely be the opposite.

[@goose9137]

You’re right Europe is not a country 👍

[@MaverickBlue42]

General consensus, at least in Canada, is if the price on the sticker or sign is cheaper than what the register says, they have to honor the cheaper price that is being displayed. I've seen grocers quickly dispatch somebody to "correct" the sign when something was physically marked as discounted that shouldn't be...usually when a sale expired but the sign was never removed.....the catch is you have to notice...

[@yashrastogi149]

Well yeah, Europe is not a country it's a continent.

[@JoshColletta]

Under current legal precedent in most states, the store would only be able to charge you the price that was on the label when you picked it up off the shelf. That is the **spirit** of the law as it stands in most states. If the dynamic labels become more common, I would wager that would be codified into the **letter** of the law, as well.

[@dappermuis5002]

The price changing thing on time of day or demand of the day should be illegal. What I already do is anything that is on special. I take a photo of it with my phone and then keep an eye on what I get charged at the till. Two reasons for this. You can show at the till what the actual price is if for some reason the till didn't register the special and saves time of not having to wait for them to go or send someone to go look. But also it prevents the employee from quickly taking the price off the item and/or saying it wasn't on special (have had this happen in the past).

[@BumbleBeeChicken]

The Snapdragon X Elite looks so promising. The competition always makes me happy.

[@BlueberryJamPie]

Oh hey that grocery store digital price tag thing happened in Brazil with the old money (when inflation was completely out of control). Things would fluctuate and sometimes have a difference of up to ~6000% in 24h, so some people would just stay at a store and get a median/try to get a minimum while tracking a bunch of prices. It was horrible. Best of luck.

If they start changing the price of shit in stores like that you are gonna see a massive amount of people just leaving all the shit they grabbed at the checkout isle because what they thought was gonna cost $50 all of the sudden cost $100 because the temp outside crossed the “hot” or “cold” threshold. It wouldn’t even take that long of people boycotting stores for the stores to see massive losses in spoiled food or food that can’t be put back after you grabbed it.
