Hmm.. I suppose technically they can ID your phone via Bluetooth / wifi / However, but that’s too coarse grained. And what if it’s me and you reaching for a tub of butter at the same time? What price is displayed and who gets “tagged” with it? What happens on a typical grocery store shelf where there’s 8000 items within reaching distance? Do all the tags change? lol
Maybe nfc or rfid for more specific detection? But that’s really close … You”d almost have to purposely hold your phone / card next to the tag for that.. and oh by the way, the tag would all of a sudden stop being a dumb eink display with a one-way mechanism, and it would require the ability to do all kinds of fancy radio telemetry not to mention communications.
I feel like if anything were to practically happened it would be closer to the Amazon store concept where they didn’t have any employees and just a bunch of cameras, watching your face and what you picked up and put in your bag or whatever. And then “AI” (offshore people) would charge it accordingly. It would still only work, of course, for use cases were single consumer presence was detected nearby, etc. oh and can you imagine Someone going to a store with a phone zoomed in on the prices recording a video and then watching the prices change as they got closer?
This is stupid and probably ignorant too, but I couldn’t get RDP dynamic window resizing to work on Wayland no matter what I tried and went back to gnome which works great.
One thing that always confused me about this.. if the price is so dynamic that it can change per person, how does the price get tagged to that person all the way to the register? It’s not like there’s a new barcode or rfid tag that magically appears between the milk isle and the front of the store.
I’m not enough of an expert to provide advice, but I can share what works well for me. I have tried games released across a 30 year span from multiple publishers using multiple types of engines using multiple launchers. I’ve had no issues with 240 Hz, an ultra wide display, or HDR. The one problem I’ve had is that the sound card doesn’t wake up properly after a long period of sleep, and so I double click an icon to wake it up. When I do, the Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound works perfectly.
Interesting perspective, though of course as the MX sending and receiving all the messages in the first place, they probably wouldn’t need to do it at the browser level.
Nice 5090.. buttons..
Does that make the tracking faster too?
Nope. Never.
Or umbrellas will be pricier when it’s raining lol..
I’ll bet I could fit under that rail, and have a nice security strap to stop me from falling off at night too? Sign me up!
Ok.. ? Then it was X11 that worked not Wayland.. ffs

Interesting thought experiment

Borglicious. Or Spaghetti is futile.
It’s almost like M$ is trying to push people to Linux at this point
Cheers wholesome netizen. Appreciate you sharing about things like this..
This will 100% happen. Hell, I couldn’t even leave a critical google review of a nearby middle eastern hotel because of government censorship.
🤣

..so that The only criminal left is Microsoft and their tracking ID?
Tracking ID. For the love of all that is holy.. that first.. turn it off…
Again.. “Look at this performance improvement we really should’ve always had, also what tracking ID?”
I wonder if this supports dynamic resizing. This has been one reason I’ve been unable to do Wayland on regular RDP.
