I don’t know about the rest of Canada, but in Quebec the label not matching the register is considered a pricing error and generally you get to pay the display price.
Merchants must sell items at the advertised or displayed price.
With digital labels, the displayed price and the register price will always line up.
EDIT: For some reason I thought this was a post in /c/Canada. Some states might have similar regulations though…
I thought I did, until having to use it for a few days last week after having swapped to Linux in December.
I did it in December. I had tried to run dual-boot many times in the last decade, but always ended up back at Windows (gaming was part of this). This time, I do not think I will going back.
I chose Pop OS because of support for Nvidia GPUs and out-of-the-box flatpak integration. It was a bit frustrating at first because the new Cosmic DE is rather buggy. But I switched to KDE and things are smooth now. If I could go back, I’d probably install Kubuntu (or maybe Fedora KDE)
Some things that have frustrated me:
Good things:
I’ve no regrets. I just wish I could also make the switch on my laptop. However, for whatever reason, my trackpad becomes intermittently sluggish on Ubuntu/Pop (I’ve tried both). None of the solutions online (XPS 9510) seem to work. If I ever purchase another laptop, I will be sure to get one with better Linux support.
Well I mean linux has electron apps too
Not really like Vim at all. But yes its a bit of a learning curve. Imo its worth it but I’m an engineering grad student so it is especially suited to my uses.
Laughs in LaTeX?
I use it on my laptop because it doesn’t nuke my laptop’s battery like all other browsers. So it’s a bit of a shame.
Absolutely. This has made me acutely aware that my days with MS are numbered.
For existing customers, the price hike won’t be kicking in until plan renewal, and there are options to downgrade the plan. Those who want to avoid using AI can downgrade the plan to the “Classic” or “Basic” Microsoft 365 plans.
Thankfully we can roll back to the “Classic Family Plan” without the AI features. But annoying that they automatically switched plans and I had to switch back. If I didn’t see this article I’d be up for a big price hike when it renewed.
Everyone’s hating but honestly fair enough move.
On the whole, nobody uses Bing or takes it seriously anyways and so I guess they have to find their niche. It’s certainly not aimed at us (Lemmy/Fediverse users) who are generally more privacy conscious. If it can attract some mainstream users (e.g., Google users, people like your parents, etc) or stop some users from immediately switching their search engine to Google, then it might be a good decision for them.
Bing providing the exact same service as Google but worse clearly wasn’t working for them.
Cool that average FPS is better but:
The impressive FPS deltas aside, it should be mentioned that, with the exception of Arch Linux, average frame times (measured as 1% lows, in this case) on Linux were generally behind what Windows managed by up to 20%
I feel like worse 1% lows makes this title misleading. Hopefully with time this gap will close.
What I mean is that the displayed price and register are always in sync.
Realistically, I feel like it would mean that they can only change prices during shutdown hours (or perhaps VALID UNTIL prices for changing mid-day). Changing displayed prices manually each night is too much labour to be worth it, but with digital labels, it could be done.
More dystopian, I’m sure at some point Walmart will be able to track each person to display a unique price when they are looking, and that displayed price can follow them to the register.
