Take my upvote and gtfo ya filthy bastard

I say fight fire with fire

Meh

Or umbrellas will be pricier when it’s raining lol…

Ok… ? Then it was X11 that worked not Wayland… ffs

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?

Interesting thought experiment

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.

Whoah hold on… the orange idiot is getting way too much athleticism credit here…

Since I haven’t seen these mentioned yet:

Clipcascade (clipboard sharing across multiple OSes, handy when “copy from this VM and paste to that VM gets funky with the intermediary rdp client)

Infisical (self hosted secrets management, used for n8n automation pulls so I’m not storing credentials and api keys on a VPS)

Plus a Debian 13 VM for Claude+Hermes and a Fedora workstation VM to pretend I have a central workstation somewhere.

So… three quick points as my coffee is waiting…

First one is congratulations and well done for an adult resolution to a problem. I don’t wanna get political, but I’ll just say we could use to see a lot more of this in our daily lives. In many areas. Especially important ones.

Secondly, the game looks cool as hell. I’m not sure if it’s my genre or not, but I might check it out anyway it’s compelling and it really draws you in from a curiosity perspective.

Thirdly, and I’m sure it’s just an oversight, but the description still lists your game name on his page.

And when you try to head for the door, it opens a few inches before slamming shut, forcing you to stay in the store. Even looking that direction? Yep, another newsletter pop up.
