  • So, if I grab an item off the shelf and browse around the store for a while, is the price going to be the price currently displayed or the price when I grabbed it?

    If it’s the current price, what’s the point of a price tag? If I can’t actually know the price until checkout, then showing me the price is kind of a useless bit of data. I also suspect that the “speak to a manager” types would make that a major headache for stores.

    If it’s the price when I grabbed it, how are they keeping track of that? I see two ways of handling that: one requires that you use their app to shop, and the other requires cameras and “machine vision” that are still unreliable, at best. The former seems more likely, but I doubt either is going to sit well with customers.

    Edit: someone pointed out that it might not actually display a price, and you’d have to scan it to get your price. Kind of like the first option, but I think it’s going to turn off less tech savvy customers.

    I haven’t seen that aspect addressed in any articles about the “feature”.




  • Was Sprachen Sie spricht? (Deutsch/German)

    I’m not a native speaker, but I’m pretty sure it’s

    Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?

    assuming you want to be formal, which feels a little weird to me in the context of an internet forum.

    Edit: but to answer your question: fluent English, mehr als ein Bißchen Deutsch, y un poquito Español.

    Not the person you responded to, but I had mine set up. I had the software installed, I (thought) I even had the bed leveled, but every print either failed to stick to the plate, or eventually stuck to the nozzle. I ended up with a lot of spaghetti. I got frustrated and decided to take a break. I’d come back to it fresh, and see what I could do.

    … That was three years ago.




  • people just think its easier to just have tabs sitting around rather than use bookmark

    Mentally, I find that leaving a tab open says “I’ll get to that soon”, where a bookmark says “maybe I’ll need that someday”. “Soon” might still be two weeks from now, but “someday” might as well be never.

    Bookmarks just aren’t as visible. Think of it like having things that you need to do laid out on a countertop vs having them in a drawer. If you walk by the counter and have a minute to spare, you can see what you might be able to accomplish in that time and check something off. It feels like you need a lot more free time to even want to open the drawer.

    Also, managing bookmarks just looks daunting, and the more you have, the worse it gets. When I’m done with a tab, I just close it.

    Sometimes, I’ll use the bookmark toolbar, but I don’t see how that’s better than tabs, visually. It just has better persistence.

    Lastly, leaving a tab open can also be used like a post-it note to remind me to do something by a certain date. Every time I see it, it acts as a little reminder so that the thing doesn’t fall off my radar. That one gets a little tricky if you have so many tabs open that you have to scroll. I try not to let it get that bad, though.
