From my personal experience, scanning things by yourself instead of more experienced cashier is somewhat slower (maybe 20-40% for large amounts?) for reasons you provided. The thing is, you don’t have to replace one cashier with one self-checkout, instead you may put like 5 of them and assign one employee to supervise them and solve things that need intervention like verifying age. Also when not in use (low amount of customers) they probably cost tiny fraction of employee’s wage. Idk about thefts though.

My guess is it was probably supposed to say TIP, not TOP.

Well, if you put them right in the normal outlet you bypass breaker and built in fuses, if breaker is open. If it is closed, then it maybe should pop if whole net outside house consumes more current than your house is allowed to (so maybe immediately), but still provides no protection inside. Or maybe if you have individual low-current rated breakers for every outlet, then yes, in this specific scenario it should technically work. Still, you know, generally bad idea.

First I somehow understood it like X as ex-twitter, and was like, “whoa, never saw it, bit interesting and kinda unique”. Then made connection to Arch, and finally then to X11 /xorg. Huh

Voyager on Android works too

Lignux balls)) Btw, I personally like it, shame it won’t spread.

For a couple of seconds I thought it’s the Solar Power Plant from X3 Terran Conflict.
