i'm just joking, most likely the nerds at ebird will use it and maybe it'll get some people excited about bird conservation.

what they really need is a monarch butterfly cam or something, not a whole lot is known about individual butterfly migration.

seems to be a lot of them are. so you plug in your laptop via usb-c with displayport alt-mode, then for your desktop rig you plug in your video and usb upstream cable like normal. then the monitor switches the usb hub based upon which input you're using.

This week at CES, the San Francisco-based grocery delivery and technology company is unveiling a smart cart that shows video ads on a screen near the handle. General Mills, Del Monte Foods, and Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream are among the companies who will advertise on the carts during an upcoming pilot at West Coast stores owned by Good Food Holdings.
Instacart says a screen might advertise deals or show a limited-edition treat, like Chocolate Strawberry Cheerios. It might also share real-time recommendations based on what customers put in the cart, like advertising ice cream if a customer buys cones.
Instacart got into the cart business in 2021 when it bought Caper, which makes smart carts with cameras and sensors that automatically keep track of items placed in them. Instacart says it expects to have thousands of Caper Carts deployed by the end of this year.

i doubt photovoltaics can power a screen and wifi network card so stores are going to get really tired of changing the batteries on those. they'll probably be secured as well as the points of sale and if they're cute and do some sort of mesh networking thing you may be able to goatse the entire store from the parking lot. so who can say if it's bad or not?

it's going to get piloted at five stores and never rolled out widely

look at how well the average basic rear end cart, a relatively durable construction of inert steel and rubber, survives the average american city

those are really easy to steal, you just gotta carry them kinda high over the edge of the parking lot and then you can go back to roll mode

it’s brilliant. main product is make other people buy your groceries. now other people get stuck watching your targeted ads while they buy your groceries

I hope whoever had this dumb idea and signed off of it experiences homelessness for a few years then gets stuck working gig jobs forever

I was at a Kroger yesterday, and the cart I was using locked the second I passed the security sensors into the entrance vestibule. It wasn’t the first time that happened.

I was at another Kroger with my dad, and he was using one of their motorized carts and it locked when we went over to where the in store Starbucks’s was.

yeah, that poo poo sucks. when I was working carts and bagging at a grocery store, older customers would take the carts to their apartment building a bit aways. they got independence and mobility out of it, we got a happy customer, and we had plenty of carts to spare

the number of times a cart ended up two lots over was low, and we'd do a sort of fetch-and-swap with the neighboring stores occasionally when they'd get ours/we'd get theirs so it's not an unsolvable conundrum

the cart locks have been a thing for years and years. tons of places up here have them but i’ve never had one lock up on me so idk how well they work. a common appearance at some stores is also the coin slot on the carts - you get your coin back when you bring your cart back to the store

i don’t see it as that big of a deal tbh

it's because they're treating you like a thief. it's just part of the tapestry of hostile design trying to enforce property ownership.

i'll just go to a store that doesn't have capitalist brain and tries to lock out carts when they wander too far away.
