the problem is that everything worth having is scalped to hell and back now. "agentic commerce" is the back edge of that blade. in a world where everything is scalped out, how else are we to get anything except by paying even more out the nose that the already exorbitant prices being demanded by retailers.

have you seen the prices of [RAM, GPUs, SSDs] these past months?

i've never been in one and the nearest is apparently 2h away, so i'm curious about this part in tfs:

> Shoppers follow unwritten rules: move along, don't block the way, step aside to check your phone.

I cannot think of a more perfect work in this modern moment to reflect the viewership.

i converted my remaining win 10 box to Enterprise IoT LTSC a couple weeks ago and so far it's been indistinguishable from the Win 10 Pro it was before. EoL is Jan 13, 2032 . it was surprisingly easy to do. search your web, you know it to be true
