Hey, believe it or not, that is actually the OS crashing.

The crash might occur in the driver, but it's still the OS crashing.

These driver crashes on Windows typically lead to having to reinstall/"repair" Windows. It takes a lot of time, and is a frequent occurrence. It's more common than it used to be in the W7 days by far.

I've been doing this for 30 years as well, and you're full of crap. Even with new, reputable (high end) hardware, it's a common problem.

Plus the extra cost of running power to every shelf in the store

I'd think they might be battery powered....?

Those labels move a lot over time with products shifting here and there over the shelf space....

Exactly, what's to stop the store from changing the price at the register when the barcode is scanned? Why would banning digital price tags stop that practice?

price tags are a logistical headache

You do it all the time because you're an ignorant fucking asshole.

The people that needed to see this are the Fox News Grandpas still watch 60 minutes on TV.

School shootings are terrible, but in the USA, kids are still over 100 times more likely to die in a car accident than in a school shooting.

And there are many other causes of death that are higher than school shootings as well. School shootings are relatively low on the list.

Of course, they are still terrible, but if we are going to prioritize child safety, the numbers make it clear that children in the USA face many much greater threats than school shootings, and so we would do well to focus on those.

Are there steps we could take to make vehicular travel safer in the USA? Absolutely. Would they save children's lives? Absolutely. So, it seems clear what our priority here should be.

Since being outside in public areas away from people is practically the only time I don't feel like killing myself, is it cringe that I try to get a minimum of 2.4 hours (10% of a day) outside? And what if I see discarded culverts almost every trip to a place with streams?

No they are simply doing what Trump wants them to do. They are no longer importing certain laptops because the tariff would make them too expensive to sell. Isn't that the goal of the tariffs, to get Framework to stop importing foreign-made laptops and start making them here at home?
