NYT - A Grocery Chain Just Fired Its Self-CheckoutsThey’re bringing the humans back. Ah, reminds me of when in a Ralphs, division of Kroger, I was ushered by an employee to use a self service checkout which was empty while there was a line at the full service. I politely declined saying I did not want to take a job away from a union employee. The look on their face was priceless. They were able to stammer out some corporate response line but it was obvious they were choking on it. Ralphs is a union shop and they were a union employee. |

They’re bringing the humans back. If only Walmart and other stores here in the US would do that, then they won't have angy shopper's making threats on the "door receipt checker" that want make sure you are not shoplifting. |

Another Murdaugh family type case of privilege and coverups? One Woman Died on an Alaska Mayor’s Property. Then Another. No One Has Ever Been Charged. Just unbelievable if it wasn't so real. |

Very damning allegations, but they can be properly proved? Sri Lanka's former government sabotaged probe into Easter Sunday bombings, retired police commander alleges. A retired police commander has shed new light on claims that the former Sri Lankan government may have colluded with a terrorist group for political gain, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people, including Australians, in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings. |

Most subscriber subscription services don't like the idea of having free to air service apps embedded on smart TV's sold here. They'd rather have you search to install them still and are running a scare campaign to stop that from happening . Is the government really trying to control your TV? Here's what its proposal on streaming apps means for you. I guess that a lot are trying to save their dwindling profits any way that they can. LOL |

Well, we have a similar media related issue here. Have written to my MP & aside from the automated receipt e-mail, have heard nothing back to date (TBH, don't think I will). With our landlines being shutdown by 2025 & the country switching to VoiP, WHY are we still paying landline rental charges? With monthly charges for TV/ Broadband & phones being connected to routers, I think those landlines fees are now redundant. Hey, must maintain our profits right? Edited for spelling errors. |

Is it just another sign of climate change or has PooTin found another way to disrupt things? World’s largest iceberg, twice the size of London and two-thirds as tall as the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, breaks free. The world’s biggest iceberg is on the move for the first time after being stuck to the ocean floor for 30 years. |

Well don' worry, free TV is already going away with new scrambled channels the norm. ATSC 3.0It seems that ATSC 3.0 is not big on our list of things to do here. Australia lags world in using latest TV broadcasting technology. Meanwhile more safe guards for free to air are being brought in and up to date. New laws to prevent 'iconic' sport moments slipping behind paywalls. |

The Indian government is yet again at the center of an overseas assassination plot. :-( In a major diplomatic upset, the US has arrested a man it claims was helped by the Indian Government to plan the killing of an American citizen in New York. An Indian national has been charged with plotting to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader on US soil, the Justice Department said on Wednesday, alleging an Indian government official was also involved in the planning. |
