WHAT So Amazon is phasing out their checkout-less grocery stores. They had this "Just Walk Out" technology, where you just pick up things and walk out and it bills you for what you took without check out. They claimed it was automatic and AI powered but **it was actually 1,000+ Indian employees monitoring you as you walked through the store.** YES THIS IS NOT AN APRIL'S FOOL. https://gizmodo.com/amazon-reportedly-ditches-just-walk-out-grocery-stores-1851381116

I need subtitles. :) And I am happy that they&#39;re more available lately, it&#39;s a window into a world halfway around the globe from me. </p><p>I&#39;ve watched more kdramas than cdramas, but I fondly remember Nirvana in Fire. :)</p>

For folks who carry bags, might be worth getting an RFID-blocking insert or equivalent. So annoying.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://musician.social/@filomel" class="u-url mention">@<span>Filomel</span></a></span> Thank you for your kind words ;D<br />Yes, I have adored CDramas since I was a kid. I adore them more now that they&#39;re easily available. It used to be so hard to get them when I was younger, due to the language barrier. (While I can understand Mandarin, many of the dramas that come to my part of the world is in Cantonese which I&#39;m bad at.) Now that I can access more Mandarin shows I&#39;m in heaven.</p>
