You can still buy music digitally these days

I think I found the confusion, you keep talking about Costco when I'm talking about self checkouts, I don't think that chain even exists in my country

My bad, I thought self checkout was when you scan your items yourself

That's amazing and encouraging, I want to hear more stories like this because when my kid grows up I plan on trying to guide him into not being tech illiterate, so far my plan is (more or less, but not exactly) to start him with a crappy but usable computer and give him upgrades he has to work for or tinker for, I feel like I learned the most by trying to squeeze performance and usability out of outdated hardware.

I don't intend to make him have my passion for computers, my intention is that he'll have the initiative to Google problems and the curiosity to solve them when it's not that easy, just having those two can get you 80%-90% there.

What second check?

Criminal until proven otherwise for checking that you didn't miss anything in your cart? That's extreme, people do make mistakes, if you actually want to steal you can still pocket stuff, the employee likely won't give two shits since that's a job for a security guard like it's always been.

If you're paranoic about being perceived as a potential criminal that's fine, you do you, but labeling any sort of basic control as an accusation is not cool, might as well label the presence of a security guard as such.

Every time I read about American police I think of that policeman from jojolands.

Where I'm from you still have to go through someone who makes sure all of the shit in your cart is in your receipt, it adds like 30-60 seconds and it's a single employee for six checkouts.

I'm pretty sure that's either dorcelessness or teluge

It flows

I switched to duckduckgo a while back when I got tired of Google being a shitty search engine.

This one may not be so obvious, but I've seen someone lose their marbles over the crazy idea that they get recommended stuff for children when all they watch on YouTube is Minecraft videos and sometimes Roblox. And people in the comments agreed...

The YouTube subreddit wasn't full of bright people.

Get a tank printer, you can't DRM liquid (afaik). I have an hp one with tiny tanks, I refill once a year and the branded bottles aren't too expensive, but you can use generic inks, though I've read about people with the same printer having problems with the viscosity of generic inks, so you still need quality ink.

A downside is I have to print something every now and then to keep it from clogging (a month or two).

I don't necessarily recommend my specific model, but at least that type of printer, I've found it's been great. Software is kinda shit like any printer but I have Linux on my desktop so it doesn't really matter, shitty proprietary software is only needed for Windows (I have zero experience with Mac)
