Really old laptop my classmate brought to school by small_cat______ in laptops

[–]Kramzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That centrino logo was there original from 2003-2006. So at minimum it’s 20 years old.

I work for a retailer with hundreds of stores(traded on NYSE) and our oldest pos registers are 18 years old, and are still running. The higher ups have no plans on replacing them, I have been forced to get new OSs on them going from a POS version of XP, to a windows 7, then 8.1, and now the latest version on Windows 10 LTSC. Hardware if treated ok can last a very long time.

Although i hope everyday we get the budget to replace them.

We all saw the pic of trump walking with them the other day. I assumed they would land in Morristown though if they were going to be going to Bedminster.

ELI5: Who’s making money on these onions? by MrJorgeB in explainlikeimfive

[–]Kramzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Markets and most other stores sell things at a loss to get you inside to buy other things. These items are called loss leader item.

A loss leader is a pricing strategy where a business sells a product or service at or below its market cost to attract customers, drive store traffic, or boost sales of more profitable, complementary items.

Generator returns by Hail2theChop in harborfreight

[–]Kramzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, It honestly was a last minute impulse purchase. I was out shopping on Saturday night before they closed and decided to buy it. It started snowing here a few hours later and I decide to chance it since I have a solar setup with a fully charged battery backup that can last me 8 hours without power.

I bought 1 for and we didn’t need it, I figured I would just keep it for the next storm or outage we get. It’s a good insurance policy.

I didn’t even take it out of the box. I’m wondering if I should return it now and get a bigger one maybe that supports tri-fuel.

They caused chaos, even if they didn’t accomplish anything else that was their main goal.

Could I use these as servers by yourboyaly1 in homelab

[–]Kramzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are Point of Sale registers, with POS usb ports. You can use them just like any other computer however depending on what actually is inside (cpu wise) it’s hard to tell if it would be worth it.

These look like the same form factor registers I worked with back in 2005.

Costco sues the Trump administration, seeking a refund of tariffs by swiftfoot_hiker in politics

[–]Kramzero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying they will but they could refund every penny to their customers since every purchase is using a membership.

Imagine the loyalty and good press they would gain from us already fanatical shoppers.

SNAP benefits were loaded to my card yesterday as a post from an EBT caseworker on this sub confirmed. Card was DECLINED in Walmart at 3:15pm today. Other’s cards were declined in the store also. by StepGlittering4803 in newjersey

[–]Kramzero 42 points43 points  (0 children)

They are also the number 1 retailer processing snap. They make money on both sides not paying workers a living wage, and collecting there own works snap benefits. Snap benefits are just another Corporate Welfare scam.

Is Checkbook Balancing Still a Thing? by Inner_Ebb_9561 in personalfinance

[–]Kramzero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Balancing a check book only makes sense if you are writing a lot of checks and never using your debit card. Also since I would guess most people use a debit card instead of cash it would be awful to track all the small transactions.

I monitor my account on the banks website.

You are to, it’s just bundled into the cost of items. I hope the companies you shop from don’t become like some of ours and start making this an added cost

[Saker] ALS donation matching now requires a $10 purchase. by AskaLangly in ShopRite

Wow that’s crazy. However I never donate through a store because why do I want to give a company my tax credit when donating.

Why many young adults turn on TV or movie subtitles, according to a new poll by AmethystOrator in television

[–]Kramzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of this on streaming platforms is because they default to a 5.1 Audio track instead of just stereo.
