I have 2 of these. One gives perfect results, one seems to drop off after lots of data transfer. They look alnoat identical, but one is name brand and ine ia probaboy a cheap chinese copy. Wiring is probably sub-par

To me it seems they followed the hdd UUID style, rather than sda0 or hda0 that can change at boot you now have a fixed UUID to work with. I can see this being important on larger server networks

I mean tiny bit is somewhat normal to correct for road camber or rutting...but those doing it back and forth like they are in a 70s pickup truck with fully worn out steering rack and bushings is pretty lame

I would think the price changes happen overnight. With their system each RFID type price label can be flipped when the push the pricing to the register system.

I'm sure the old way was a deterrwnt in changeing prices because they had to call staff in to swap labels. Now it is computerized, so on a whim they can adjust.

We had an oat drink we liked one day 4.99 go back to grab another the next day 7.99. Few days later 3.50...we said screw this company and just got it at Walmart where price was consitent every time.

Loblaws has had this for a while, we no longer shop thete, but it was frustrating because an item would fluctuate in price depending in what day you went. No way to budget for random pricing
