As an aside, did anybody else find her vibe really offputting? I liked her content, but her enormous fake boobs and skimpy outfits were a distraction from otherwise interesting content.

indeed. I've never heard of her and seeing this I wanted to see what it's all about - one look at her youtube (not even clicking on the video, the thumbnail and the short hover clip was enough) and I decided nope, don't really care.

If you're aware of the limitations of iOS

including some stupidly ridiculous ones - like not being to use different volume for the ringer and notifications. Apparently too difficult for apple to implement. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

looks like the majority of the complains are related to the weight sensors, and you can't scrap those if you have people stealing - that does just not happen here in any significant amount.

Never really had any problems.

Do yours freak out when you put your re-usable bags in the bagging area even when you tell it you're using 4 of your own bags?

no weight sensors, and where there are, you can put the bags on the platform, wait for like 20 seconds for it to recognize them and continue with the scanning.

Or have two barcodes on packages and if the wrong one scans (either because you aren't sure which needs to be scanned or because they're next to each other and you don't get a gun), you need a cashier to override?

never had that happen but this is the store's problem and I'm guessing doesn't happen all that often - neither the fault of the machine nor the customer.

Or have weight sensors that are just wrong about how much items should weigh?

never experienced that either with the ones that do have weight sensors.

Or only have enough room for like 2 bags of groceries but it isn't ok to take any out of the bagging area?

the ones with weight sensors have like a 1m*1m platform, there's plenty of room for like 3-4 full bags.

I think in the last 5 or so years of using them exclusively I only had to wait in line once due to 3/6 of them being unavailable because of maintainance - and that was maybe 3 minutes tops.

Like I said, the same self-checkout machines work wonderfully in switzerland. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

ugh... self checkout here in switzerland works like a dream - it's not the self checkout idea that's problematic, it's the customers.

Maybe it does, and it still would (probably) not be enough for two 4k 90hz displays that this has.

I've tried several remote desktop apps but the compression artefacts very quickly give me a headache. So I splurged for MTP cables and the display port dongles, and it works like a dream. Also, MTP connectors are pure fibre porn.

Honestly, I don't even need half of the things that it does to justify the price, for me - just give me a dual 4k, 100 hz displays and a display port connector and I'll gladly shell out 3k to play vr video games on it.

If these sellout, as some predict, it proves unequivocally that Apple fanboys are the most rabid idiots in existence.

looks like you value money much higher than some others do - interpret that however you will.
