German supermarket Aldi's fake discounts breach EU law, top European court says | Euronews
  • Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.

    Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.

  • German supermarket Aldi's fake discounts breach EU law, top European court says | Euronews
  • I wish someone would take a look at ‘Clubcard Prices’ and ‘Nectar Prices’ etc. Ie discounts if you have the loyalty card.

    I’m sure they’re just a way to circumvent trading standards legislation about needing to have been on sale at the higher price before starting a sale. Because it’s not a sale is a ‘club price’. The store can show a massive discount when it was never on sale at the undiscounted price anyway.

  • Fuck Hilton: Black Hat USA 2024, DEF CON 32 attendees treated like children – or criminals – with invasive hotel room checks
  • All hotels reserve the right to inspect your room whenever they need to. The privacy sign just means you don’t want room service, it’s not some magical lock.

    They’d still knock, not just burst into your room to catch you in flagrante.

    That said seeing the black hat conference in this way is daft.

  • Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
  • Yeah the PS5 controller is about the only innovative part of this console generation. The adaptive triggers and haptics are just great. I use one on the PC and for the games that support the extra features they really do add an extra dimension.

  • Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways
  • I hope Harris doesn’t over prepare, she does need to maintain a certain level of off the cuff affability.

    Over preparation was Biden’s fatal error, he was struggling so hard to hit his talking points he couldn’t keep things straight. Obviously things are vastly different with Harris, but she’d be best to not just be a talking point machine.

  • Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X
  • What conspiracy theory? The Saudis and Qataris have stakes in Twitter.

    Qatar Holding, a sovereign wealth fund, is contributing $375m, while Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who had initially opposed the buyout, also confirmed he would retain his $1.9bn stake in Twitter, writing that Mr Musk would be an "excellent leader" for the site.

  • Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report
  • Wow you’re right. It’s not talking about CO2 per MWh it’s talking about total CO2 per year. What a completely useless comparison.

    Also the source of the C in the CO2 is important, rendering this comparison even more pointless.
