Seems like the same system Decathlon has been using since 2019.

All the workers clapped and one of them cried.
CaptainHardcore··on Tesla Cybertruck vs. Porsche 911 drag race
Would the Cybertruck still have finished faster than the Porsche 911 if it wasn’t towing the extra weight?
CaptainHardcore··on The guide to time travel in the movies
Sean Carroll & Jennifer Ouellette are trash hacks. They wouldn’t know quality if they where asked to write about it.
CaptainHardcore··on Show HN: Stop getting disposable and non existent email address at sign-up forms
I tested with a valid email address. The result was ‘undeliverable’. More user pain for me…
CaptainHardcore··on Ask HN: More Co-op games I can carry my 5 year old through?
Correct. The secret room would appear at levels 20, 30, and 40 if you didn’t lose a life.

CaptainHardcore··on Elon Musk’s business ties deserve more scrutiny
I was hoping for a retrospective review of Musk’s neck tie collection.
CaptainHardcore··on Ask HN: When did desktop Microsoft Outlook become unusable at startup?
Fully agree. I switched to the web versions of Outlook and Teams about a year ago after problems with responsiveness, cpu utilisation, and excessive memory usage.
CaptainHardcore··on Ask HN: Is there a good way to force headphone use on tablets?
I had not thought about AirPlay or Chromecast. An isolated guest wifi configured on the router would fix that problem.
CaptainHardcore··on Ask HN: Is there a good way to force headphone use on tablets?
I wouldn’t say it’s a good way… how about plugging in a broken headphone jack- long enough to disable the speakers, short enough that it cannot be removed. Access to sound would require bluetooth headphones.

I guess if I was going to walk in the road with traffic.
CaptainHardcore··on Pedal Me bans staff riders from wearing helmets for safety reasons

Because I have a seatbelt, an airbag, and a reinforced shock absorbing shell around me.
