They have been doing electric tags for years in Europe. Very surprised the stores here aren't doing it, to fire another round of employees.
The number of mistakes I find on paper tagging of shelf prices is very worthwhile reading your receipt.

Yep, always in their favour as well. They were bleating the other night about theft, but failed to mention the constant over charges they must get away with.
News web sites typically shrink their photos to fit the page. However, there are ways to see the photos in their full, original resolution.
Take this story for example:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-10-10/mountain-pygmy-possum-climate-change-protection/101453130
This is the down-sized photo:

This is the original photo:

Notice that we only need to trim off everything after, and including, the question mark.
Other web sites use different techniques, but some simple experimentation will usually achieve the same result.
