The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practice managed by the Retail Council of Canada and endorsed by the Competition Bureau. It was introduced in June 2002 as Canadian retailers were in the midst of updating their point-of-sale systems with barcode readers to "foster consumer confidence" with the new systems.
Full disclosure: I didn’t just learn about this today. I did just learn that it didn’t exist until 2002 which seems pretty late to start using barcodes.
Anyway, I have noticed a lot of stores have dropped out of the program or are bending the rules about what a posted price actually means (like if the price tag is on the shelf under the thing instead of actually on the thing). Sure, none of this is legally required — but still — don’t let them take this from you.

Languages with upper and lower case letters should just pick one
The distinction doesn’t even translate to verbal communication and many languages are perfectly fine without cases. It is meaningless. Stop it!
Does a game key card cart have to be in the Switch to play the game or is it not needed after the game has been redeemed?
Like, is it an eshop game at that point or some sort of worst of both worlds situation?
Please Help with the MyHouse QR Code Thing
Does anybody have the MyHouse QR code thing that you are supposed to download? I tried for several months but the download was always at capacity and now the link is seemingly expired. Can a charitable community member just share whatever that is supposed to be with me? Thanks, y’all.
Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?
Like, from inside China to the outside, but a bilateral solution would be fine with me, too.
What happened to Pez?
It seems like Funko pops shouldn't have stood a chance in a space so thoroughly saturated with collectible plastic characters from any franchise imaginable. And there was candy involved.
