Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....

i gotta say, this AutoTL:DR seems kind of...bad. "she tells NPR" is a pronoun attached to person that is not named elsewhere in the TLDR. Maybe Beehaw should look into banning this one? I'm not sure how to offer feedback to the bot's author.
Great explainer about the changes, and reasons why it actually behooves Google to continue to allow ad blockers in some form. All that said...this still reaffirms my decision to go Firefox, always and forever, to get the most complete privacy options.

Why does the title focus on 3D pipes specifically?
The developer kicked off a screen saver contest among the Windows OpenGL team, with 3D Pipes being one of the entries alongside 3D Maze, 3D Text, and 3D Flying Objects. The team was supposed to vote for a single winner to be included with Windows NT 3.5, but when a person on Microsoft’s marketing team saw them, he said, “You can call off the vote. We’re adding all of them to the product!”
I feel like I hear about 3D Maze way more when people are reminiscing about old screensavers. Just sorta weird titling
i feel fortunate to have both of my parents still with me. Not sure how far out you are from that loss, but my understanding is that it's a grief that never leaves you. My best friend lost their dad 5 years ago, and they STILL have enough feelings about it to fill an entire poetry book (after previously filling a separate poetry book in the 2 years immediately after).
you're still allowed to be sad about it and have a hard week about it, no matter how long ago it happened <3
