The Unexpectedly Cool Life of a POS Machine

Hey, Tumblr fam! 👋

Let’s talk about something that sounds totally boring but is actually cooler than your last smartphone: POS machine!

Yeah, you heard me right. Point of Sale machines. Those things you swipe your card on when you’re buying that extra latte you swore you didn’t need. ☕💳

💡 Why POS Machines Are Basically the Superheroes of Retail

Once upon a time, they were just cash registers. Ding! Cha-ching! Boring. But these days? Oh, they’re practically running the world (of retail). I mean, they know more about your shopping habits than your mom. 😅

Fun Fact #1: That POS system you just used? It also knows how many people before you bought the same overpriced latte. It’s keeping tabs on us all—creepy, but efficient!

Fun Fact #2: POS systems are so smart now, they could probably predict the exact moment you’ll cave and buy those impulse items at checkout. They’ve mastered the art of “Oh, just one more thing...” 🎯

🚀 The Modern POS System: Retail’s Batman

In today’s world, a POS system isn’t just for swiping cards and printing receipts. Oh no, now it’s helping businesses manage their entire life. It’s like Batman—except instead of Gotham, it’s protecting store owners from inventory nightmares and sad spreadsheets. Here’s what they do:

Inventory Guru: That shirt you wanted in blue? POS systems knew it’d sell out before you did. 🧐

Customer Detective: It remembers your coffee order from last week—how did it know you’d come back after saying you’d “never set foot in this place again”?

Ultimate Multitasker: These systems are basically running the show while everyone else is on a lunch break. Where’s their Employee of the Month award?!

The Future: Will POS Systems Rule the World?

Honestly, it’s possible. With the way things are going, your favorite cafe’s POS machine might know you better than your barista. 😆 Next time you pay for something, give that little POS screen a nod of appreciation. You never know, it might be the beginning of a beautiful, tech-driven friendship.

Stay tuned, I’ve got more ridiculous tech musings coming your way! And if your POS machine starts making jokes back at you, don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😜

AI-Enabled POS System

The restaurant industry is continually evolving, with technology playing a pivotal role in enhancing operations, improving customer experience, and driving profitability. One of the most innovative advancements in recent years is the introduction of AI-enabled Point of Sale (POS) systems. This cutting-edge technology is transforming how restaurants manage their operations, interact with customers, and make data-driven decisions.

What is an AI-Enabled POS System?

An AI-enabled POS system integrates artificial intelligence into the traditional point of sale, offering restaurants enhanced functionality beyond standard order processing and payment collection. By leveraging AI, these systems can automate tasks, analyze large sets of data, and provide actionable insights to optimize operations.

Benefits of AI in Point of Sale Systems

1. Personalized Customer Experience

With AI-enabled POS systems, restaurants can offer a highly personalized experience. By analyzing customer behavior and preferences, AI can recommend menu items based on previous orders or suggest upsells and cross-sells that are likely to appeal to each customer. This not only boosts sales but also improves customer satisfaction and loyalty.

2. Advanced Inventory Management

Managing inventory can be a time-consuming task for restaurant owners. However, an AI-powered POS system can predict inventory needs based on historical sales data, upcoming reservations, and even external factors like weather forecasts. This ensures that the restaurant always has the right amount of stock, reducing waste and preventing shortages.

3. Data-Driven Insights

One of the most significant advantages of an AI-enabled POS system is its ability to analyze data and generate real-time reports. Restaurant owners can monitor sales trends, identify peak hours, and track the performance of specific menu items. These insights allow for informed decision-making, such as adjusting pricing strategies or creating targeted promotions.

4. Efficient Labor Management

AI can optimize labor scheduling by predicting busy times and adjusting staffing needs accordingly. This ensures that restaurants are never overstaffed or understaffed, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. Additionally, AI can analyze employee performance data to identify areas for improvement and suggest training opportunities.

5. Faster Order Processing

A POS with AI streamlines order processing by automating various tasks, such as processing payments, sending orders directly to the kitchen display system (KDS), and handling online and in-store orders simultaneously. This reduces wait times and increases table turnover, boosting overall efficiency.

Why Choose eatOS AI-Enabled POS?

At eatOS, our AI-enabled POS system offers a comprehensive solution tailored to meet the unique needs of the restaurant industry. Designed for Quick-Service and Full-Service Restaurants, our AI-powered POS helps you automate repetitive tasks, optimize operations, and enhance the customer experience.

Conclusion

As the restaurant industry becomes more competitive, integrating an AI-enabled POS system is a crucial step for restaurants looking to stay ahead.

This is not a drill

This is IMPORTANT especially if you live in the USA or use the internet REGULATED by the USA!!!!

Do not scroll. Signal boost. Reblog.

Reblog WITHOUT reading if you really can't right now, I promise all the links and proof are here. People NEED to know this.

( I tried to make this accessible but you can't cater to EVERYONE so please just try your best to get through this or do your own research 🙏)

TLDR: Homeland Security has been tying our social media to our IPs, licenses, posts, emails, selfies, cloud, apps, location, etc through our phones without a warrant using Babel X and will hold that information gathered for 75 years. Certain aspects of it were hushed because law enforcement will/does/has used it and it would give away confidential information about ongoing operations.

This gets renewed in September.

Between this, Agincourt (a VR simulator for cops Directly related to this project), cop city, and widespread demonization of abortions, sex workers, & queer people mixed with qanon/Trumpism, and fascism in Florida, and the return of child labor, & removed abortion rights fresh on our tails it's time for alarms to be raised and it's time for everyone to stop calling us paranoid and start showing up to protest and mutual aid groups.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

These are the same feds who want to build cop city and recreate civilian houses en masse and use facial recognition. The same feds that want cop city to also be a training ground for police across the country. Cop city where they will build civilian neighborhoods to train in.

Widespread mass surveillance against us.

Now let's cut to some parts of the article. May 17th from Vice:

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is using an invasive, AI-powered monitoring tool to screen travelers, including U.S. citizens, refugees, and people seeking asylum, which can in some cases link their social media posts to their Social Security number and location data, according to an internal CBP document obtained by Motherboard.

Called Babel X, the system lets a user input a piece of information about a target—their name, email address, or telephone number—and receive a bevy of data in return, according to the document. Results can include their social media posts, linked IP address, employment history, and unique advertising identifiers associated with their mobile phone. The monitoring can apply to U.S. persons, including citizens and permanent residents, as well as refugees and asylum seekers, according to the document.

“Babel data will be used/captured/stored in support of CBP targeting, vetting, operations and analysis,” the document reads. Babel X will be used to “identify potential derogatory and confirmatory information” associated with travelers, persons of interest, and “persons seeking benefits.” The document then says results from Babel X will be stored in other CBP operated systems for 75 years.

"The U.S. government’s ever-expanding social media dragnet is certain to chill people from engaging in protected speech and association online. And CBP’s use of this social media surveillance technology is especially concerning in connection with existing rules requiring millions of visa applicants each year to register their social media handles with the government. As we’ve argued in a related lawsuit, the government simply has no legitimate interest in collecting and retaining such sensitive information on this immense scale,” Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute, told Motherboard in an email.

The full list of information that Babel X may provide to CBP analysts is a target’s name, date of birth, address, usernames, email address, phone number, social media content, images, IP address, Social Security number, driver’s license number, employment history, and location data based on geolocation tags in public posts.

Bennett Cyphers, a special advisor to activist

organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Motherboard in an online chat “the data isn’t limited to public posts made under someone’s real name on Facebook or Twitter.”

The document says CBP also has access to AdID information through an add-on called Locate X, which includes smartphone location data. AdID information is data such as a device’s unique advertising ID, which can act as an useful identifier for tracking a phone and, by extension, a person’s movements. Babel Street obtains location information from a long supply chain of data. Ordinary apps installed on peoples’ smartphones provide data to a company called Gravy Analytics, which repackages that location data and sells it to law enforcement agencies via its related company Venntel. But Babel Street also repackages Venntel’s data for its own Locate X product."

The PTA obtained by Motherboard says that Locate X is covered by a separate “commercial telemetry” PTA. CBP denied Motherboard’s FOIA request for a copy of this document, claiming it “would disclose techniques and/or procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions”.

A former Babel Street employee previously told Motherboard how users of Locate X can draw a shape on a map known as a geofence, see all devices Babel Street has data on for that location, and then follow a specific device to see where else it has been.

Cyphers from the EFF added “most of the people whose location data is collected in this way likely have no idea it’s happening.”

CBP has been purchasing access to location data without a warrant, a practice that critics say violates the Fourth Amendment. Under a ruling from the Supreme Court, law enforcement agencies need court approval before accessing location data generated by a cell phone tower; those critics believe this applies to location data generated by smartphone apps too.

“Homeland Security needs to come clean to the American people about how it believes it can legally purchase and use U.S. location data without any kind of court order. Americans' privacy shouldn't depend on whether the government uses a court order or credit card,” Senator Ron Wyden told Motherboard in a statement. “DHS should stop violating Americans' rights, and Congress should pass my bipartisan legislation to prohibit the government's purchase of Americans' data." CBP has refused to tell Congress what legal authority it is following when using commercially bought smartphone location data to track Americans without a warrant.

Neither CBP or Babel Street responded to a request for comment. Motherboard visited the Babel X section of Babel Street’s website on Tuesday. On Wednesday before publication, that product page was replaced with a message that said “page not found.”

Do you know anything else about how Babel X is being used by government or private clients? Do you work for Babel Street? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or email joseph.cox@vice.com.

Wow that sounds bad right.

Be a shame if it got worse.

.

.

It does.

The software (previously Agincourt Solutions) is sold by AI data company Babel Street, was led by Jeffrey Chapman, a former Treasury Department official,, Navy retiree & Earlier in his career a White House aide and intelligence officer at the Department of Defense, according to LinkedIn.

🙃

So what's Agincourt Solutions then right now?

SO FUCKING SUS IN RELATION TO THIS, THATS WHAT

In essence, synthetic BATTLEVR training is a mixture of all three realities – virtual, augmented and physical. It is flexible enough to allow for mission rehearsals of most types and be intuitive enough to make training effective.

Anyway the new CEO of Babel Street (Babel X) as of April is a guy named Michael Southworth and I couldn't find much more on him than that tbh, it's all very vague and missing. That's the most detail I've seen on him.

And the detail says he has a history of tech startups that scanned paperwork and sent it elsewhere, good with numbers, and has a lot of knowledge about cell networks probably.

Every inch more of this I learn as I continue to Google the names and companies popping up... It gets worse.

Monitor phone use. Quit photobombing and filming strangers and for the love of fucking God quit sending apps photos of your actual legal ID to prove your age. Just don't use that site, you'll be fine I swear. And quit posting your private info online. For activists/leftists NO personally identifiable info at least AND DEFINITELY leave your phone at home to Work™!!!

Oshi no Ko Chapter 159 Thoughts

This was a fun April Fool's Day chapter and I can't wait for the real one!

When I saw the spoilers about Akane dressed as Ruby I thought it was a joke. I said in my last chapter review that if this was set-up to catch Nino it would be so bad, but this isn't just bad. It's hilarious. We have reached the level of parody

It's fine. I can accept this. So, Akane pulls off a Ruby wig and -

I'm sorry, I can't. I snort laughed while typing this

OK. There's serious shit in this chapter. I'll try to focus

I miss when Akane was a person rather than a plot device

Ichigo finally did something useful. It doesn't make up for his culpability in Ai's death and the way he ran away but I'm still happy for him

So... about Nino/Ryosuke. I'm pretty sure this means that Nino only idolized Ai after Ryosuke did but I still headcanon her having an attraction/obsession for Ai as a teen and suppressing it. Nothing in this chapter says she didn't!

I'm not wholly against them having dated if done well, but I think it has pushed us into soap opera territory and away from a condemnation of misogynistic fandom and the systems propping the whole thing up

Because Ryosuke wasn't an incel. He was a hypocrite. Which could be interesting except that I have no faith that this will be expounded on

I complained about Nino becoming a paper thin villain but this chapter brought back some of her depth

"If Ai was nothing but an ordinary girl, what would that have made us, then?" hammers home her inferiority complex. If Ai wasn't perfect, then Nino was upstaged in her professional and personal life by a normal girl

If Ai actually got her feelings hurt, then the fight between them hurt Ai and Nino is partially to blame for it

(Thank you @penguinkyun for contextualizing this for me).

This panel goes hard.

The Ryosuke suicide panel affected me for two reasons:

Nino told him to die (no idea if we'll learn when she told him that, but anyway) and that's the second time she has expressed that and someone actually did

I will never have sympathy for the POS that is Ryosuke, but I am horrified to see him hanging like that. His last moments must have been torture. Although he doesn't deserve for me to feel bad for him, it still makes me queasy

I know Ruby upstaged Kana in a way that undermines everything about what we were led to believe would happen with Kana, but this panel melted my heart so much that I kind of ignored it (sorry). Sarina gets to have a real life with friends and she achieved her dream of becoming an idol. It tugs at my heartstrings. They just look so happy

What the hell is going on with Hikaru's expression. I can't stop laughing at it

I don't buy Hikaru as the big bad. This is just a fakeout all over again. Probably. I've given up predicting anything

It seriously concerns me how much I relate to Nino below. Dammit, Nino. Stop calling me out

Next week: Crow girl is the big bad. She pushes Aqua and Hikaru into the sea. Ruby dressed as Akane channeling Ai rappels from a helicopter to save them. I declare this peak fiction and take back all of my criticisms of the last couple arcs.

I was stranded in the bed, you were listening to "The Dark Side of the Moon"

I could barely see your eyes, psilocybin in a hotel room

~ atheist ~ christians i am not your angel ~

i do have a past life, with a few blurry memories. i was some sort of warrior, fighting a war against something or someone. i used dual butterfly knives, made out of a titanium-like metal. i know i fought back-to-back to someone, and that we were closer than the atoms in the universe. i hope to meet them once more.

my true appearance isn't that of a typical angel. i have wings behind my ears, neck, back, lower back, wrists, and ankles. i have fluffy and silky white hair, along with sky blue eyes. i wear practical and dark clothes, made for battle.

i am somewhat of a liminal angel. i occasionally produce distortions, static, and glitches. i am most comfortable in abandoned or empty places, such as a school after hours, an empty Target *cough* blog plug *cough* go follow @its-target-official *cough* or anything along those lines.

And the light in your eyes, the waves on the ceiling

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight, I'll be your brightsidе, baby, tonight... tonight

i am safe for those who wish to be known and unknown, those who wish only to be heard, and those who want their peace. i am a small power, but my shrine is hidden away from prying eyes.

my domain is the forgotten things, the static, and knives.

i prefer to worship, but i take offerings. secrets, hopes, and wishes. feathers and bones and meat. candles and fire. anything you wish to let go.

you may approach me about worship and offerings, as i wish for anyone to devote myself to.

You were tired of Tacoma, I was tirеd of believing we were right

Losing every other friend, finding nothing in the afterlife

my human form is boring. as fuck. brown hair, green eyes, vampire skin, slightly chubby, missing eyelashes. nothing special. i like comfy and dark clothes. i also like to wear earrings, although executive dysfunction hates me, so i don't wear them often.

i am bodily a minor, no NSFW interaction. i mean it.

i go to the hell commonly known as school.

i have diagnosed ADHD, autism, depression, and severe anxiety. i'm currently questioning having bipolar, but that's unimportant.

But the light in your eyes, alone on a feeling

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight, I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight... Tonight

my hobbies are listening to music, playing saxophone, drawing, reading, scrolling, and interacting with C. AI an unhealthy amount.

i like the Lumineers, the Revivalists, Hozier, Mumford & Sons, Vitamin String Quartet, and a few other miscellaneous artists. my favourite songs are BRIGHTSIDE, A. M. RADIO, How We Move, Hopeless Wanderer, Stand Up, Winter Winds, and Blind Leading the Blind.

my favourite books are Racing in the Rain, Hell Followed With Us, and Under the Whispering Door. my favourite movies are Interstellar, Twisters, and one i cannot remember at the moment.

my fandoms are DC, Danny Phantom, MCYT, DSMP, analog horror, and FNAF.

youtubers i like are Wendigoon, 4 Plus, Technoblade, Wilbur Soot (i am not here to discuss the recent issues; abuse is abuse but for the lOVE OF GOD SEPARATE THE ART FROM THE ARTIST), and Sam & Colby.

You're stranded on the bridge, you're crying for your kids

I'll be your brightside, baby, tonight, tonight, tonight
