Out in NYC, the bodegas all have a little plaquard saying that either 1: listed prices include a 2% credit card fee and you can save by using cash, or 2: listed prices may not match your final charge because they add a 2% fee on top for credit cards.

Which is the same thing effectively but it can be sometimes confusing if you’re trying to watch for the fee.

Anecdotally, I have sometimes noticed the cashier will say a price, and then say a slightly different price when I pull out the card. So it’s not like they always apply the fee regardless. At least some of the time anyway.

Not universal of course. I don’t remember if that’s also true for grocery stores, and it’s probably not the case for big chains but honestly I don’t know.


The affect of the microwave would fall off exponentially with distance. So like if it has X power at Y feet away, and you go out to 2Y feet away, the affect would be quartered. The affect on a drone isn’t going to do much, even if it really messes with your wifi close up.


Might be worth spoofing your user agent! I mostly just make it look exactly like the user agent my windows machine sends, so I’ll still look like a Firefox user. But by default, Firefox will note that it’s the Linux build in the user agent.


Isn’t brave owned by that weird crypto guy? And based on chrome?


Also good for cases where a website reads your active addons. Ublock users > users of privacy badger + ublock


Ssl will hide the contents but not the metadata. It’s easy enough to build a profile on you just by understanding what sites you visit.


Not that it contradicts your comment, but it’s worth noting those ads could well have been inserted by the platform or the podcast publisher.
