I just found out my boss would scroll imgur directly. I only ever knew it as the image host of choice on reddit. Very rarely I’d click thru an imgur link to an album and then stay on the site to scroll a few more images, but that’s it.

Lineage is nothing compared to cyanogen
- Comment on android 1 day ago:
Now safety razors are actually the massive innovation of convenience, accessibility and low cost. While the industry moved onto cramming more and more redundant blades into their proprietary plastic cartridges while charing a 2000% markup.
I don’t know how that analogy extends to phones but I’m not looking forward to that inevitable future.

I use lineage. The second image is highly accurate

Oh my God thank you. What the hell happened to our hacker community? Why has it rolled over and taken this bs? Where is cyanogen when we need him most?

Eh, I went to dinner after a show at a local spot and they were completely unphased. The fake blood wasn’t sticky, it just stains everything. Bring an extra shirt if you’re really concerned, and/or a towel for your car seat if you drive.

Yes with an emulator. Look up dolphin for the gamecube version or torzu for switch. Dolphin + gamecube will be easier to run if your laptop isn’t very powerful

People type their credit cards into online stores all the time.
Sure, under the assumption that it’s not being stored without permission, or securely with permission. People are and should be very cautious about what sites you directly submit your card info to, and for less popular sites people are more and more opting to use a third party payment processor like apple, amazon, PayPal, etc.
In the US, most restaurants still take your card out of eyesight to be processed, although processing devices at the table is becoming more popular.
One of the most common ways cards get skimmed in person. You should absolutely be wary of this especially if it takes an unusually long time. I’ve been at group dinners where this was commented on. Seems pretty common sense.
I don’t think most people even think about it most of the time in the US because the credit card companies take care of disputes. Europe is definitely way ahead of us on secure payments!
I disagree. This is a common point of concern in my experience with customer facing roles, and anecdotally in my social life. When I worked for a major cell provider, for example, we sent a digital form to the customer so that we didn’t have to collect card info over the phone at all. In the event that we did as a fallback, customers were very wary of this across the board.

I’ve only seen those in movies, and I haven’t even had an embossed card in years. but most people (rightfully so) would refuse having their card info written anywhere these days. Things have really changed
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
When I worked in a restaurant we still had paper bills in the office we could write up if our system was down. If you wanted to pay with card, we would offer to write down your card info and charge it later, or accept cash only. We’d always inform new customers of this before taking their order.
If someone already ordered and was unable to pay we’d just take the loss on good faith that they’d return to pay, no holding ID or anything like that. It’s a relatively small loss for the restaurant to maintain a good reputation. Orders get comped all the time for more trivial reasons, and food cost is already a major part of a restaurant’s overhead.
But if power is out, then that generally means the kitchen isn’t functioning either unless the restaurant has generators
