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

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

When I first grew my hair out as a young teen, I didn’t put it up at all until I cut it short again. The next time I tried growing it out it became my thing to always have it up

Ah, well I agree that definitely looks unenforceable to me

I don’t think I have a preference on the touchpads honestly but I vastly prefer the steam deck controls overall. Been hoping for a standalone steam controller 2 ever since it came out

Did you respond to the wrong person or something?

I’d bet they’re steam controller touch pads, and they’re quite a bit bigger than the final steam deck ones. Probably normal sized sticks too, with that in mind. The sizes are relatively identical to my steam controller

They’re cheaper which is insane. We could see a boom if third party manufacturers hop on steamOS now

You answered your own question 5 times over go with the deck

Another shill take from the rat, what a surprise

Just wanted to say thanks for posting a legitimate answer. This is how we can fight authoritarianism. Through information and education. Not by strong-arm removing posts.

It doesn’t even matter to me if he is trolling everywhere. We are presented an opportunity to battle this with knowledge and it appears that the moderation here has succumbed to the very thing they’re claiming to prevent.

Editing my post to say mods are based. Thanks for leaving this discussion up.

So who is Canada replacing him with, and will the new one bend the knee or continue to fight?

Yeah clippy references. Very topical and modern. Hard hitting. Very politically motivating

Damn right. He shouldn’t. Don’t forget about these scabs

Sometimes I think “I don’t eat that much meat anyway, I could probably go vegan”, and then I read something like this to snap me out of it.

… Like I said. There’s enough leaks

Swiftkey was the first to steal it from Swype I’m pretty sure
