All of my grocery shopping is done on my supermarkets website and sorting by unit price brings up the price per pound or ounce or whatever that products unit of measure is. For paper towels it returns $ per square foot, so even if the product size is different the price per unit of measure stays the same and makes it easier to comparison shop.
we name devices based on the inventory asset tag we affix as a prefix + the acronym of the department the device is assigned to as the suffix. clean and consistent across thousands of devices.
This happened back in 2019 with a restaurant I have a stake in. We did not enter into an agreement with Door Dash. Door Dash would call and place a pick-up order. The driver would come in and attempt to pay for the order with a debit card. The card got declined. Another (exactly the same order) gets called in, a different driver shows up - card got declined.
Staff thought it was a scam. They noticed the same type of debit card was used for both orders. Finally a driver informed us it was a door dash order. They scraped an old menu online with outdated prices, and loaded the debit card with the amount they calculated from the outdated menu.
Staff called back the phone number that placed the orders, explained the issue, and let Door Dash know there were 2 orders (sitting for over an hour, no longer saleable) that they owed [amount] for before we would take any additional orders from them, and that they needed to pay in advance over the phone before we would make any more food for them. Horrible experience, would never do business with them.
My father (85) similar scenario falling for scam emails and phone calls. Walked in on him installing rdp software as the "Microsoft support tech" instructed him to do when he called the number in the email that told him he had a virus.
Changed his desktop pc so his account is no longer admim (can't install software). Additionally, the websites he can visit are now allow-list only with everything else blocked.

> some apps didn't even need to be installed on an iOS device; instead they could exfiltrate data from the iCloud account linked to the device. But to get such information as social media logs, the app buyer would need to "jailbreak" iOS devices or "root" Android systems, essentially getting around built-in protections...
Years ago I completed the permanent opt-out for everyone in my household (needing to mail in a paper form is shameful). However, very few unsolicited junk mails since. For any that get through I call that company's support line and request removal. Works ~90% of the time.
One cool free feature the USPS does offer is Informed Delivery [0]:
Every morning around 7am I get an email from the postal service with scanned images of all the mail (face of the envelope) I'm receiving that day.
In high school teachers would take me to their house on my lunch break to fix their home computer then buy me a steak and cheese on the way back to school. Definitely some red flags there.
>> Notably, the bill doesn't pertain to medical devices, home appliances, agricultural and off-road equipment, or public safety communications equipment. However, right-to-repair advocates have their eye on those areas as well. The bill also doesn't cover motor vehicles.
