I checked one from the article at random (hdtoday) and it was definitely hosted/fronted by cloudflare. DNS wouldn't help here. Sigh.
Comment Run your own resolver, like we used to do? (Score 1) 36
I don't understand why more people don't run a local recursive resolver. It isn't hard.
Additionally, I'd love to see every consumer router have a local Unbound recursive resolver (or similar) included. Ideally, used by default. With an optional forward to the local ISP or a 3rd party DNS resolver if absolutely necessary.
Having mega-resolvers like cloudflare, google, 9.9.9.9 etc makes them an overly attractive target.
Comment Places where tips are a thing usually want it. (Score 2) 136
If it's tap-and-go then there's less opportunity to present a tip box to fill in.
Around here, places that don't regularly involve tips tend to not require a signature. But where tips are anticipated, then a signature is almost always "required". Its Oh So Convenient that you've got the pen and are about to write just next to the tip box.
The card I use most often doesn't even have a signature sample. Most card machines will print "Signature not required" but tip-anticipated places will often still ask for a signature in a bit of spare space.

Opened it 3 times in Firefox private mode, got 3 different results, all apparently "unique".
Chrome private browsing seems consistent, but much slower.
