  • I haven’t used this in a bit so I thought I’d check it. They somewhat recently updated the desktop program and nothing works at all now. It appears to be just Edge pretending to be another program. It’s literally just a browser, so surround sound doesn’t work now.

    It’s a weird thing for them to do. Why would anyone download a copy of edge that can only watch Netflix? You’d just use a browser.






  • I’d rather see all companies pass their fees only to those using credit cards. Then there are no external costs and everyone is in the clear about what’s going on. I like the convenience of credit cards, and sometimes I’d be happy to pay the extra fee. Other times I don’t. I suspect many people are the same eay.

    In the US it was ruled that card companies cannot stop vendors from passing on costs, so you see a lot more of that now. By raising awareness of the issue, it will continue to progress toward that system. It will also foster competition, where card processors will be inclined to lower fees because customers will see the charges, whereas before they were invisible.


  • Well, this it ignores the external costs. Companies are charged by the credit processors and those fees get passed to customers. Some vendors will explicitly charge more for credit, but most vendors just raise prices for everyone. The amount of money you get in points doesn’t cover the added costs.
