Considering the article is ~~AI-generated~~ AI-refined, "ensuring that every article is engaging, clear and succinct," I think the original source or a better outlet would be preferable

Privacy.com's cards offer that feature (allegory the original selling point for me was that I could use them alongside any name/address). It's helped me cut down on attempted fraud a couple times too.

I think it's technically a payment processor, but functionally it's more like a proxy between a bank and online shops/services

This is why I use masked cards to sign up for these services. I lock them in at a certain price per month, and if that price goes up on its own, then they'll suddenly discover they don't have my money.

Not that it should require a hack like that, mind you...

(The company is also teasing its next-generation Fairbuds 2 wireless earbuds, launching later this year, which it says set “a new bar for repairability and performance.”)

I wish they could figure out a type of earbuds that wouldn't require batteries. Sadly, it seems that technology is either unachievable or lost to time.

Incredible research from Inside Climate News. Nice to see a news source that reports on well-done work and not just a retweet for a change.

In the span of seven days, the homepage went from boldly declaring that “shifting to clean energy isn’t an option, it’s the solution,” to saying it is “building energy infrastructure for America” to “Drive American energy dominance.”

From greenwashing to nationalism in one week.
