Neither, lol. Just happened across the comment within five minutes of it being posted. I think it was one of the first times I visited HN today.
The first first time, or the second first time, maybe the third?

How is that a worse experience? I don’t have to mess around the bill to add a tip, I just punch it into the machine and then tap my card or phone. It also makes it super easy to split a bill if you are in a group.
You don’t mind the waiter/waitress standing over you while you decide how much to tip them?

Because normally you aren’t supposed to just let strangers wander off with your credit cards.
I offer up 40 years of my life as a counter example. Maybe it's a bit city thing, idk, but this is not the norm where I'm from. You get the bill, put your card in it, they take it and run it, bring it back, and you sign the receipt.

That’s insane. Here in Canada the waiter/waitress brings a portable pos terminal to the table and you pay through that. I’d be incredibly uncomfortable if they ran away with my credit card.
Why is that insane? I think a more appropriate description would be "perfectly normal".

I guess it seems normal, just like in your country it probably seems "perfectly normal" to have people walking around with deadly weapons.
I can understand it being hard to reckon with when one’s primary understanding of government stems from a familiarity with countries founded in accordance with the desires of a handful of pre-existing, regional groups (as opposed to a country founded with explicit mechanisms by which new groups can achieve representation).
Whoa, very cool project, I would be keen to try it out if it worked on Linux.

We had that locally. They're abandoning it, citywide. Nobody liked it, it was cumbersome and invasive, it involved your credit card anyway but was a worse experience for everybody.

It was a terrible idea.

I run NoScript, and the way this block is constructed makes it impossible to actually enable JavaScript to run the site. Please don't redirect to a static page, because that page doesn't have any of the JavaScript present to enable on a case-by-case basis, the the redirect happens so fast I have no chance to enable JavaScript…
Also I'm surprised html even allows for non-JS redirects.

Right, and while they're away, they take a photo of both sides of your card and then sell that to someone, who uses it for credit-card fraud.
For Windows, there is also TimseSnapper [1], not open source, but the developer is sometimes here on HackerNews [1] https://timesnapper.com/
Cheers, yeh, I am here a bit.
Surprised to see that "Maintain aspect ratio" is only there in the pro version. Maintaining the aspect ratio should be a basic feature.
