So the other day I wanted to display a few keyboard shortcuts to my fellow coworkers. I wanted to display those shortcuts in a visual way, not just the keystrokes, but actually a representation of the key with the icons and all.

I work in the field of online-marketing but this info is still quite shocking:
When purchasing items on the internet (especially airline tickets), use incognito mode on your browser. We use your own cookies against you: raising the price on tickets the more times you check, as you shop around for better deals. That way you’ll think the price is going up or that seats are being actively sold – thus increasing your urgency to buy, and punishing you for trying to get a good deal.

Are you comfortably with every „like“ you ever did being shown to your friends in an ad (possibly multiple times)
I don’t even remember anymore what I liked a couple years ago but your friends might as time isn’t relevant for the social-ad: Something you liked a few years ago could very well be shown to your friends just now in an ad.
Ok, so how do you disallow this? Luckily there is a setting and even a direct link to it:
Edit this setting now
