Back when computers were actually expensive and wireless networking technology wasn’t as good/common, they would take your card to the back office and run it on the single, hardwired card terminal.
Nowadays it’s less of an issue as those terminals cost peanuts and WiFi is ubiquitous so they have many of them and can just bring one to your table.
When there was only a single terminal it was common in Europe to just... walk to the counter and pay for the meal card in hand. No other way to type in your PIN
Not universally true. I had a couple of cards without a chip because, reasons. I still was walking to the counter myself, because giving somebody my card feels weird.
I was having lunch at a hotel bar in Vegas a number of years back. A Brit, I think, was paying for his meal and he was like "why are they taking my card???" So I explained. In my experience in the UK, they don't want to even touch your card.
You can view lessons in "reference mode" -- to get there, just click on the old task and then on the name of the topic.
You can also get there from the Table of Contents -- to get there, go to your dashboard (where your learning tasks are), click on the name of your course in the top-left, and you'll be brought to a screen that says "Course Sequence" with a list of courses on the left and units on the right. If you expand the units, you'll see topics, and you can click on a topic to view its lesson in reference mode.
Note that XP & knowledge credit is only awarded for completing learning tasks on your dashboard, not for anything you do within a lesson in reference mode.
Not sure, but looking at the interface myself just now, it seems like it's always possible to see the latex of a math field by either
1) right-click > show math as > tex commands (which you can copy/paste), or
2) hover over the field and see the tex commands show up as hover text (but can't copy/paste)
Yes, but it's not included in the upstream Ubuntu security repository. In fact, it's not available via any repository AFAIK. It updates itself via fetching new versions from CrowdStrike backend according to your update policy for the host in question. However, as we've learned the past days, that policy does not apply to the "update channel" files...
