In the US, merchants spent years actually being forbidden (by the networks' merchant agreements, and even by law in some states) from adding a surcharge onto credit card transactions. That's mostly gone now (although I think the

The article says nine weeks before. The NYT article mentioned is in their archives [1], dated October 9, 1903, which would be 9 weeks and 6 days. Close enough, although I'd probably round up to 10 weeks. [1] https://nyti.ms

There is no EFI on Apple Silicon. It's a more iOS-ish pre-boot environment (based around iBoot and some other Apple-y things). There's also not exactly a boot picker in firmware-- that lives in the recovery OS. Which will also
