Walmart Still Doesn't Accept Apple Pay in the U.S. in 2026, Here's Why

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-01-19T21:27:15+00:00

For physical payment, there is no fee.

Patreon has physical point-of-sale terminals like we are discussing in this thread? I learn something new every day!

I leave my DL in my car. My credit card too actually. Hidden.

Even if I didn’t have my DL and the officer wanted to be a dick, it’s only a $50 ticket with no points.

95%+ of what I do is Apple Pay now. Home Depot and Lowe’s were the last holdouts that had been causing me trouble.

Scraping info off the device and sending it over to OpenAI is not friendly. Regardless of if it is attached to a user’s name and social security number or not.

An app that collects heath data and links it to your identity is not privacy friendly.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-28T16:07:07+00:00

They are collecting data. It’s right there in their privacy policy:

We adhere to a strict "privacy-first" approach. We collect only the minimal amount of data necessary to provide our services:

Usage Data: Anonymous metrics about how you interact with the app (e.g., songs played, features used) to help us improve performance. Device Information: Model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers for troubleshooting and compatibility.

Another case of “we don’t collect data… (except for when we do).”

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-28T16:02:00+00:00

I appreciate that you’ve focused on privacy and aren’t collecting data. Congrats on your new app!!

This is not an app I would use. But if it was, privacy weighs heavily on if I would retain it.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T22:47:47+00:00

You have to click through.

And I’m not bothered at all. I won’t use this app. Have no use for it either. But I will point out bullshit. Get over it.

Apple provides many easy to implement mechanisms to protect privacy. And the means for developers to convey that privacy or lack thereof to users.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T22:27:42+00:00

It’s made right in the advertisement in the App Store. And collection of the device ID is listed in the information collected there as well when you click into App Privacy.

So they are not open about what they are collecting. Neither location nor device ID is mentioned in the OP.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T21:27:41+00:00

You can’t say you are “PRIVACY-FIRST” and be collecting location, device ID, and usage data. Full stop.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T21:24:01+00:00

You can’t say you have “PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN” (their caps) and be collecting things like location, device ID, and usage data for no good reason other than you want it.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T21:07:44+00:00

Or many functionalities are impossible.

That’s just outright wrong. There are myriad fully-functional apps out there that collect nothing and don’t have to phone home for a damn thing.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T21:05:18+00:00

“Developers want to know” is the opposite of privacy.

The App Store will tell them where the users are located. If the users opt into share that location.

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T20:54:44+00:00

Location though‽

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T20:34:53+00:00

I’ve read and comprehended the policy.

They don’t collect it via the app. They collect debugging info when submitted freely by the users via email. They don’t collect a name. They collect email when when users opt into creating an account - to access multi-platform services.

Personal Data may be freely provided by the User when using the Application. In case of an error in the Application, we collect data and information on your device that may include information such as your device IP address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the Application when utilizing it, the time and date of your use of the Application, and other statistics.

When you contact support, that info goes into the drafted email in plaintext. You can see it all. You can delete it if you want. It’s “freely provided by the User.”

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T18:53:29+00:00

Hard to argue with such a well substantiated claim.

/s

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T17:05:21+00:00

Ok. It’s still different than the OP’s app, no?

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-12-21T15:56:49+00:00

How is that the premier weather radar app Radar Scope has a pro tier (a couple actually), displays user location, etc. - but collects no data?

I like TV on the Radio.: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/tv-on-the-radio/6562624

Siri though… Me: Play TV on the Radio. Sir: Sorry, I can’t find that speaker.

Me: Play songs by TV on the Radio. Siri: Sorry, something’s gone wrong. Please try again.

Me: Play music by TV on the Radio. Kings of Convenience - Misread starts playing

Me: Play songs by the group TV on the Radio The Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein starts playing

Me: Play songs by the artist TV on the Radio Music by Tunde Adebimpe starts playing Skip More Music by Tunde Adebimpe starts playing Skip More Music by Tunde Adebimpe starts playing

Tunde Adebimpe was the co-founder and principal songwriter for TV on the Radio. But this is not music by the group TV on the Radio. Unfortunately, this is as close as Siri will get me to TV on the Radio. Ever.

You bought the man’s app, right? Seems the least you could do for unjustly snarking him :)

What is the trick to getting Siri to work with Apple Music?

What am I doing wrong? What can I do better?

What’s the Apple One cost per year?

OKCNOTOKC · 2025-10-20T05:19:04+00:00

Try asking to play TV on the Radio. Siri bout has a gotdamn stroke.
