Every airport and every airline is different, and none of these tips are going to work consistently - to the point where they will not work as often as they will work.

I have never seen an Airline gate check a bag with the fee waived. I know it’s usually a big pain in the ass, so they won’t waive it.

In the meantime please enjoy hunting down this autoplay video for ______ while you hunt it down to disable it as it blasts out to everyone within 25 feet of you with ears, and make sure to click through to any one of the many, many, many Amazon links we paste in posts or create entire pages around so that we “may” get…

You could use the same reasoning about every article that you write. Oh is this content that I’m supposed to enjoy? a company profits from that.

You know what I do when commercials come on the Internet? I block them. You should do a post on the best way to to block all ads on Lifehacker, padded out with snark about how much the ads themselves suck.

Hilarious that an article on this ad-mindfield of a site is attacking commercialism. Hilarious that I’m reading it anyway...

It seems to be part of a larger trend here on Lifehacker. It used to be “Let’s make life easier” but now it’s just “Life is too hard.”

Too late, can’t hear you, riding off into the sunset! ;)

I’m seeing a very odd trend in Lifehacker Thanksgiving articles. Consider just over the past 24 hours:

“HotStepper is just a killer app waiting for the right platform, walking one step ahead of us.”
