According to the survey, the commonest tip sits between 6 and 10 percent of the bill. Seventeen percent of diners object to the preset amount on the card terminal — they feel pushed into tipping.
Editor's note. The survey was published by a firm that builds loyalty schemes for merchants, one side of the terminal argument. How many people were asked, nowhere.
VMS Vision
A statutory limit on phones in lessons does not mean classrooms without technology, the text argues: a personal device distracts, while equipment bought for the classroom is meant to help the teacher explain and involve the class.
Editor's note. The distinction between a „personal device“ and „classroom technology“ is drawn by a firm that sells schools the latter. There is no data in the text; it is an opinion.
epet energie
Survey findings: nearly a third of people have experienced an electric shock, and one case in ten involved a child. Over a fifth of households with children use no socket covers, almost a third leave appliances within children's reach, and one in five does not know how to put out a burning appliance.
Editor's note. The survey was paid for by an energy company; Ipsos collected the data. How many people were asked, and how the question was put, is not in the release.

Foundation data: 47 % of parents show off photos of their children, 51 % share information that makes a child locatable and 27 % post unsuitable or naked pictures. The RODIcheck tool, built with experts and the Czech police, analyses an uploaded photo and flags what makes it risky.
Editor's note. The tool is free and was built with the Czech police. Where the 47, 51 and 27 percent come from is not stated. Nor is what happens to a photo a parent uploads.
AURES Holdings
Between January and July 1,356 used cars of Chinese makes changed hands in the country, 57 % more year on year. Three in four carried the MG badge (1,015 units), BYD 73 and Jaecoo 67. For scale: 125,068 used Škodas sold in the same period, 26 % of the whole second-hand market.
Editor's note. The used-car figures were published by someone trading in that market. Whether they cover the whole market or only cars from its own lots is not distinguished.
Index prosperity
In the digitalisation and infrastructure pillar the country rose from fourteenth to seventh among the EU's twenty-seven, between Estonia and Hungary. Public transport and progress in e-government drove the gain. Broadband coverage remains the worst in the whole union.
Editor's note. The ranking does not hide that Czechia comes last in the union on fast internet coverage — worth noting for figures from an interested party. Who funds the index and how it weights its indicators is nowhere to be seen.
Linka okamžité psychické podpory
The immediate psychological support line started operating today across the country. It offers professional help by phone to people from the age of fifteen who need it now and do not want to wait weeks for an appointment — in anxiety, personal crisis, burnout, overload or problems with addiction.

Editor's note. The line announced itself. Who pays for it, who stands behind it professionally, when it is open and what a call costs — the reader learns none of it.
Air Bank
A QR code does not show where it leads until you scan it — and that is what quishing rests on: a fake code redirects to an imitation of your bank, a payment gateway, a courier or a public office and tries to extract login details.
Editor's note. The advice on not losing money while paying comes from a bank. How many people here have actually been caught by quishing, it does not say.
Seyfor
The release argues that the main risk in adopting artificial intelligence is not the technology but dependence on a single model vendor.
Editor's note. The warning against depending on a single AI vendor comes from a vendor that sells integration. It rests on no data and no survey.
Skanska
The Prague 4 district and Skanska opened the refurbished underpass beneath 5. května street near Pankrác; it links the area towards Sdružení street and is meant to ease children's route to school. The work was paid for by the developer building nearby.
Editor's note. The underpass was refurbished by the developer building nearby. Neither the cost nor who looks after it from now on is stated.
