They tend to have hidden SSIDs. Just a network without a name that your phone doesn't see

Because when I told the taxi driver that I was "a bit peckish", rather than take me to a nice greasy spoon where I can swallow a nice meal in 5 minutes, pay $5 and leave.... he took me to the Ritz where I had to wait for a waiter to talk my ear off about the pastrami whilst being presented a wine menu.
I ain't got time for that, I just wanted to satiate my hunger!
unfortunately, sometimes the chef likes to ascend from a golden staircase first to tell you about who they are and what the meal means to them, whilst passionately discussing their good friend's VPN company, before finally, dramatically, letting you actually sit down and eat.
It wasn't always like that. I remember when dishes were thrown fresh out of the kitchen without even a "heads up" call. Those were good meals.
Ah, I think you're right. I actually learned the word first from a Cory Doctorow novella I, Robot (no, not Asimov), and there I can see it's definitely spelled with a "C".
My ex was Italian-German, so linguistically "C" felt right for her when writing, but to spell it out she would use a "K" since the letter C in german doesn't exist (yeah okay it does but not by itself, and if it does then it's mostly from imported words... like capeesh....), and I've probably overwritten the spelling of "capeesh" in my head from that.
PianOli: A little toy piano for your kids to play without being able to swipe out and mess with your other apps.
Flashlight: Flashlight from the Simple suite, that allows you to pulse or strobe your phone's torch. It can even pulse SOS messages.
Moonlight: Stream your entire desktop (e.g. gaming PC) to your phone using the sunshine (previously nvidia gamestream) protocol. Works fantastic.
starred this comment, great recommendations
I'd also like to add:
WiFiAnalyzer: Find empty channels to put your network into, and also scan hotel rooms for hidden wifi cameras
GPSTest: Debug your GPS signal to see why its taking so long to lock on.
meta: I think you should invert the rules, so that if you have done it, you downvote. The winner with the most votes is then the rarest of them all
