I do that too. I think it's a bit effective since I've seen a hundred dollars difference between work and home at different times of the day.

Easy. From work, they know is a business and will charge more. Unless you are at a non-profit business, or new shopper. The more shopping you do from a given IP at a smart server, the less of a deal they'll cut ya.
Never buy from Home.
Whatever you do, don't download that company's Android or iOS app, cuz then the really got ya.
I found that going to the Library, using their computers, signing up for a new GMail account (and staying logged in while trying) to then book flights, hotels, cars, etc., provided the largest discounts.

I recently read an article about a university study on price variations between different browsers and hardware (it might have even been from a CP news link!) I seem to remember that purchasing from an Apple device had a higher average price quoted (I could well be wrong!)
One company even has random price variations deliberately as a comparative test on market elasticity.
I could download and Android or iOS app with impunity (since I have no Android or Apple devices!)

I remember that article. Yes, Apple users were priced more since companies assume they have more money to spend.

The basic premise is that it is a true story and the journalist is trying to find out what really happened. The background is Boy meet girl[^], boy date girl, girl dump boy, girl deaded, boy prisoned.
Now, did he kill her? He says 'no' and the first episode, what I have listed to now, goes through the events of the day and a possible alibi that was never presented to the court. The style is very interesting; narrative interspersed with archive and interviews. There is probably as much opinion in it, so far, as there are facts.
I'll listen on and see where it leads [or is that leds?].

It's been well and professionally hyped.
So it's obviously worthless.
