That's understandable, but not the point of the comic.

Some sites don't just off apps but require them for service.

I read fan translated stories. I tried the paid officially licensed website. Forced app. Tried it. DRM bullshit. Can't even download a chapter. Tried website on desktop.

Website literally told me to get a phone and the app...

They never saw another penny from me. I started donating to fan translations groups and just using machine translations.

Edit: name and shame.

I forget the stupid name but webtoon.com got into web novels and it was the absolute worst experience. The translation was fine but slow, extremely expensive and loaded with DRM. If I "unlock" something to read I'd like to download a copy.

To hell with your "you own nothing" business model. Shit I could buy physical copies of books for cheaper than their crap.

I bet mobile phone shoppers are more prone to impulse purchases.

When I first tried Temu I think I ordered like $50 of items that I didn't need to rely on while doomscrolling in bed. Thinking it's the same china knockoff from amazon but cheaper.

I tried to return most of it and they told me to keep it with a return. It ended up in the trash. Yeah fuck Temu...

Could I add this feature to my partner?

This is the way. I use Bitwarden and Aegis.

The issue here is putting Bitwarden on your phone with OTP in Bitwarden.

I'm a little concerned about having OTP and passwords together in one system.

Car all now gather information and manufacturers sell this data to anyone.

This means they're often maintaining those extra communications/sensor systems.

Car also have things like sonar detectors, cameras, smart stereo systems and more. I could understand how drivers assistance or media systems that connect to ever changing cell phones need updates.

How a dead radio prevents the car from running would just be bad design. Shit should be isolated and NOTHING should prevent the car from simply running.

The legacy systems that made a car work 20 years ago should stay isolated from all the smart shit slapped on it. Lane guidance, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking and the like are nice but shouldnt stop the car from working.

"For driver safety" they prevent the car from working until X component is repaired.

When you test in prod all bugs are release mode.

Starting to watch local markets.

This one feels like a scam or stolen at $175 even if all the batteries are shot.

I needed two similar pieces of wood to prevent my sofa from banging against the wall and damaging it.

Cut the pieces and it was ugly and misshapen. Have a hand pane so I shaved off the jagged bits.

Miter boxes don't help when you can't keep a saw steady.

Just bought my first home and still unpacking.

The list of things to fix is ever growing. The bathroom vanity latch is the first one the list!

We're hoping to renovate but in the meantime one door won't open (latch) and two mirrors shake when you open them.

Latch is an easy fix. Got parts locally. Replaced the broken one. Wife loves the loud strong click. Wants them all upgraded. Good thing I bought upgrades too. So they're all new now. Shame they're not tan but the click is good.

The mirrors are peeling off the wood. Uninstalled, glued and reinstalled.

Glued them up, put weight on it overnight to cure. Cardboard under the mirrors to protect them. Wood to direct pressure and tools to weigh it down.

I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it... Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It's so satisfying to just glide open!

Edit: She followed up with: "you're enjoying yourself too much"
Damn straight I am. It's the little things you have to enjoy!

I borrowed some landscaping tools from my brother in law and he offered his old air compressor since he doesn't use it. Broken tube. Easy normal part to replace.

Got a air compressor accessories kit on the way home. Replaced the hose and tip. Plugged it in outside. Left it for 10 minutes...

Never turned off. Hmm. Might be one of those that have a release valve and not auto shutoff.

20 PSI? That's odd. Unplugged it. Hissing...
Air coming out the bottom. Maybe a puncture?

Found the spot. Got 80 grit sandpaper and 3300 PSI rated epoxy. Sanded and found rust.

Patched it and my spidey sense went off while looking at the epoxy...

Did a search:

A leaking air compressor tank—especially with a leak on the bottom where corrosion is likely—can be extremely dangerous, even if "repaired" with epoxy or other sealants. The primary risk is catastrophic rupture under pressure. If the integrity of the tank is compromised (for example, by internal rust or a patched-up hole), the tank can explode with explosive force, launching shrapnel and causing severe injury or death, as well as property damage

When tanks rupture, the velocity of air and shrapnel can be lethal. For example, a 60-gallon tank at 150 PSI can explode violently, creating 680 mph air blasts and extremely loud noise, both of which are highly hazardous for bystanders

Nope! Tossing it!
Dodged a nearly literal bullet there.
