I just had to book a flight.

Frontier forces you to download an app now to check in (there is a well hidden option to do it on web, but the page never loads on laptop nor mobile in multiple browsers).

I tried to rent a parking spot, and 2/4 places would not load quotes at all (again web and mobile and multiple browsers). I probably would’ve used one of the two that didn’t load if their sites had worked. Their loss I guess.

I’d just like it to not feel like each interaction I have with technology, and I guess by extension the world, is becoming increasingly adversarial. The tech itself seems to keep getting better though.

I think the best course of action is to find an cut the antenna or it’s trace on the board (and verify). Sounds a lot easier than it is though.

edit: or also pull the modem fuse, if it has one

Also, horse is bigger/more visible to cars, and maybe could be in the street. So you may not have to wait on traffic crossings as much depending on the area.

I still choose e-bike because poo, but what a looney idea, I love it.

Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

Do you mean abominations? lol.

It already has an account, and nobody who gets that number keeps it for long, it may not even be assigned anymore because of how much spam it probably receives.

Pay cash when available, keep cards for when it’s not or it’d be a hassle (your discretion).

FYI for those reading this, it is just an image of the unopened mail. They don’t open it for you. You see who it’s from and when it is supposed to arrive.

Also isn’t LoRa proprietary/patent encumbered?

Spray paint until it stops getting replaced

• gmail you can forward all mail to another account.
• Youtube, you could try following your subscriptions via RSS/ATOM feed reader. It’s honestly just like regular YT but without the recommendation engine.

Fair. I just learned about and like PeerTube so far (activitypub federated video hosting), but it’s has even more infantile adoption than Lemmy does. I don’t know that anyone I follow on youtube posts there, and if they do I don’t know how to find them.

I think the panic around analog clocks comes from the scenario where you have to explain what clockwise and counterclockwise is. I have personally seen someone eventually removed from a workgroup because they couldn’t understand it.

Not that analog clocks matter, but that was an easy way to teach direction in cylindrical coordinates. What can we use now for that?

+1 for syncthing.

Always get the version of the gadget with replaceable batteries unless you want a brick in 3-10 years. Additionally, prefer 18650, AA, AAA batteries, and keep some rechargeable ones around.

It’s not the biggest, but it still is a concern, and is exceedingly easily mitigated.

It at least used to be adaptive because at one point it went to 500$ for me, then changed back down a couple months later.

For privacy.com:

• great for anyone in the USA
• don’t worry about difficult subscription cancellations again, just turn that one’s dedicated card off
• I have personally blown past the daily spend limit of 250$ without issue, idk if that limit is real. The 1000$/mo may be though I’ve never hit that.
• I’ve used privacy.com for everything from Amazon to car insurance to gym memberships.

On credit freezes:

• a freeze means that your consumer report will not be shared, which means applications for credit in your name will be denied
• all USA consumer reporting agencies (data brokers) are legally required to freeze sharing of your reports for free upon your request
• you can temporarily unfreeze when you get a new credit card, apply for rental property, etc.
• don’t let them upsell it or try to direct you to another page with similar language, it is free
• credit monitoring products need to request your report to see if any new accounts have opened. Don’t monitor it, prevent it by freezing the reports
• freezes are required for any data broker, not just credit. This includes LexisNexis (job history), and presumably the ones that do rental and vehicle ownership history though i don’t know their names.

My favorite was the password set screen allowing up to 64 characters, but login fails if the password is over 32 chars.
