    Jerks do push all the buttons to make everyone else wait. It's why newer elevator systems are often configured to ignore those if too many floor buttons get pressed at once.

    For this, I blame Reddit. Yes, I thought the same when I was new.

    Shouldn't have to replace the aircon/heat-pump components, only the controller hardware. OP indicated that a new control system would be about $1700 (I assume AUD), or 14-17% of th…

    You got all the same answers I did, which helps me determine how good my sleuthing skills are. I used exclusively strings, either API routes, error codes, or version/build numbers.…

    Thanks a bunch to you and thenickdude for the test command and config to change. I have an old VPS that isn't worth trying to update to a newer OS image, because I'm already (slowl…

    Oy. The morally correct way would be to, at minimum, allow subscribers to opt out. It might even be acceptable if opting out was a "feature" of their paid plans. The tiniest consol…

    Some modern clients (or clients-as-services) build in image/file sharing.

    A lot of personal sites such as this one are built on a public repo someplace, and one is often invited to submit typo corrections etc. upon finding the source. In this case, thoug…

    As an example, the options where I am right now (thankfully temporary) are: - $55/mo. 3 Mbps DSL - $80/mo. 300 Mbps cable (or even more expensive, faster cable) - $120/mo. 100+ Mbp…

    Ooooof, at least in the genres I tend to listen to, SME (and numerous sublabels thereof) are basically impossible to avoid. I can take advantage of how low streaming payouts are, I…

    They might be preventing new malicious actors from signing up. Maybe. Catching a lot (anecdotally, from this thread) of legit users along the way. Meanwhile, what have they done to…

    It doesn't work on iOS? I was about to comment how impressed I was that it works (and pretty smoothly) on mobile—but I'm on Android over here. Wonder what's not supported in Safari…

    Avoidant as I am of Apple's ecosystem, I can only imagine the "security" justification for serializing a display panel. Covert exfiltration of sensitive information from password m…

    First-hand experience tells me that Verizon has eSIM working, at least for their free trials. "You can participate in Verizon Free Trial with an eSIM-compatible smartphone." ( http…

    What's funny is I have yet to encounter anyone IRL who talks to Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant often enough to notice. Maybe building chatbots as a layer beneath the existing vir…

    This cover sounds like something that could easily be illegal depending on the location. Quick research says that license plate covers are "Allowed" in just 16/50 states, though I …
