I have experienced the same login bug on the Mlem app as well. One of my devices stayed logged in and is working perfectly; my other device logged me out of lemmy.ml and I have not been able to log back in on that device.

Not daily, but weekly or so.

My dad had a little leather zipper pouch with two or three nail clippers and files/blades in it; a small pocket sized nail care set.

I used it weekly when I was a kid (every time I’d visit his place), probably from 9-17 years old, and then he gave it to me when I moved out on my own, so I’ve probably used it weekly non-stop for about 30 years at this point.

Electronics are tougher as they just don’t last as long; I used a Dell 24” LCD from 2006 all the way until 2022, so 16 years? It even failed around 2015 or so (power supply died) and I ordered a replacement PSU, resurrecting it. That monitor was my PC monitor and TV in college, and just kept kicking.

Here’s the other fucking shoe dropping guys: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/11/chamberlain-blocks-smart-garage-door-opener-from-working-with-smart-homes/

No it’s worse than that. All iOS browsers need to use a Safari (WebKit) web view as far as I understand. So any browser on iOS is literally just barebones Safari with a different UI and possibly a different user agent.

In fact, until recently this was even worse as Safari on iOS enjoyed some accelerations/optimizations that the web views did not get to leverage; so for a while all iOS browsers were not only Safari, but they were slower Safari.

Yep, the new Bravias with Android TV or whatever give you a choice as a part of the first time setup that essentially disables all the smart features. I had the same experience.

Cutting Edge Engineering is one of my favorites. Basically an Aussie couple that runs a machine shop where they do very large repairs on parts for heavy equipment. Loads of lathes, milling, boring, welding, all explained and filmed perfectly.

Sometimes the operator is in another state! There was an article I read a while ago about… maybe it was Carl’s Jr.? but they were saying that the drive thru operators were in call centers in states with a lower labor cost.

Not exactly uplifting, but “yay capitalism” I guess.

Chamberlain Group’s myQ Connected Garage service

Ahh yes, myQ; the service that is randomly up and down when you need it the most.

I had a Chamberlain myQ garage door opener and I hated it. I hated everything about it. It was slow, unreliable, the button doesn’t use a simple open/close contact for triggering the door (so you can’t easily DIY a solution with a relay board); and it just didn’t work half the time because “the cloud!”

$129 for 3 years? For what? For < 10 API requests per day? That’s insane.

Don’t most modern cars (the type that have CarPlay in them) also have programmable garage door buttons on the rear-view mirror?

I use this to cut through the bullshit of Prime Day deals or Black Friday. It shows you the historical price of a product.
