Yale Real Living electronic locks have been great for me down to -30ish F. I’ve never used any of the wireless smarthome bits tho - just standalone locks.

Unless there's a rate limit for changing passwords I just rapidly change them X+1 times and arrive back at my original. This only applies to work stuff, which I don't keep in my password manager.

I'm going to guess that at least some of the people firen777 wants to message don't use those services.

IMO the biggest issue used to be that it wouldn't tell you the shipping cost until after you ordered. A few years ago they fixed that, but it still only gives you a total cost and doesn't tell you how your ordered is split into di

Weller uses TRS too. In my experience the connection is a little flaky, but I don’t know the provenance of the lab irons I’ve used; it wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve been abused. https://www.weller-tools.com/us/en&#x2F

If I get more emails after unsubscribing I file a complaint with the FTC, then forward the response I get from the FTC to support@<spammer.com>. So far that has a 100% success rate.

Do you recall why they said it was the safest? My first guess is because the pilots are paying more attention while flying through turbulence.

My comment isn't addressing whether they deserve anything or whether this arrangement is beneficial overall - I'm only recognizing that it's easier to deal with a single supplier rather than a multitude of them.

Receipts are commonly printed on thermal transfer spools to avoid the maintenance needed for printing with ink but this process is not as durable as using ink. Decide for yourself if this decision is made due to cost or a conspiracy.

It's different because you only have to figure out how to deal with Apple rather than discovering a new process for every app you want to install. Far lighter mental load.

I wish more engineering tools had an equivalent of diff. Manually redlining schematics and drawings is such a pain.

Lower resistance per weight doesn't seem right to me. Spot checking a few values on a chart provided by a wire manufacturer[0] shows that stranded wire has greater resistance per weight. Stranded wire is much more flexible, easier to w

This is an unsanctioned, under-the-table payment to someone in power in exchange for special treatment. You're saying this /may/ fall under bribery?

I think the majority of HN is aware of Big Tech's failure to create effective appeal processes. It's not exactly a secret. This service is still naked corruption, though.

I imagine the logistics of sourcing enough ingredients to supply a nationwide chain are much more complicated than a single local establishment, which pushes the nationwide chains towards more-consistent but lower-quality solutions like jus

Neither of those links demonstrate mishandling of location data collected via cell phone. They’re just regular misuse of data that would be possible even if nobody involved was carrying a phone.
