Yeah the one on my lap right now would be opening every can available.

I can’t help but read these as though the characters are always yelling at each other. Bold, all caps text, that’s just how it comes across in my head. LIKE THIS.

One is my bank, so, kinda, yeah. That one just has the “active” triggers, so it’s easy enough to click-click and then login.

I forget what the other one I hit occasionally is, I just did it the other day, too. That one I actually have to type a character then delete it after the password manager fills in so I can log in.

I can’t figure out why they are doing this…I guess it’s so that you don’t accidentally try to log in before typing username and password, but…

The time and attendance software at my old job would do that. It took me a while to figure out that it wasn’t me forgetting the password, the password had just expired. Extremely frustrating.

I do, but more and more sites are unintentionally (or intentionally?) making them hard to use, by relying on Javascript triggers, like requiring typing in each field or at least putting each field into focus, before the “log in” button becomes active.

Damn, that’s unhinged. Thanks for the info.

Then what is helpful? Not this fucking comic.

This is an interesting spelling of “burger”.

Damn, aps support?! I assume you have to take the negatives out of the cartridge.

There’s a seller on ebay that 3D prints negative holders for the scanner I have, so for example I could scan the 110 cartridge (not the really old roll film) negatives I have. I wonder if he makes one to do APS.

But on the other hand, the APS camera I had was cheap, point and shoot, and the prints came back with a note that they were severely overexposed, so it probably wasn’t even working correctly. Not much point in spending money to save some forgettable shots of a local river.

Yeah. I don’t remember how many of the pictures I scanned were prints, but it was quite a few, maybe close to 1,000. As I said, just watched TV and did it. It’s pretty mindless once you get into the groove doing it.

Like I said before, I did try to find the negatives and scan those instead when possible. Better quality and more efficient. But for quite a few, no negatives. I also had to take pictures out of frames and stuff like that. My parents wedding picture was in a cardboard frame I had to disassemble carefully…

I have an Epson scanner, though I’d have to check the exact model. The one I have has the light so I can scan negatives or prints, but if you’re only doing prints you wouldn’t need that feature.

I used Vuescan to do it. Paid software, but none of the open source options were as smooth for high volume scanning (this was some years ago, so that might have changed). Vuescan did a pretty good job of adjusting colors and all automatically after the scan. It was worth the money for the time savings alone.

Basically just sit there, load the print, hit scan, wait, remove the print, repeat. You’ll learn the sound of the scanner when it’s returning to the top of the glass, at which point the print is safe to remove even if the software is still processing. That saves a little time.

It’s tedious, no question. Scanning negatives is better because you can get up to six in one shot. Get a second negative holder and you can have one scanning while you’re setting up the other one. It took me months and months.

Also consider culling the pictures you scan. Did I need to scan all of those rolls of the bridge construction? Nah.

Edit - your comment has me thinking, I need work in winter time. Maybe this could be a side job…

Our cleaners are wizards at pulling the optical audio cable out of our sound bar or television. It’s not too short or anything like that, but it’s happened at least half the times they have been here. And it’s behind the sound bar and television. I can’t figure out why it’s always that specific cable. Plenty of others nearby.

Should’ve called me, we have several of those cables around. And that’s after culling the herd of those cables we used to have!

Oh we should start a community for, “I need this cable…” where we can all help each other out!

Some years back I embarked on a project to scan my parents pictures. I think there were over 4,000 until I was done. I don’t remember the ratio, but there were some negatives and some prints. Oh and trying to unduplicate (this picture is a print of this negative) was a bear, because the prints and pictures had sometimes gotten separated.

I set up the scanner in the living room and worked on it while we were watching TV. It took months, but I did it.

Then I did my in-laws’ pictures, who didn’t have nearly as many, fortunately. And they were better organized to start, so that felt like a walk in the park by comparison.

I noticed my parents took a ton of pictures of my older brothers, but very few of me… But there were a ton of pictures of the bridge construction next to their house… Hmmm!

I think he meant he kept 80 TB of storage.

I haven’t had time to respond to this, but, on a related note…

I bought my car new in 1999, and I still love driving it. Many years ago, say 2003 or so, I bought a resistor to enable to daytime running lights, then I realized I needed other components, and never got around to finishing the job.

A few weeks ago, a guy from the car club asked if I still had it, because he wanted to enable the daytime running lights and that was the last piece he needed, and no one seemed to have one. I looked and looked but couldn’t find it anywhere. I think I threw it away a few months ago, figuring I wouldn’t ever need it.

Sorry, bud. I had that thing sitting around for two plus decades, only to need it a few weeks after I tossed it.

So we should report a bug to the lemmy developers?

Apparently strings of numbers mess with Lemmy. I don’t see my icq number at all in the app I use, Boost. For you it formatted badly. Very strange.

Are they not escaping text input adequately? Because that shouldn’t happen…

I turned off those modem noises.

I still have a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 with the beautiful aluminum case.

Facebook, Myspace, etc. all came after I finished grad school.

I tried to get into it on the relaunched site a few years ago, but it didn’t work. I might have used my university email account as the recovery email, and that account is long gone.

But…why? I doubt anyone else that I know is using it…
