Every country has a different way of securing cards, and north america sucks at it.

Depending on the payment processor, here in Canada you need my card number, as well as one or two of the following: PIN, Postal Code, CVV/CVC, a voice changer and my mother's maiden name, etc to do a transaction without my physical card.

With my physical card you don't even need that for $2-300 purchases (depending on retailer), or more if the retailer hasn't blocked swiping/the thief has access to a swiping card reader.

Just a heads up for screenshotting webtoons; you can do it if you load it up in your browser instead.

That being said, for ongoing series, I use the Mihon/tachiyomi webtoons extension, and if I can't read a series because its locked the mangasee extension rehosts everything the moment it is free (and usually the last few chapters are free for at least a little bit before their shit paywall goes up).

My biggest issue with webtoons is that basically no translation group will touch a series hosted there, and that webtoons doesn't hire skilled translators/typesetters, so it always feels like I am reading a fan translation.

I do not understand ever storing anything in the oven, its a cooking tool not a storage tool.

I will agree if you have a gas stove that checking the pilot light is a good idea, but those are becoming less common as we are discovering just how bad they are for your health - that, and induction is amazing for anything that doesn't require an open flame (and that's what bbqs are for!).

My car was too cheap to have an electric liftgate, though I don't know if I can open it with a dead battery - never tried, and never had a battery so dead it needed replacing that urgently. Very possible it doesn't open with a dead battery though, at least if the vehicle is locked when the battery dies.

An old escape maybe? Mine is a '21 and definitely not like that.

I wasn't trying to disprove the point, I was just curious what ford vehicles the battery is up front and impossible to remove.

And honestly, for how often a battery needs to be removed, under the spare tire in the back is not bad at all, and there are still jump points under the hood and easily accessible. Clearly labeled too.

Really? My battery is under my spare in the trunk.

My lithium batteries on the other hand I think you have to remove the back seats to access, but I honestly hope I can afford to trade it in before I need it.

Ah, didn't know it worked differently for spdif, never had anything nice enough to use it.

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

But there is a setting to disable that? I don't remember where I found it because I don't remember where to find any settings, but you can definitely disable automatic shut off of audio devices.

Its amazing how common that is.

Its almost like they know their views are terrible and hide them until they have built up enough of an audience to get away with voicing said views...
