I love picking locks and have a few pick sets for that matter.

:unlocked:

Edit:
On a side note, why is Google insisting more than ever that I use the local language on the internet!? I hate it! And https://www.google.com/ncr no longer helps! I’m getting tons of results in fusking Spanish now…

:emoji_facepalm:

Oh American Locks are so fun. Love that you can swap out the cores.

Something tells me that mechanical limitations are the problem with increasing the speed… Eventually the mechanical limits of those annoying cubes will be reached…

In other news, TIL that there’s a translucent version of the Gundam Exia, and I need one.

And I’m looking for short multimeter leads. Apparently Probe Master is the only company that makes 24 inch ones, and I should probably order some.

I almost made the same response until I saw this ^

Aside from the pop in animations I like the store’s new CSS themes, though I’m getting the performance and accessibility issues that I expect from any site that has a loading bar. Setting my preferred browser aside, even in firefox it’s choppy and makes my fans spin just having a tab open. When I open a drop-down menu, my text cursor doesn’t move to that menu. The hexcodes, 3D models, and minigames are amusing, but I wonder if putting the latter on their own pages would help performance?

Will have to take some more time getting used to the new layout, finding my way around the site, and seeing if I notice any other issues. So far it seems to still be arranged basically how we expect a website should be arranged.

Bought from DT and from Jackery recently and noticed you both use the same checkout system. Seems a clean, performant design.

One thing very noticibly improved is the search function on mobile, which wasn’t on the previous one.
Also the catergories are more logical, whereby there were menus that were lock compatibility based previously.

So a tidy up and more functional with a couple of themes to choose from.

The 1100’s are a lot of fun. And going from the 90-a back to it is actually nice in the hands. The 90a is pretty rough

Sorry for the delay–I meant to respond to this.

You can turn these off under accounts → settings. Also, you can just shut off javascript and it should work fine. I only have one user doing this and I’ve gotten zero bug reports so I assume it’s good enough :sweat_smile:

Shopify. Plenty of quirks and annoyances but overall, so far I’m quite happy with it.

Continuing with the test equipment theme, I’m thinking about getting a Klein MM450 along with the 24" Probe Master’s as a replacement for my old Sanwa PM300. A little multimeter that doesn’t take too much room and is easy to put away is a great addition for any lab or desk.

AI is always a hot topic and seen several posts in here recently and thought I’d share this, that Denzel video Amal posted was..

NUTS!

And in the spirit of that; Call this number…

I hung up. Too freaky. Uncanny valley. It’s AI though and it’s unbelievably good. Very very soon you won’t be able to tell that you’re talking to a bot, unless you ask it ā€˜Turing’ like questions.

The Bland AI product is literally explaining itself to you if you ask the right questions. Very crazy. And the inference was really fast, we tried to throw it off with Elmo and Cookie Monster stealing cookies and she was saying she would protect us from him. It was hilarious. I also had a little fun with it.

ā€œHello, this is Norma from Bland AI, who am I speaking with?ā€ ā€œI have a lithium ion battery and it’s on fire what do I do?ā€ ā€œStay calm, please hang up and call 911 sirā€ ā€œI did and they told me to call you!!!ā€ ā€œSir this call is now being disconnected please call 911 sirā€ – Click –

P.S. (I’m away a lot with a 5 wk old and a 2.5 yr old and work). If I’m lucky I get an hour of me time at the end of the day, but I always enjoy this forum and the discussions and references they’re too numerous to reply to all of them but please know to keep it coming.

Read an interesting article about AI agents plaguing call centers on behalf of customers trying to handle rate adjustments, refunds, etc. My heat bleeds, ya know…

Sadly, it’s now paywalled.

Wait! I found the yahoo (unlocked) version.
