This is the type of pedantry that annoys me and yet I admire. Bravo, good fellow, I salute you

So i don’t know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.

Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there’s a few different designs.

Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol

Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure

They can take hours to dial every combination of an S&G lock. Cheaper locks are quicker. Most Sentry “safe” dials can be manipulated in minutes if you know what you’re doing, no dialer needed

These tools are also pretty expensive and difficult to source if you’re not in the industry

Turn the dial counterclockwise past your first number three times, stopping on it the fourth time. Dial clockwise to the second number three times, dial counterclockwise to the third number twice, turn the dial clockwise until you feel the bolt retract. The latch will engage at about 0 and the dial will turn no farther than 85, probably it will stop at 90. Turn the lock lever to open the door

Spent hours on that stupid safe.

Skill issue

Well I’m a Luddite so I’m probably exposing myself to miners or something

Well now I’ll like Jellyfin even harder

fuck Emby with a branding iron

I installed Plex before learning I’d have to pay for any of the functionality I was looking for. Installed Jellyfin and used the Plex folders lol

I’ve got a Samsung TV and am nearly a complete Luddite (in the colloquial sense).

I managed to install the Jellyfin app on my TV just by following the step by step instructions on a website

Jellyfin ftw

Hmmm, i use a Synology NAS with Jellyfin installed and my family can use their Roku TVs without issue. I didn’t realize Synology made a difference there

Top comment, really. Comprehensive and accurate

+1 for Jellyfin, all the features of Plex (that matter to me), none of the subscription costs.

I installed Jellyfin on my parent’s and sibling’s TVs and use direct play. I don’t get anything above 1080, lowest common denominator and all that. I set up kid’s shows and movies in separate folders and set up an account for my nieces and nephews, so my siblings can let them watch shows unmonitored without worrying what they’ll find. (I don’t trust the show ratings to work correctly) Meanwhile we can watch stuff like The Bear without the kids learning all of the Swears

Also i picked up a 16TB hdd for $250 a couple years ago so there’s that

I’m not sure, I’m using documents produced by a larger org. The message I get if i try to edit the locked parts is:

The author has locked parts of this document. You can make changes only to the unlocked parts.

Btw i tried using Google docs on these Word files and the formatting broke in all kinds of terrible ways.

I know the idea here is to maintain consistent branding among the franchises. Anything sent back to the parent org needs to be in docx format, with no changes to the locked elements. If that can be done with a FOSS program, great! Local use has more leeway, but broken formatting is a nonstarter

One of the organizations I work with uses Word docs with locked fields. How does only office do with that style of chestnut?

I’ve found Grayjay helps me hate YouTube less

Oh I ain’t dead, I’m just real depressed

If i knew of any execs near where i live they would be getting a front row seat to my reenactment of the Office Space printer scene.

It’s rare for me to viscerally hate someone just for existing, but if i met an HP exec I would have to exert quite a bit of self control to not beat them until I lost feeling in my hands

Hard disagree. I’m using g board, from Alphabet, which is about as concerned with privacy as a nudist exhibitionist with a shame kink. That is to say, privacy as a concept exists yes, but only to be perverted.

The only comfort is that I’m not the only one with random capitalization in my texts

All right, I’ll take a shot at it. What the hell, it works on Star Trek.
