Toot

So I bought a new garage door opener to replace my old one that’s 40+ years old. It doesn’t come with installation instructions.

You have to download an app that has the instructions. This app has instructions for hundreds of things which is nice, but I’m old and I would like to have a printed set of how to wire this thing up in case that app ever goes away (pro tip: print stuff and tape it to the top or back of that piece of equipment, the next person that has to fix it will thank you. And there’s a good chance you’ll be the next person that has to fix it.).

Also, there is a sticker sealing the documentation that says if I break it, I’m essentially agreeing to the licensing agreement terms of use and then there’s a URL.

@pluralistic this is a really new an interesting way to force people to agree to things.
