And it's five digits. Of course. Aside from the stupidity of this in general, a 5 number PIN is UNLIKE EVERY OTHER FUCKING PIN I USE.

Jesus fucking Christ, Zuckerberg. Die screaming in a fire. Do you honestly fucking think I'm entering a goddamn PIN every time I want to list something on Facebook? Great, I'll make it 1-1-1-1-1. I'm sure that's allowed. Here we go.

FWIW, there are a few "big players" in the sports website management world. Its not just for 4 year olds.The same websites are used for old men too. LeagueApps and SportsNgin are the two that come to mind. There's a lot of money in these sports. The security is appropriate. You'll get used to it. :)

Probably not. I also wanted to make sure I got aisle seats. Ended up going through StubHub.

If you go to Coors Field, will the tix be cheaper at the box office?

Gonna take my nephew to see the Blue Jays next month.

Buying two tickets at laughably increased prices is simply too much for ole Ticketmaster. Honestly, I'd rather just not fucking go. Unreal.

The website that I have to use to sign Wyatt up for tee ball does the thing where it pretends to send you a password reset email if you put an email address in the form, even if you aren't registered.

They also implemented 2FA and demand it be used, it isn't optional.

You used to be able to search Steam by release date and look at the oldest games released by going to the last page. In other words - you search by the CRPG tag, then sort by release date.... go to page 200 or whatever and see what got released first.

Can't do it any more because some genius designer over there heard about Infinite Scroll and made them implement it. Great work. Eliminate function for no benefit. Designers chasing what some dipshit dev created ruins applications.

My laptop will not switch to a resolution lower than 2560 x 1440. To make anything remotely readable I had to change the zoom lever in Windows to 150%, which breaks multiple applications. It literally changes the pointer in Photoshop to digital garbage and the point where it things the cursor is doesn't line up. I was able to hook up a second monitor which goes down to 1080p, but the zoom level applies to both monitors so everything on the external one is too big and everything on the laptop is too small.

I used to do the print/sign/scan thing 10 years ago. It's annoying. I went to a print store to digitize my signature. They sent me a PNG that I can simply copy and paste.

Yeah, gonna throw that down as a Christmas request I guess.

I bought that $150. Brother laser printer a few years ago and haven't had any issues at all. Well worth the price

I gotta be honest... I like the subscription thing.

I pay HP $1.79 per month. Under $43 per year. I get to print 15 pages per month (which is plenty, other than when I do my taxes). Whatever I dont use every month, I can carryover to the following month, up to 45 pages total.

When any of my cartridges get low, a new one magically shows up in the mail. I replace it, put the old one in a prepaid envelope, and drop it in the mail.

Now, I dont know if I'm ahead of the game or not. But I DO know that I've never gone to print something, realized that I had a empty(ish) cartridge, and had to make a late night run to Best Buy to overpay for an ink cartridge.

ICJ, do you not have any FedEx/Kinkos locations nearby? Log in, upload, pick it up in minutes.

It is honestly sickening to see capitalism take over in this unregulated way.

We don't want printers because we aren't printing much, but also the printer companies have more or less decided to be scum of the earth and try pushing subscription shit at us. There's the "it won't print because it's out of yellow" thing. There is the "inkjet drying up" thing. There is the "it won't connect via WiFi or a Network Cable or parallel port" thing. We've all seen Office Space. Nothing has changed in 25 years. So we don't want them around. I think there is ONE model of a printer by Brother that is just a regular black and white laser printer, but it's $150. I'd get one, except the economy is in a shambles right now.

In slightly different news, let me talk about what a goddamn nightmare it was to sign up to Zelle, to pay one of our contractors. I am at 5 2FA SMS codes, two phone calls and two failed payment attempts. And counting!!

I just went through this myself. Someone emailed me a PDF contract that I needed to sign. I discovered my old version of Acrobat no longer worked so like you I hit Google and tried every site that said it would allow me to edit a PDF for free. They actually do let you edit them for free but then they won't let you save it, export it, or print it for free, because they are complete cocksuckers.

I DO have a printer but in 2025 I thought I could figure out a way to electronically sign a document. I could not. I ended up printing it out, signing it with an ink pen, rescanning it, and emailing that back to them. I might as well clubbed a dinosaur over the head after that.

This sounds like a lack of smoke testing!

I just learned that

I don't have a printer. I need to sign a document swearing that my brother and wife are really married.

FOUR sites I tried to get it to mail me a fucking pdf.

Staples: said I'd get a single document in the mail by July 18th. The closest one to me to pick it up is 35 minutes away.

click2mail: trying to set it up I got an asynchronous JavaScript error.

LetterStream: Four CAPTCHAs to sign up. It then fucking wanted the address of where I was going to send it ON the document itself. And then its UI wanted me to draw a box around it. Instead of, you fucking know, typing it into a text box on where I wanted to send it. What alien came up with this? I did "draw a box" and it told me the box I drew was in the wrong spot. I don't know man, this is your garbage fucking UI.

mailform.io worked but I almost quit when it couldn't handle me putting in a simple address, but wanted some kind of csv file with all the addresses I wanted to use. It assumed a mailing list to start.

We'll see if and when I get it from mailform. I'm not holding my breath.

I apparently need to buy a printer.


EDIT! Didn't see this - mailform said I'd get it on "Estimated Delivery: July 14, 2025." Jesus fucking Christ.

Someone set up a company that lets you print documents and send them to people. You'll be a trillionaire in four weeks.
