Your place, your car and your pets · 265 ideasBuild my utility complaint from my own breaker-panel data

No Windows checker for the Plex exploit, so GPT built me one

My agent hit a human check on Uber and could not finish the ride
Peter Yang used Duet's Uber ride skill and gave it the Palace of Fine Arts as his destination. Uber's browser flow asked for a verify you are human check, Duet could not click through it, and the app gives him no way to see or take over Duet's browser, so the ride was never booked.
