How about carving replacement buttons and bezel out of some hardwood? Finished with an epoxy based varnish it should resist the bleach fumes.

I was just about to suggest GrayJay but then I remembered it’s an Android app.

Credit card companies know where you are spending your money, but not what you are buying.

They have been selling your data but it’s less valuable in the world of store apps and online stores where every search and purchase is linked to your email. Still worth opting out of any “data sharing” options your Credit Card company has though.

It’s not “a set of people” anymore it’s you, and there is always more data.

Buy some doughnuts for the office… your health insurance just went up.

You buy a new car which has fancy connected features, but now it sells your driving safety score to your car insurance company.

Buy a vegan ready meal, both vegan food companies and the meat industry compete for your business, you might get a few discounts, but your free will is being influenced.

The difference is when credit cards were introduced their business model was charging customers interest and businesses fees.

Now the business model is making customer profiles to sell to advertisers, insurance companies and anyone else who is willing to buy the data. I don’t want every business I use to be collecting all this information.

Thank you, as a TPM1.0 pc owner I did how borked a forced Win11 install would be.

Windows defender?

Seriously you don’t need anything else, it’s really lightweight and Microsoft uses it to enhance their paid for corporate offerings. Anything more is just expensive bloatware for 99.9% of users.

Edit: Kaspersky has been banned in several countries because it may be a Russian Trojan program.

Wow nice! I have done the same but I always forget and stick a fork through them at least once a year!

Every time I consider the plastic/stainless pipe option I think about drilling holes all down it and putting a hose fitting on the ends for integrated irrigation… then the project gets to complicated and I stick a 2x4 across instead.

One day though.

Those look to be very long boards, every time I do this in ~1-2 years they tend to flex outwards under the weight of the wet compost and start to collapse.

Just wondering if you have anything in place to prevent flexing?

I’ve been considering plastic pipe or stainless rod bolted to each side through the soil.
