To be fair, if you tried three different browsers on iPhone, it doesn’t really make a difference. To the website, they’re all Safari
They just need the Zoo.
Kinda fitting considering recent chrome news
Have you tried not being a robot
What? You going to tell me not to drink booze and play blackjack with robot hookers anymore? This is bullshit!
Bite my shiny metal ass.
Get a bot to do it for you, I heard that they are now better than humans at solving them.
Depressed? Smile more.
Poor? Just have money.
Have OP’s problem? Just do what this guy advised you to
This is a shitshow, probably illegal and the “10” years smoke detectors never last more than 6, like i know a German Youtuber did some magic math and testing, the 10 years is even under laboratory conditions basically impossible, in the real world the thing may go off once or twice, and are tested if they work, already taking out at least 1 year of time…
I fucking want my 9V powered smoke detectors back.
But how would they sell more smoke detectors that way?
Doesn’t the isotope in the detection chamber degrade and needs to be replaced in 10 years anyway?

The half life of americium is 432.2 years, so no
Those detectors are inferior to optic detectors and should not be used any more.
Even the 9V ones didn’t last forever.
I found that out one very exciting morning, when it decided to sing me the song of its people. If you’ve never stumbled down the stairs at 4am looking for a fire with your bollocks flapping about, I heartily recommend it.
No of course not, but you didn’t need a completely new smoke alarm when the battery is empty.
The battery was fine. It was the alarm that had degraded to the point that it always “detected” smoke.
Turns out smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years or so.
Inspect element, select the wrapper div, change css element height to 1500px or something
I’m on an iPhone. I finally emailed the link to myself, opened Remote Desktop and did it on my laptop. So dumb.
All iPhone browsers are just different versions of Safari at the moment due to a limitation by Apple. I’ve heard that may change.
I guess this site just really doesn’t like Safari.
Or… view as desktop button? (I’m on Android so idk if iOS has that option, they should though)
I think it shows up as “request desktop site” on ios, but IME it doesn’t always make a difference.
Yep I’ve often had to do something like that to get around broken website interfaces
add some css to the wrapping box like
(put the selector here) { height: 1000px; }Imagine this very thing being illegal after web drm is implemented.
I had a whole house of this brand of smoke detectors (5) and bought them back in 2019 and my wood burner had wind blow back down the chimney. It filled my house with smoke and the only one that went off was the smoke detector that i had taken down an set on my table that was the previous i was replacing . this should be illegal to sell something that is this important to someones safety. regardless to say im never buying first alert again
I’m not an expert and it’s definitely possible they’re shit, but I remember doing research for buying new smoke detectors and finding out about all the different types of them. Like some don’t even care about smoke, they only care about heat. And others use different methods of detecting smoke that can be better for different types of fires (kitchen grease fire vs electrical fire).
Anyway I had no idea there was more than one type, I feel like that should also be made more obvious when buying new ones.
i did not know that thank!
Two different types of sensors. Photoelectric use light and are good for detecting thick smoke(produced by smoldering, incomplete combustion) like you’re describing, which is likely what your old one was. Ionizing sensors use radiation and detect small particles more common in active fires(complete combustion).
I just used the phone number on the back of the device to call them. I found them rather pleasant to deal with and they sent me a free replacement within a couple of days. Good luck, friend.
Phone? But I’m not a caveman! It started chirping at bedtime and I was determined to email them before I turned in for the night…
If you really want to pursue being ripped off I would recommend contacting your local district attorney. They seriously do great work for us common folk.
Oh but don’t you see? This is plausible deniability. Good luck with the warranty.
They’ll probably send me a new one. I opened it and a new battery is more than the detector
Shit I have 2 of those in my house rn :(
Might as well call them and tell them they stopped working already because they definitely won’t last more than 3 years
you always get fucked at the drive thru
I might be ignorant, but why would bots go after their warranty contact?
