There are more of these than you think and its usually financial institutions. I started running into it years ago when I started using a password manager which allowed to generate strings > 20 chars. Most sites worked, but a few key financial sites not so much. I went through the same frustration cycle as, you finally looking at the html. What is even worse is when someone uses DIFFERENT limits for their app vs web.
The ground-truth is the rudeness is load bearing at human machine interface.

You said what I was thinking. AI can do the things I always found mind numbing and tedious, but because I did it already early in my career, I know when to intervene because the agent is not doing it correctly. I think that is the OP's point.

Am i the only one that is wary of connecting kimi to my desktop and filesystem. Very different beast than using its API via OpenRouter.
bravo! so much better than a landfill
if you cant hold it your hands, you don't own it. used dvd and bluray on ebay are cheaper anyway. another underutilized resource - the public library - mine has a huge catalog of movies you can borrow for free.
Google require ID verification for DMCA requests. That would put an end to most of the abuse.
Anytime a relative installs a new machine I get the call "What is wrong with outlook?". It's always "new".

Even in Texas' "disconnected" grid, we're seeing the same mess. Oncor is currently staring down a mind-boggling 350 GW in data center requests - to put that in perspective, that's more than triple ERCOT's entire peak demand. They’re now pivoting to a $47 billion infrastructure spree just to keep up, and they’ve already pushed through a $560 million rate hike to help foot the bill. It’s the same story as Maryland: no matter how the local market is structured, residential ratepayers are the ones getting squeezed to subsidize the massive high-voltage buildouts these AI projects require. One benefit: the increased human interaction pulls me away from the terminal. Door-to-door power salesmen now have a regular relationship with my Nest doorbell, warning me of the impending "AI-pocalypse" because ratepayers in Dallas are going to be the ones subsidizing the West Texas buildout.

Thank you for not "mooping" around.
I fondly remember when i could buy a well-rated consumer-level SSD for a lot less per TB...
