TIL my old password system was a total joke

A friend who works in IT looked at my password list last year and said, 'Dude, you're one data breach away from losing everything.' I was using the same base word with different numbers for every site. I switched to a password manager and started making totally random 12-character strings for each account. It felt like a hassle at first, but now I can't imagine going back. Anyone else have a moment that finally pushed them to get serious about passwords?

Found my grandad's diesel manual from the 70s

I was going through some boxes and found my grandad's diesel repair manual from the 70s. It's all paper with sketches, but now we use apps and scans. Does having digital info actually help us understand engines more?

I know most people rant about bad service at health clubs... but after my wrist injury, they handled everything perfectly.

Should I stop using self-checkout after it messed up my grocery run?

I was at the store yesterday and decided to use self-checkout. Scanned my items like milk and bread. When I put my bag down, the machine yelled about an unexpected item. I looked, but there was nothing there. Had to wave over a worker to fix it. This whole thing added five minutes to my trip. Now I'm debating if self-checkout is worth the hassle. Should I just use a regular cashier from now on? What's your experience with these machines?
