  • O! Thank you for this picture.

    I was in somebody’s Y (I think? I don’t know teslas) a few weeks ago in the front seat and I pulled the mechanical door release across multiple different stops around town before he told me I was supposed to push the electronic “open door” button.

    That spurred me to think “wait, if I pulled the mech release by default and it’s pretty obvious/intuitive, what’s all the hubbub about getting trapped in a car because the manual door releases are so difficult?”

    I didn’t realize it was about the rear door handles rather than the front until right now. Granted, the front manual door handle is fairly different than “most” cars but I still found it pretty obvious… more obvious than the need to push a stupid little button to open a door.





  • I got the gl-mt6000/flint2 about 6 months ago. I’m definitely not a network expert but I unboxed it, powered it up, and immediately flashed OpenWRT. No problems.

    The only slightly technical things I’ve done with it are to install a router level ad/tracking blocker when my RPi2 pihole stopped being reliable and install the tailscale client on it with exit node enabled. Everything works fine.

    I use tailscale to get to my LAN (even though the desktop is also running tailscale) for many reasons (self hosting) but the main reason is my home server is disk level LUKS encrypted. The router restarts autonomously after a power outage so I use it to get to the server via tailscale+Dropbear to remote unlock the server disk after a power outage.

    I’ve had zero complaints and would recommend.
