We have driver's licence as an app in norway. I was on my way into a pub where I was asked by a bouncer to show ID. I forgot my physical wallet with physical ID, so the dance started:

  • Unlock phone.
  • Find app.
  • App requires national login. Enter personal number (Norwegian SSN)
  • National login has 2FA via another app. Open that to confirm.
  • National login requires password. My password is in a password manager, so I open that.
  • Password manager requires password.
  • and 2FA.
  • Acquire password and scramble back to the app that required password for national log on.
  • Complete login so I can show that I am 33 years old, which is over the required age of 18.

In reality, the bouncer just gave up on me at around step 5 and let me in.

There are just things that should be physical things.

IDs and fucking buttons in cars please. Holy fuck please can we not do the IPAD thing in cars. Please God.

And on cooking stuff!

Long click to select stove element

Phew now it's on full power...

I have yet to encounter an electric stove that doesn't loop to full power when you press "-" when it's at its lowest setting

[-] hownowbrowncow@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mine doesn't. But it will go straight to full power with 'power on' then '+' (rather than 'power on' then '-'). A single 'power on' press doesn't actually turn the burner on, which I always thought was weird. But the alternative of having to go through power levels sounds worse, so I guess I get it

It is an physic thing, OP just forgot it at home.

Yesterday, I was on the train and the lady checking the tickets at first walked past me without checking mine. After more people had gotten on, she made her route back down the train, when she asked me, if she had checked mine – hmm, she must've checked mine – so, she was already about to walk on and out of reflex, I said that she had actually skipped me before.

Felt a bit silly to then get out my ticket and show it to her, since I clearly wouldn't have told her to ckeck me, if I didn't have a valid ticket. Kind of same energy as with your bouncer, like you wouldn't have all this stuff on your phone and spend the time trying to get into it, if it won't lead to anything.

Either he was being a dick (fairly likely all bounces are) or you have a really good moisturizing regimen because there's no way that a 33-year-old would look like they're under 18.

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I definitely do not look like an 18-year old. But I was entering with a group consisting of a variety of looks, so it was just a thing to check everyone.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds like a 60 second thing at most. None of it is worse than having to drive back home for your wallet.

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

In Norway, it has been a long tradition to do as many drinks as possible at home before heading to the bars, due to steep prices in bars. So I was pretty "beautiful" at that point, which does not help with running passwords and 2FAs

[-] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

So driving back home would have been even more difficult as well (or illegal).

I'm stealing "pretty beautiful" lmao
