minus-square@Stillwater@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink34•edit-21 month agoObviously screw FedEx, but why the hell is the # symbol part of the door code? It’s just asking for this to happen.
minus-square@ziggurat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink36•1 month agoYou press the # to start writing the code on Yale doorman, or to lock the door
minus-square@Stillwater@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink8•1 month agoOhh, I see. That makes it more clear than saying it’s part of the code
minus-square@Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink15•1 month agoI guess its like one of those digilocks where people always wrote the codes as “C1234” even though C is just a reset button that puts all the pins back into place so a code can be entered. It’s easier to tell people its C1234 than saying it’s 1234, but press C first.
minus-square@TheDoozer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 month agoOr better yet: “It’s 1234. If that doesn’t work, press C then 1234.”

minus-square@samus12345@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish7•1 month agoYeah, usually it’s described like “press pound, then…” to avoid confusion.
