Problem solved: Creating new passwords, and remembering them.
An image says more than 42 characters.
Randomise an AI generated image. Say the AI comes up with a sandwich inside a duck with stars as sprinkle. Mentally connect that image to whatever needs a password. Fire up some imagination “ISeeSt4444rs!.andDucks.”. That is a password that is hard to guess.
The randomised image can take cues from whatever needs the password. Say the user is trying to log in to WordPress. Feed the AI with “WordPress {random1} {random2} {random3}”. Then it is even easier to remember the image to remember the password.
Problem: you have a threaded rod keeping things together. It is fastened in one end, hangs free, and fastened in another. If one end had been right threaded and one left threaded a [turnbuckle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnbuckle) would be the obvious choice. But not it is a regular right threaded rod.
Solution 1: Make one side swivel and the other grip the threads.
Solutions 2: Split the turnbuckle in two, with a swivel in between, and turn them different directions.
Problem: There is written telephone number. It can be written on a wall, or a web page on your screen.
Solution: An app that can OCR a photograph and find telephone numbers and then open the phone to allow the user to call. I have done similar through Google lens – but that included lots of tapping and swiping. This solution is 1 app that is stream line for this.
Problem: sharing a screen and no walls are available.
Solution: Project the image on a table.
Put the projector on a tri pod. Put the projector on your open laptop and let the laptop lid/monitor be a tripod. Add magnets and attach it on the ceiling somehow.
To make a long story short: I believed a micro wave oven needed three buttons. When the on/off switch failed on my oven I realised I only needed two.
One button is for the timer. When set to zero the oven is off. Preferably the button is a turnable dial. Fast and easy.
Another button is for the effect. Also preferably a turnable dial.
Why does the microwave at my job have 10 buttons? where I don’t even know what all do.
My newer microwave has 8 buttons. They beep when I press them as if I didn’t know that already.
My suggestion is to bring back the microwave oven with 2 buttons.
See image. See all the buttons. Find out what they do.
To the defence of the oven producer it is both a microwave and a regular oven; which makes it harder to create a simple UI.
But… why have plus to the left and minus to the right?
As I am writing this there no bicycle trousers for urban rain.
It is ordinary, water proof, breathing, rain weather trousers; but totally water proof where the seat is (otherwise water might get pushed through the pants); more sturdy around the knees and front part of the thighs as those parts get more worn. Front thigh should be totally water proof too.
The rest can be the usual breathing and waterproof fabric. But that already exists.
It should be widenable to allow for taking off without taking the shoes off. But that already exists.
It could inherit the idea from jackets, to have zippers in the arm pits, but on the back sides of the thighs.
Problem:
You are browsing through stuff on the internet.
After a while you remember something about something. You want to get back to it. But cannot find it.
I suggest:
A web browser plugin (or whatever it is called) that stores your last day/s i a local database to search through.
Come to think of it – as it catches your logged in pages, would even allow you to search in pages where you are logged in, something that google/bing/insertyourfavouritesearchengine doesn’t do.
Say you are going skiing with your family.
Say it is morning so everyone needs to wash and pee. At the same time.
Say you are leaving for the mountain and everyone needs to take a dump and brush teeth. At the same time.
Everyone is queueing to the same room.
I suggest separating the wash basin and shower from the loo into separate rooms.
