@davidtheeviloverlord@mastodon.social We have some new kitchen equipment. As is usual with such things any service request has to be accompanied with model number, serial number, and so on. Which are hidden away on inaccessible labels that you can't read without seriously dismantling the thing. Ah! But, the manual says, you can ask the appliance for its numbers using the app, so no need to be able to read the labels! Which will be ... how much use, exactly, if the appliance fails and won't talk to the app any more? So having spotted this in advance I've printed all the numbers off from the app whilst the kit is still working. But really.
