I never have more than like 10 tabs open at a time, so likely wont be helpful to me, but I find this super interesting!

Can someone explain what normal people use so many tabs for? It seems to be super common to have tons and tons open.

Are people using tabs as a soft bookmark of basically anything interesting? Afraid to close the page because they wont find it in their history or bookmarks? Is this more an issue with bookmarks and history not being as useful as they could be?

Not judging or anything, I just find how other people use tools differently than I do an interesting subject.

He notes in the blog post that he didn't actually use his airmiles account more than a couple proof of concepts (the IM stage) - he also says not to actually do this - it was just a creative bit of hacking.

Likely a combination of SEO combined with an LLM to write it all.

At the bottom of the page is a crowbar... maybe you should see if it's useful!

If you use the barrel jack you now have an extra USB port you can use for stuff!

If you forget your barrel jack connector you can borrow a USB charger and it'll work!

Win-win!
