To be fair, if you tried three different browsers on iPhone, it doesn’t really make a difference. To the website, they’re all Safari
They just need the Zoo.
Kinda fitting considering recent chrome news
Inspect element, select the wrapper div, change css element height to 1500px or something

Yep I’ve often had to do something like that to get around broken website interfaces
Looks more like an overflow issue so there is probably a bit more to it
Have you tried not being a robot
Bite my shiny metal ass.
What? You going to tell me not to drink booze and play blackjack with robot hookers anymore? This is bullshit!
This is a shitshow, probably illegal and the “10” years smoke detectors never last more than 6, like i know a German Youtuber did some magic math and testing, the 10 years is even under laboratory conditions basically impossible, in the real world the thing may go off once or twice, and are tested if they work, already taking out at least 1 year of time…
I fucking want my 9V powered smoke detectors back.
But how would they sell more smoke detectors that way?
They can sell more smoke detectors in HELLLLL
Doesn’t the isotope in the detection chamber degrade and needs to be replaced in 10 years anyway?

most smoke detectors nowadays are optical.
Both kinds exist. Both have different benefits and drawbacks.
You shouldn’t only be using one type in your house.
Optical is great for detecting large smoke particles quickly. If the smoke is small particles, though, it’ll need to be rather dense before it’ll go off. Ionizing detectors have the opposite issue; they react quickly to small particles but can’t detect large particles that well.
No the sensitivity of radiation based smoke alarms tends to cause false positives which in turn causes people to ignore them making them less effective. Optical smoke detectors are overall the newer and better technology.
That being said radiation based smoke detection is still a cool concept. There might be a few areas where they perform better still, though probably not.
For best protection, it is recommended both (ionization and photoelectric) technologies be used in homes. In addition to individual ionization and photoelectric alarms, combination alarms that include both technologies in a single device are available.
The half life of americium 241 is 432.2 years, so no
Those detectors are inferior to optic detectors and should not be used any more.
The smoke detectors in my house are hooked up to the main power, but they still take a battery and beep when the battery is dead. I thought the battery was backup, but they die after about 2 years, so it can’t be backup, it must be used for something.
Even the 9V ones didn’t last forever.
I found that out one very exciting morning, when it decided to sing me the song of its people. If you’ve never stumbled down the stairs at 4am looking for a fire with your bollocks flapping about, I heartily recommend it.
No of course not, but you didn’t need a completely new smoke alarm when the battery is empty.
The battery was fine. It was the alarm that had degraded to the point that it always “detected” smoke.
Turns out smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years or so.
Get a bot to do it for you, I heard that they are now better than humans at solving them.
Depressed? Smile more.
Poor? Just have money.
Have OP’s problem? Just do what this guy advised you to
Yah, I never leave home without my bot.
Inspect the element the capture is inside and change its size, or set the browser to desktop mode.
add some css to the wrapping box like
(put the selector here) { height: 1000px; }Imagine this very thing being illegal after web drm is implemented.
If it doesn’t work on mobile, set the browser to view on desktop mode.
I tried. Finally just went to my actual desktop…
Work at a fire dept. These fail so often we do not recommend 10 year battery detectors anymore. Just go get a new one with without that “perk”, don’t warranty replace it.
Lots of people got these because they had them in 2 packs at Costco dirt cheap. If I can help it I will never buy this brand again…
Things I like to cheap out on:
Chocolate
Mobile phone
Smoke detector
Fire extinguisher
18650 battery (and especially charger!)
Extension cord
Defibrillator
PC power supply
It’s smart and intelligent cuz it saves me money!
I only buy used tires, they are dirt cheap! And look at all the car oil that looks brand new that someone thrown out. /s
Being smart is not buying everything for the cheapest price, but knowing what you can cheap on.
Some people have sadly no choice. But that’s a whole different problem.
Overpaying for an Apple phone, then cheaping out on smoke detectors. Humanity is truly doomed.
Joke’s on you, I stole the iPhone and overpaid for the smoke detectors
I had a whole house of this brand of smoke detectors (5) and bought them back in 2019 and my wood burner had wind blow back down the chimney. It filled my house with smoke and the only one that went off was the smoke detector that i had taken down an set on my table that was the previous i was replacing . this should be illegal to sell something that is this important to someones safety. regardless to say im never buying first alert again
I’m not an expert and it’s definitely possible they’re shit, but I remember doing research for buying new smoke detectors and finding out about all the different types of them. Like some don’t even care about smoke, they only care about heat. And others use different methods of detecting smoke that can be better for different types of fires (kitchen grease fire vs electrical fire).
Anyway I had no idea there was more than one type, I feel like that should also be made more obvious when buying new ones.
i did not know that thank!
Two different types of sensors. Photoelectric use light and are good for detecting thick smoke(produced by smoldering, incomplete combustion) like you’re describing, which is likely what your old one was. Ionizing sensors use radiation and detect small particles more common in active fires(complete combustion).
damn you sound smart!! Very useful information thanks!
I just used the phone number on the back of the device to call them. I found them rather pleasant to deal with and they sent me a free replacement within a couple of days. Good luck, friend.
Phone? But I’m not a caveman! It started chirping at bedtime and I was determined to email them before I turned in for the night…
If you really want to pursue being ripped off I would recommend contacting your local district attorney. They seriously do great work for us common folk.
They never work for ten years. Never. Don’t rely on cheap things when your life might depend on it.
I would find 5-7 acceptable and just avoid the brand for the replacement
Why would I want a smoke detector with a lithium ion battery that can’t be replaced. 🤔
Most fire codes require hardwire or non replaceable battery nowadays. Supposed to reduce the amount of homes with dead battery smoke alarms I think. Also ensures the sensor still works.
After 10 years it’s assumed that the sensor is degraded, especially the radioactive type.
They were cheap at Costco. Lots of people bought them and yup they are garbage.
Shit I have 2 of those in my house rn :(
Might as well call them and tell them they stopped working already because they definitely won’t last more than 3 years
Oh but don’t you see? This is plausible deniability. Good luck with the warranty.
They’ll probably send me a new one. I opened it and a new battery is more than the detector
