  • I’m dubious of the stats. Sure if you include China, India, and Africa, your 1in 100M.

    But let’s look at it the other way.

    East Coast population: 128M Android: 30% US = 38M

    Primary language English: 77% (realistically for people in US browsing it’s closer to 90%)

    = 29 M

    Screen Resolution was wrong.

    But realistically it’s identifying your phone model which tend to have unique resolutions. Phones outnumber desktops 8 to 1. So it identified my Pixel which is 4%.

    It claims “Do not track on” is rare at 1 in 186,000 but that’s the default for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

    So that means I’m in a pool of 1.1M other users.

    Now there are other fingerprints that can narrow it down more, but imo standing in a crowd of over 1M identical people is sort of anonymous.

    Btw, I got the same 1in 132M number that you got.





  • Often a sign of a growing clog. The door doesn’t unlock until the water sensor says there is no water. If the last bit of water is draining slowly, it can delay unlock.

    Three places to check a front loader:

    1. The rubber gasket for the door has small holes in the folds that get clogged.

    2. The lint/large item trap is getting full. Most washers have a little door you can open and pull that out for cleaning.

    3. Worst is there’s a ball in the drain hose at the bottom of the tub where the tub connects to the drain pump. It works as a check valve. It can get clogged. You need to get access to the motor area of the washer. Often massaging that ball in the hose is enough to let it drain. I’m fully aware of what this sounds like.
