minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•2 months agoOhh, I see. That makes it more clear than saying it’s part of the code
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•2 months agoYeah, usually it’s described like “press pound, then…” to avoid confusion.
minus-squareᴍᴜᴛɪʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴡᴀᴠᴇ linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoYeah but anyone under 30 doesn’t know # as pound, it’s hashtag.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink15•2 months agoI guess its like one of those digilocks where people always wrote the codes as “C1234” even though C is just a reset button that puts all the pins back into place so a code can be entered. It’s easier to tell people its C1234 than saying it’s 1234, but press C first.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoOr better yet: “It’s 1234. If that doesn’t work, press C then 1234.”
