Ordered a window unit. I can't live with 35C ALL DAY. Even during the night it's 33C.
Apparently, the window is not wide enough. But I have an idea. Who said a window unit must be installed in a window? I have a spare door that I am occasionally using. For the rest of the day and night, it's useless. Yes, I'm talking about the loo.
With such high temperatures, I'm forced to come up with something that can at least cool me down.
Found a Taiwan ebook store, managed to make a purchase. It mentioned PDF when purchase but it requires you to either use their web or their mobile app to read.
Then guess what? The JS code for web is raw js. I mean, when almost everyone is using something like typescript and framework, I would never expect something so simple like this would work.
Hijack the code for displaying the image and grab the content. So everytime I read a page, it gets downloaded to my computer.
I would say it's "fair use". In the worse case I can inject my own SSL cert into the system and grab the content anyway. Unless the image data is encrypted and need some js code to decrypt on the client side.
And with a quick poking around during the lunch break, now I can import amazon purchases without a physical Kindle.
And this book can be only purchased by the Japanese account. Luckily a Japanese account is much easier to maintain compared to a Taiwan account. There is traditional Chinese translation on Google Play, but you can only buy it if your account is in Taiwan, which is really hard to register.
I love how the open source community works together to crack this DRM bullshit. I bought the book, you should give me the PDF. Not some DRM-protected ACSM shit.
**I have a job now!**
I'm a Chinese shitizen, but I generally don't post in Chinese to avoid being suffering from other Chinese.
I'm physically a male, but I don't care how people think about my gender. I can be male, or female, or cat. But if you ask, I'd prefer to be referred to as male. Also, I support LGBT+ people, and I'm a copyleft. I don't think I'm too aggressive in arguing things, but sometimes I do. You should handle it with care.
I post about programming (most time is Java and Kotlin, unless I have a new love), and some random things I find interesting. I also post about my mental health, which is in a stable state of instability, thanks to my parents and Chinese society.
Anyway, if you want to follow me, I'm glad to see you. And, have a nice day.
