  • lol fuck that noise, literally.
    Unsolder the piezo.

    Pro tip: Since it obviously has wifi or something, it has an FCC id printed somewhere (probably next to the model/serial number).
    Search the fccid.io website for that number and there’ll be photos of its insides which can help you figure out how to open it, know where the piezo is likely to be, and neuter that loud fucker.
    I’ve done a kettle that would beep 80ish dBA everytime it started, it was done, or when you put it back in the base.

    Alnyway, an air fryer is big enough that it’s probably not as complicated to disassemble as smaller tighter devices.
    Specifically about this, the fccid might be only the wireless module inside and not the whole thing, so maybe not as helpful.

    Obviously, unplug it from mains before opening. Insert all applicable disclaimers about not burning down your house or maiming yourself.













  • We always had a truck on the farm growing up, back then it was just a practical day-to-day tool.
    It was small, dirty, scratched, dented, peeling, among other things.
    It also smelled like cigarettes and only tuned to AM radio baseball, but whatever.

    Sure, it was still higher and bigger than a car but also so much lower than these modern absurdities. And SO much more practical.
    When you have to load the bed a million times, those new lifted pavement princess truck are just dumb af.
    It towed more than most of these things too, although I’m pretty sure nobody even looked at how much it was supposed to haul on paper.
    There are now city version of these emotional support trucks with about the engine size and towing capacity of my now retired hatchback.
    You can lose sight of a grown up adult in the huge blind spots that it has.
    100% impractical.
    It’s dumb as fuck.
