Why do sites disable pasting in password fields?
It’s 2023, why are websites actively preventing pasting into fields like passwords and credit card number boxes?

Has Windows startup repair or a troubleshooter ever fixed your issue even once?
Yeah, basically that. I’m back at work in Windows land on a Monday morning, and pondering what sadist at Microsoft included these features.

For the past few weeks I’ve been working on creating my own public radio station (it’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid). Well now it’s up and running but I don’t know what to do with it.
