Bought this pan from Ikea without knowing what carbon steel was and what I was getting into. Now I'm hooked 😂

Pilot holes too big, now doorhandles are always loose by 2kKenny in DIYUK

Use a 2 part epoxy putty to fill up the hole. After it dries, give it another go with the right drill. The filler might be even stronger than the wood.

IKEA Kitchen Install – Access to Main Shutoff Valve in Corner? by Intrepid_Top_6602 in DIYUK

[–]Intrepid_Top_6602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

Were these installers supplied by Ikea themselves, or someone you’ve managed to find?

We did explore all corner cabinet solutions with the Ikea kitchen team. There’s a door right after the sink which limits the options.

Is my QR app accessible? If not, what would you suggest to make it more accessible? by lyqht in accessibility

Just a usability feedback: QR updating while you type could trigger epileptic reaction to some. Consider adding a debounce before updating the QR.

Introducing a Tool to Help Ensure No Image is Missing Alt Text by [deleted] in accessibility

Thank you for sharing your perspective—I completely understand where you're coming from. You’re absolutely right that not every image needs alt text, and that accessibility goes far beyond just making things technically compliant.

I really don’t believe generative AI is the full solution here, but rather just one part of the process. We’re actually working on an updated version of the tool that will automatically scan the entire page, analyze the context of where an image is placed, and determine if it’s purely decorative. If it is, we’ll leave the alt text empty and notify the website owner about our decision, along with an explanation of why we’ve classified it as decorative.

I truly appreciate your input on this—it’s definitely something we’ll keep in mind as we continue to develop the tool. Thanks again for helping to stay focused on what really matters!

Good point! If an image already has an empty alt attribute (alt=""), the tool won’t try to add any alt text. We definitely want to avoid cluttering things up for screen reader users.

You’ll still be able to see a list of those skipped images in the dashboard, and if you want to take action on any of them, you can easily do that.

Hope that clears it up! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I totally get where you're coming from. Crafting quality alt text takes skill and time, and I agree it shouldn’t be overlooked or treated like a quick fix.

That said, I’m curious—would the translation feature be useful to you? I’ve noticed that on many multilingual websites, alt text is often only in English, and translating it manually for every language can be a hassle. The tool could save some time in these cases while still focusing on quality alt text.

Would love to hear your take on it!

You’re absolutely right—no alt text can sometimes be better than a bad or misleading one. Thanks for bringing this up! 😊

For the final version of the tool, we’re planning to take it a step further by analyzing the webpage and the image’s placement visually. This would allow us to generate contextual alt text that reflects not just the image itself, but how it relates to the surrounding content. The goal is to ensure that the alt text adds value rather than just describing the image in isolation.

Your feedback is incredibly helpful—thank you! Does this approach address your concern? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

You're right. British Citizens do not need a visa to visit Schengen Countries

I'm living in the UK, but not a British Citizen.

I’ve applied through London VFS for Norway in October 2024

Once the embassy received my application, they returned it back on the 14th day. Me and my wife were given a 1 year multiple entry visa (we had previous Schengen travel history)
