There are a couple 'Other - Please Specify' fields I definitely filled out with 'Do not do AI'.

I haven't seen that before, sounds like a bug report may be in order; maybe first look under the 'Encryption' section.

Under 'Encryption', check to make sure it shows your password is valid, and see if the number of decrypted items matches your other devices? Also, at one time I managed to have several encryption keys, see if it only lists the one or multiple.

This one is interesting, as it's sort of not-purchasable. It was delisted a while ago. It also has a fun(?) story:

All songs were written and recorded by Eco Virtual on a laptop and mastered direct to cassette tape in 2010. The original files were lost shortly after leaving only one master tape, which was damaged. This audio recording is a digital conversion of what was left on that tape. All songs were composed for the documentary film 'Wildlife Canada' produced and directed by Eco Virtual.

I enjoyed watching the documentary, it's ~9 minutes. Maybe I even learned something? You can access the album download through archive.org: https://archive.org/details/ECOVIRTUAL-WILDLIFECANADA

Anyway, 'Salt Marsh' is my favorite track from this. Happy Friday, vaporwavers!

I'll have a small ambient heater in there, controlled by my home automation system! They are LED lights, so not much heat there. Our house sits around 50-60F usually, so I'm spending a bit of time making sure the insulation is good.

The Long Dark Wet is coming, and I'm setting up in indoor grow zone for the winter. I can't wait to experiment! I'll be attempting to keep a couple peppers alive, as well as a dill, some citrus, a lemongrass,and a few other things. Some of these would be fine being dormant in our basement, but that's no fun!

I get the joke, but with no prior context it's kind of a jerk move to assume the player already opened it if they asked for a perception OR an investigation. A Mimic would normally just ambush you OR attack when the player opens them. If it was opened it's probably already attacking, and if it was closed then performing a perception shouldn't cause initiative until rolled (if the mimic noticed you noticing it, for instance).

I'll....I'll crawl back into my dingy nerd tavern now...

Ah, this looks like it's a snap to use.

Supply chains are literally chains of suppliers, e.g. vendors. Your 'simplest electronic product' could absolutely be constrained by whom you choose to work with.

If your vendor locks you into buying from a certain source, and their vendor requires the same, and so on up the chain, how would you describe that dynamic to differentiate from a single vendor being the point of restriction?

To your point that the phrase didn't exist, here are three supply-chain oriented papers that directly reference the phrase: This paper is exploring the social dynamics of buyers and sellers:

Lock-in situations in supply chains: A social exchange theoretic study of sourcing arrangements

Specifically, we believe that the examination of lock-in situations between a manufacturer and its supplier, i.e., instances where for all intent and purposes, one party is heavily dependent upon the other party, with few alternatives, under social exchange theory, can provide new insights into controlled self-interest behaviors (e.g., strategies) in on-going supply chain relationships.

This paper is about supply chains in plastic management, but the phrase is here:

Business models and sustainable plastic management: A systematic review of the literature

Barriers frequently mentioned were high costs, complexity of new systems, supply chain lock-in and low customer buy-in.

And here's a paper about optimizing your supply chain where it is referenced as something to avoid:

Orchestrating cradle-to-cradle innovation across the value chain

This one even has a handy definition:

Supply chain lock-in:

Contracts and strong dependencies with suppliers not supporting circularity (e.g., either due to non-willingness or lock-in in production facilities optimized for linear concepts). 

I suppose if you would like to be super extra pendantic Wikipedia does have you covered with "Collective Monopolistic Vendor Lock-in".

In case you needed to look it up like I did: Impact of gravity on fluid dynamics, gravity waves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_wave Impact of gravitational fields in astrophysics, gravitational waves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave

Can you share what the final desired goal is? It sounds like your goal is actually to provide your services to Bob securely over the internet, is that a fair description? You mentioned eventually grabbing a domain, how do you feel about publicly exposed services with authentication? For instance, I use authentik in front of Jellyfin and paperless myself for a little extra authentication juice.
