Don't forget the mode where it's anchored only in one corner and you freak out because you feel it will fall out any moment despite you know it won't

[–] Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wait what? IS THIS A MODE AND NOT ME MESSING UP??

[–] maxmalrichtig@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah! It's the "you messed up mode".

I feel like it's a "can survive, but please fix quickly" kinda scenario.
I have no doubt the mechanism can support it. But used regularly will likely break something (where the entire fucking window falls into your room)

That's what they want you to believe

It's one of the things everyone experiences but no one talks about

I experienced so many heart attacks for that damn thing and now i discover it was just one of the modes 😭

[–] Shellbeach@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm still not convinced it's an actual mode and not user error, that everyone hides under the rug by frantically pushing the window close somehow

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Let's just say it is an unintended mode

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait, it doesn't fall like that?

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, nothing will ever happen. Don't worry

The "ever" is maybe stretching it.
I think it can survive the occasional mis-opening. But I wouldn't do it regularly, not leave it like that for a day.
Like "yeh, you've fucked up but I'm fine for now. Please fix me and never do it again" kinda scenario

Putting it back in place is kinda difficult, iirc. It's a scary "oh, shit. Put it back, put it back" moment. It's a lesson in not playing around wuth the door (ah, yeah, mine was a big balcony door window (small balcony, big door))
