Motherfucker. It's two thousand fucking seventeen. You can get a free ssl certificate for any website.
Then WHY are there still some fucking websites which contain login portals, sensitive information or anything that SHOULD be protected in transit WITHOUT FUCKING SSL?!
I hope that the people who manage those sites and are AWARE that they can get a free cert but don't do that die in agonising pain.
This really fucking pisses me off.
On another note, EVERY site should have SSL, it's free anyways and protects your visitors from a range of threats.-24 -
So some student complained that the busses are to full in the morning (they are filled with students).
Student: "why don't they drive more busses?"
Me: "because that would raise prices of busses since more drivers and fuel is needed. It's simple economics"
Student: "Public transit already is way to expensive, they can easily drive more busses and trains for that"
Me: "public transit is already way to expensive.... Oh look! An iPhone, MacBook, AirPods, Apple Watch, Dr Martins and other overpriced shit you have with you now!"2 -
Fuck public transit. If I see on Google Maps that there's gonna be a bus at that place, at that time, there better be a goddamn fucking bus AT THAT PLACE, AT THAT FUCKING TIME!!! No instead let's scrap some shitty lines!
HOW ABOUT WE START SCRAPPING SERVICES JUST BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE IT, HUH?! Back to postal mail and newspapers you go! You know what, for such fuckers let's just cut their entire internet access. Fucking pieces of shit!!!5 -
!rant && rant
I've been doing random HTML/CSS/JS crap since I was 11 (I'm 20 now). And worked with NodeJS/Swift/Java/Typescript for the past 4 years. For some reason, I've always been interested in public transit and the combination between public transit and Development seemed magical to me. I've tried making Departure time apps and trip planners for a few years now. And for that you need open data, for which we have a national data source and a Google Group for support with that.
I quit my study two years ago after a year doing nothing and I was on the edge of getting into depression because I didn't do anything useful for two years. Didn't see myself do anything useful in the next few years apart from some random dev crap (still public transit related).
About half a year ago I ranted on that Google Group about shit being not efficient (weird standards, weird documentation but mostly lack thereof).
For some reason a business saw that rant and sent me an email about two months ago and told me they 'potentially' had 'some' work for me. So I had some really informal conversations with that business but I still was very insecure about myself (had some shitty experience with tons of unfinished projects) and I was worried that they had higher expectations for me than what I could give them.
A week later I received an e-mail with a proposal for an actual, full-time job as a back-end developer and obviously took the opportunity.
I started a month ago with a month-long probation period and after three weeks told me I had passed the probation period.
I'm a super happy boy right now. I got a job, being super insecure, without any certifications, without finishing school (Everyone in the Netherlands tells you you NEED a diploma to get a job), more than double minimum wage (minimum wage is quite high in the Netherlands), and most important, at a business that does a lot of public transit stuff.
Apparently ranting about stuff, not finishing your school and being depressed gives you a well-paid job. :)5 -
!dev rant, but dev company rant (if that makes sense)
<sarcasm>
I love my company's HR, she is such a wonderful and caring woman.
</sarcasm>
<rant>
'Breng' (a public transit company in the Netherlands) was on strike today, so I couldn't go to work. No problem I thought, I'll just work from home. So I send a screenshot to the HR where you could see that every train was canceled.
A few moments later I get a message back saying that I should wait for the next train (although you could see on the screenshot that said train was also canceled)
Now I finally have a train to go to work... After sitting an hour in the cold... And I already see the smile on her face when I arrive at work...
</rant>
<prayer>
Please trains keep driving so I can go home tonight...
</prayer>13 -
Apparently, HERE Maps supports transport via spaceship 😲
I don’t know if this is a joke or not but it’s in the API documentation:

Seattle's light rail transit signs are just a full screen Chrome web browser. On another crash, I saw a Windows blue screen. Why would you pay for a Windows license just to run a browser that displays transit times?
6 -
Yay.... Missed the last train because for some reason, the city's public transit thinks it's not in the 21st century and in the third-largest town in an industry state and can just say fuck customers, drop it like it's 1990 at 1:30 o'clock...
Well, time for an all-nighter. Prepare for some nice rants tonight...
Hope my boss considers the hours.11 -
> Be me
> Using another country's public transit system for the first time
> QR reader can't read my bus ticket
> Ask the bus driver about it
"Sir, can I check myself in here?"
"Very high-tech system, isn't it?"
"Sir, I'm a programmer..."
"Shitty system then? Maybe you could fix it?"
(thinking: you're not paying me for this you bastard, and if you want me to get a manual for this piece of shit to repair what should've worked in the first place, you're sorely mistaken...)
"Probably I'm the kind of person who would... Anyway the ticket is valid."
I didn't bother checking the ticket afterwards.
All I wanted to do was get on your bus mate 😐11 -
As a dev that can't work from home, sincerely, fuck you weather. I'm gonna punch the next person that says climate change isn't real.

I have been keeping this inside for long time and I need to rant it somewhere and hear your opinion.
So I'm working as a Team Lead Developer at a small company remotely based in Netherlands, I've been working there for about 8 years now and I am the only developer left, so the company basically consists of me and the owner of the company which is also the project manager.
As my role title says I am responsible for many things, I maintain multiple environments:
- Maintain Web Version of the App
- Maintain A Cordova app for Android, iOS and Windows
- Working with pure JavaScript (ES5..) and CSS
- Development and maintenance of Cordova Plugins for the project in Java/Swift
- Trying to keep things stable while trying very hard to transit ancient code to new standards
- Testing, Testing, Testing
- Keeping App Stable without a single Testing Unit (sadly yes..)
- Just pure JavaScript no framework apart from JQuery and Bootstrap for which I strongly insist to be removed and its being slowly done.
On the backend side I maintain:
- A Symfony project
- MySQL
- RabbitMQ
- AWS
- FCM
- Stripe/In-App Purchases
- Other things I can't disclose
I can't disclose the nature of the app but the app is quite rich in features and complex its limited to certain regions only but so far we have around 100K monthly users on all platforms, it involves too much work especially because I am the only developer there so when I am implementing some feature on one side I also have to think about the other side so I need to constantly switch between different languages and environments when working, not to mention I have to maintain a very old code and the Project Owner doesn't want to transit to some more modern technologies as that would be expensive.
The last raise I had was 3 years ago, and so far he hasn't invested in anything to improve my development process, as an example we have an iOS version of the app in Cordova which of course involves building , testing, working on both frontend and native side and etc., and I am working in a somewhat slow virtual machine of Monterey with just 16 GB of RAM which consumed days of my free time just to get it working and when I'm running it I need to close other apps, keep in mind I am working there for about 8 years.
The last time I needed to reconfigure my work computer and setup the virtual machine it costed me 4 days of small unpaid holiday I had taken for Christmas, just because he doesn't have the enough money to provide me with a decent MacBook laptop. I do get that its not a large company, but still I am the only developer there its not like he needs to keep paying 10 Developers.
Also:
- I don't get paid vacation
- I don't have paid holiday
- I don't have paid sick days
- My Monthly salary is 2000 euro GROSS (before taxes) which hourly translates to 12 Euro per hour
- I have to pay taxes by myself
- Working remotely has its own expenses: food, heating, electricity, internet and etc.
- There are few other technical stuff I am responsible of which I can't disclose in this post.
I don't know if I'm overacting and asking a lot, but summarizing everything the only expense he has regarding me is the 2000 euro he sends me on which of course he doesn't need to pay taxes as I'm doing that in my country.
Apart from that just in case I spend my free time in keeping myself updated with other tech which I would say I fairly experienced with like: Flutter/Dart, ES6, NodeJS, Express, GraphQL, MongoDB, WebSockets, ReactJS, React Native just to name few, some I know better than the other and still I feel like I don't get what I deserve.
What do you think, do I ask a lot or should I start searching for other job?23 -
Leave the house for 30 fucking minutes and the courier attempts to deliver my new notebook just then---after four days in transit. And, of course, they don't deliver at the weekend.
I swear the guy was camped outside my house waiting to fuck me over.1 -
Part 1: https://devrant.com/rants/4298172/...
So we get this guy in a meeting and he is now saying "we can't have application accounts because that violates our standard of knowing who accessed what data - the application account anonamizes the user behind the app account data transaction and authorization"
And so i remind him that since it's an application account, no one is going to see the data in transit (for reference this account is for CI/CD), so the identity that accessed that data really is only the app account and no one else.
This man has the audacity to come back with "oh well then thats fine, i cant think of a bunch of other app account ideas where the data is then shown to non-approved individuals"
We have controls in place to make sure this doesnt happen, and his grand example that he illustrates is "Well what if someone created an app account to pull github repo data and then display that in a web interface to unauthorized users"
...
M******* why wouldnt you JUST USE GITHUB??? WHO WOULD BUILD A SEPARATE APPLICATION FOR THAT???
I swear I have sunk more time into this than it would have costed me to mop up from a whole data breach. I know there are situations where you could potentially expose data to the wrong users, but that's the same issue with User Accounts (see my first rant with the GDrive example). In addition, the proposed alternative is "just dont use CI/CD"!!!
I'm getting pretty pissed off at this whole "My compliance is worth more than real security" bullshit. -
follow up from my previous rant
(https://devrant.com/rants/1058071)
after a conversation with the intern product owner he came up with the idea of me going to the client and sit next to the person who send me the csv file.... and 'work it out together'... THE INSTRUCTIONS AREN'T IN FUCKING OLD GREEK! Even a potato could do it... No wait, potato's are too smart for that... I mean... it are easy work hours... Without doing much....
But I didn't become a programmer in order to sit next to the client and 'work it out together'... It would also suck to go to the client because I have no drivers licence (never had to have one, yay public transit!)
Why can't it be Christmas already? I could use some free time.... -
Shout out to the storm that left me with a spotty internet connection since the weekend... Fuck this...
Also shout out to my ISP who can still get this fixed within the week despite the weather conditions in this whole country...
And now, even public transit is down and I can't ride to work with my damn bike because of the fucking weather... Some construction job that fucked things up... Well, shout out to that guy too for smoking Crack or whatever on the job. 😠
Fuck, if this day gets any worse I will probably end up in the hospital, jail or the morgue.2 -
"Our Data Service comes PRE-P0WN'D"
Those SHIT-FOR-BRAINS data service providers GLOAT that their data can be natively integrated into most BI platforms, no code required.
How? Because they will EXPOSE THE ENTIRE FUCKING THING ON THE INTERNET.
LITERALLY.
UNAUTHENTICATED URL WITH THE ENTIRE DATASET.
STATIC. WON'T EVER FUCKING CHANGE.
NO VPN REQUIRED. NO AUTHENTICATION HEADERS. NO IN-TRANSIT ENCRYPTION.
"It is safe! No one will know the secret token that is a parameter in the url"
BLOODY BYTE BUTTS, BATMAN! IT IS A FUCKING UNAUTHENTICATED URL THAT DOES NOT REQUIRES RENEWAL NOR A VPN, IT WILL LEAK EVENTUALLY!
That is the single fucking worst SELF-P0WN I have ever seen.
Now I know why there are fucking toddlers "hacking" large scale databases all over the globe.
Because there are plenty of data service providers that are FUCKING N00BS.4 -
When do you see/perceive-that a Dev transit from junior to senior?
I'm an undergrad, working, by now, for 9 months in companies meanwhile studying, I have found that I didn't really had any difficult time dealing with the requirements/specs in the working environment, I always found myself being able to adapt to the problem and deal with it, and by this way of doing I can hardly see myself as a junior. What do you think about? (Excuse me for any mistake, I'm drink)2 -
Has anybody worked on a transit mobile app? That uses GTFS data and displays routes and times and trip plans etc.? What to use for backend?3
-
Seriously, what is the point of a 1px border-radius? It's barely discernible from 0. It looks like the button got slightly dented in transit or something.
If you're going to round the corners, at least go 2px so it's noticeable by the average user or not at all. COMMIT! :)

I think UPS' Api documentation and service must be the worst documented and build API I have ever seen from a corporate.
1. The developer website is a mess. A total mess. You can barely find the API type you are looking for.
2. When you get the API and download the documentation, the files, .pdf etc is still a mess. Pages long that most are craps.
3. Each request returns Status Code 200. Even if it is an error. This blew my mind.
4. Each request, based on error type or based on tracking activity returns different JSON schema.
For example, the JSON Schema for a shipment in transit is different from JSON schema for a shipment that has been delivered. A shipment that has been returned, a shipment that required signature etc. They are different from each other.
5. And the worst. They do not provide with test tracking codes. I have found some on internet, but they do not work in development and production environment.4 -
Co-workers conversation about the new Google Pixel... "I won't get it because they steal your soul, same reason why I don't have the iPhone with the finger print.. they want to have all your information... blah blah..."
I laugh, because they device doesn't matter... your info gets stolen in transit... so all your snap chat, IG DMs, and all of communication potentially at risk to be "stolen".
Example, Gov't splicing into underwater fiber optic cables and redirecting traffic to a data center...
Understand the tech.. please.2 -
I've had a meeting cancelled, but I think that'll only be the beginning. For my own part, my commute takes place not only on public transit, but on the train that runs between downtown and the airport. So I will probably start working from home this week. I'm commuting today, just to see though.
-
I like my job, but I will happily admit there is always something better out there, though it will be hard to find, which is fine with me. To assist with this, I made a form response for recruiters:
Is it a contract?
Is the budget for the role less than XXX a year?
Is it located in a suburban place with limited or nonexistent transit access?
If any answers are yes, I am not interested.1 -
So I have a question to anyone familiar with the General Transit Feed Specification...
Why is the data provided in text files? Is there not a way to format the data to allow for random access to it?
Like I'm currently writing a transit app for a school project, and as far as I can tell, the only way to get all specific stops for a route, is to first look up all trips in a route, then look up all the stopids that are associated with a trip in stoptimes.txt (while also filtering out duplicates since the goal is to get stop ids, not specifically stop times) and then look up those stop ids in the stops.txt file.
The stoptimes file alone is over 500000 lines long, unless there is a way better way to be parsing the data that I'm not aware of? Currently I'm just loading the entire stoptimes file into a data structure in memory because the extra bit of ram used seems negligible compared to the load times I'm saving...
Would it be faster if I just parsed all the data once and threw it into a database? (And then updated the database once a month when the new data comes in?)3 -
Hey y'all!
this is my first post, so mind me if my question sounds obvious, but googling around it gave me contradicting articles.
I wanted to ask if there's the possibility to make a living off being an AI developer outside my country (Italy), because, like I wrote in my bio, despite a CS degree and specialization in machine learning, the only jobs I landed were about maintaining useless outdated webapps. I can tell you that the first job's project was a JSP/servlet app that could run only in internet explorer (yes, internet explorer, in 2019), maybe you won't believe me, but if you do, maybe you can partially understand why I want to flee my place.
Add that I had to commute by train + subway to get to work, losing some 3 extra hours a day because of that.
I mean, if I really have to take the hassle of public transit in order to work, at least I want to enjoy it a bit. Please get me outta here.4 -
You know I'm looking around a t a museum of 3d graphics programming right now.
Not my first time but the same arcade machines are playing the same tooons over and over again in an eerie way and strange;y thertes a basketball game up there on several large screen tvs too...
I remember my first detailed look at opengl.
For some reason it just never worked for me.
But I see all these incredible sources of past fortune sitting unplayed, and think.. wow... what a waste.
these brought me many hours of joy and gave me an opportunity or so I thought to try to make friends and meet other teens when I was younger.
They represent countless hours of lovingly crafted mind-crack, and noone smokes them anymore.
Aliens armaggedon sits right in front of me, holstered faux guns glowing in red alluringly.
the huge box of unclaimed mooks and stuffed sheep sit there sadly robotic arms that can never reach them just hanging rusting, unloved by a new generation to curse them for never grasping anything and stealing their quarters and a HUGE 96 inch or more screen for Tomb Raider, FUCKING TOMB RAIDER hums in a corner just slightly out of my full view.
and noone is here. why ?
and yet the gaming industry supposedly continued to thrive.
in a way arcades were better they kept people from being addicted to wowcrack.
just like raising gasoline prices would prompt the creation of cleaner more efficient mass transit.2 -
Looking for a recommendation on what I should use to code on my phone.
I own an iPhone and usually spend a lot of time on public transit. I thought that it would be better to spend that time coding or learning something new. I am semi experienced in programming and this would help me get better as well.
Any recommendations on any app (possibly free) that I could download to kinda allow me to code and learn at the same time?5 -
Garbage Lenovo Carbon X1 is garbage.
Plugged it in to charge this afternoon for multiple hours, then carry it to the train. Open it up for some in-transit dev time and...
...it's dead. Fuck sakes!1 -
!dev
Missed the fucking bus to work because they changed up the times here without prior notice...
So no more having the "nice" train (with comfy clean seats, wifi and airco) but the "crap" train (old dirty seats, no wifi and no airco) AND a quarter of an hour wait...
I rly need a drivers license... -
As urban infrastructure projects venture deeper beneath city streets, the need for reliable compact power solutions becomes vital. An Industrial concealed socket system provides robust, low profile outlets integrated directly into tunnel walls, ensuring uninterrupted power for lighting rigs, ventilation units and monitoring equipment. In rapidly expanding underground networks—from subway expansions to utility corridors—the capacity to deliver stable power while minimizing spatial footprint drives both safety and efficiency efforts.
Tunnels demand equipment that withstands high humidity, dust and occasional splashes without compromising performance. A recessed socket module sealed with durable gaskets offers IP rated protection, keeping internal contacts free of debris and corrosion. By embedding these modules flush with concrete or prefabricated panels, installers eliminate protruding covers that might snag maintenance cables or equipment trolleys. The result is a sleek interface that blends seamlessly into the hardened environment, reducing trip hazards and simplifying cleaning routines in confined spaces.
In smart city initiatives, underground spaces host sophisticated sensor networks that track air quality, structural movement and lighting intensity. Each sensor node relies on local power access, making strategically placed concealed sockets indispensable. Modular socket clusters enable technicians to add or relocate outlets alongside fiber optic junctions and network switches, supporting rapid deployment of IoT devices without extensive wiring overhauls. This flexibility accelerates modernization efforts, letting urban planners upgrade systems in existing tunnels with minimal disruption to transit services.
Safety protocols in subterranean environments prioritize rapid isolation of faulty circuits. Concealed socket panels can house miniature protective devices that trip at the first sign of overload or short. Clear labeling and color coded terminals inside the enclosure guide service crews during inspections, while lockable covers prevent unauthorized access. These features ensure that power faults do not escalate into equipment failures or fire risks, maintaining safe operational conditions even amid high traffic subway platforms and service galleries.
Maintenance efficiency also benefits from quick release mounting systems. Technicians working under tight schedules appreciate panels that slide out of their housings on guide rails, granting direct access to wiring without chiseling out concrete or dismantling support frames. A captive fastener design keeps screws linked to the cover, preventing lost hardware in hard to reach areas. Such user friendly details reduce downtime for lighting lamp replacements or duct sensor recalibrations, keeping tunnel inspections on schedule.
Energy efficiency targets in green transit corridors demand that distribution systems minimize losses. By positioning concealed sockets near loads, cable lengths shrink and voltage drops decrease. Grouped outlets can feed LED luminaires, emergency fans and platform charging stations for electric maintenance carts, all managed through local distribution hubs. In combination with power monitoring modules, these sockets feed usage data back to centralized control centers, enabling predictive maintenance and load balancing that support uninterrupted service.
Construction timelines for urban tunnels often overlap with renovation works in adjacent structures. A concealed socket solution simplifies staging, as workers can mount compact panels into temporary formwork or steel liners. The ability to preset wiring before final concrete pours accelerates progress and reduces scheduling conflicts. Once structural works conclude, outlets are immediately available for installation of lighting bridges and safety beacons, ensuring a smooth handover from civil to electrical teams.
As cities push for resilient underground networks to meet rising transit and utility demands, the right power distribution approach becomes a cornerstone of project success. By choosing sleek, durable modules designed for harsh subterranean conditions, engineers deliver a safer, more adaptable environment for both equipment and personnel. For tailored industrial concealed socket solutions that support underground innovation, explore Nante.2 -
I don't know about your country but this feature is novel among Nigeria's financial institutions. What usually happens in a typical bank app is same as above: fields are provided for entering account details. There is no way to know the outcome of the transfer until it's made. If it fails in transit (often, you're debited but the recipient gets nothing), you might get a reversal if you're lucky, after an indefinite period of time. Otherwise, you have to take it up with your bank or the recipient's bank. Or worse, with the central bank, when the first two are not being helpful enough
Enter this new generation fintech (Opay). They offer an addition that impresses all customers: after selecting the bank, a popup appears that notifies you on the stability of the receiver's network. Someone sent me this screenshot seeking my permission or provision of another bank. I didn't think much of it and asked them to proceed. To my surprise, transaction failed and their money instantly reversed
Those traditional banks clearly have no api for health checks, otherwise they'd all adopt it within their own apps. So, how is this possible? My only guess is that Opay maintains their own health checks system that is updated maybe by periodically pinging those banks with nominal fees like N1 and verifying whether money was received
It's obviously primitive but I doubt traditional bank apis return a failure response (since none currently tells you when transaction failed). So you'd have to rely on workarounds emulating manual and automated testing
To those in the fintech sector or with a faint idea of what's going on, can you explain?

Bubble Wrap at Home Depot: The Essential Guide for Safe and Efficient Packaging
Introduction
When it comes to packing and protecting fragile items, bubble wrap stands out as a crucial material. Its air-filled bubbles provide cushioning that guards against impacts, vibrations, and scratches. Home Depot, a leading retailer in home improvement and supplies, offers a range of bubble wrap products suited for various needs. This guide delves into the options available at Home Depot, their benefits, and tips for effectively using bubble wrap.
Types of Bubble Wrap Available at Home Depot
Home Depot stocks a diverse selection of bubble wrap, catering to different packing requirements. Here’s an overview of the types you might encounter:
Standard Bubble Wrap
Standard bubble wrap is the most common type and features 1/2-inch bubbles. This variant is ideal for protecting everyday items during moves or storage. It’s versatile, offering sufficient cushioning for most household goods like dishes, electronics, and picture frames.
Large Bubble Wrap
Large bubble wrap comes with bigger bubbles, typically 3/4 inches in diameter. It provides enhanced protection for larger and more delicate items such as televisions, mirrors, and fragile furniture. The increased bubble size offers superior cushioning and shock absorption.
Anti-Static Bubble Wrap
Anti-static bubble wrap is specially designed for electronic components and sensitive equipment. It prevents static electricity from building up, which can damage electronic circuits. This type of bubble wrap is essential for shipping or storing items like computer parts, circuit boards, and other tech gadgets.
Perforated Bubble Wrap
Perforated bubble wrap features evenly spaced perforations that make it easy to tear off sections without needing scissors. This convenience is perfect for packing smaller items or when you need to use bubble wrap in smaller quantities. It’s a practical choice for both home and office use.
Bubble Wrap Rolls and Sheets
Home Depot offers bubble wrap in various roll sizes and pre-cut sheets. Rolls are ideal for larger packing tasks, as they allow you to cut the exact length needed. Pre-cut sheets, on the other hand, are handy for quick packing and can be used directly without additional cutting.
Benefits of Using Bubble Wrap
Bubble wrap offers several benefits that make it a go-to choice for packaging and protection:
Impact Protection
The air-filled bubbles in bubble wrap absorb and disperse shock, reducing the risk of damage during transit. This impact resistance is crucial for protecting fragile items from breakage.
Scratch Prevention
Bubble wrap creates a cushion around items, preventing scratches and scuffs. This is particularly useful for protecting surfaces of electronics, glassware, and furniture.
Versatility
Bubble wrap can be used for a wide range of items and packing scenarios. Whether you’re moving house, shipping products, or storing valuables, bubble wrap adapts to various needs.
Lightweight
Despite its protective qualities, bubble wrap is lightweight and doesn’t add significant weight to your packages. This feature helps in reducing shipping costs and makes handling easier.
Reusable
Many people reuse bubble wrap for multiple packing jobs. Its durability allows it to be effective over several uses, making it an environmentally friendly option.
How to Use Bubble Wrap Effectively
To maximize the benefits of bubble wrap, follow these tips for effective use:
Wrap Items Securely
Ensure that each item is fully covered with bubble wrap. For delicate items, use multiple layers for added protection. Place the bubble wrap with the bubbles facing inward for optimal cushioning.
Fill Empty Spaces
When packing items in boxes, fill any gaps with bubble wrap to prevent movement. This helps in reducing the risk of items shifting during transit.
Seal the Package Well
Once wrapped, secure the bubble wrap with packing tape. Ensure that all edges are sealed to keep the wrap in place and provide a complete protective layer.
Use Appropriate Size
Choose the right type and size of bubble wrap based on the items you’re packing. Larger bubbles are better for big, fragile items, while smaller bubbles are suitable for everyday objects.
Avoid Over-Packing
While bubble wrap is protective, over-packing can lead to unnecessary bulk and weight. Aim for a balance where items are cushioned but the package remains manageable.
Conclusion
Bubble wrap from Home Depot is an indispensable tool for protecting fragile items during moving, shipping, or storage. With various types available, including standard, large, anti-static, and perforated options, you can find the right bubble wrap to meet your needs.
