What's the most "First world problem" you've experienced?

Could you link an example? My google-fu is only turning up with aftermarket replacements for the push to start harness.
An example looks something like this
(It shows an one adapter in the first image but it shows an actual harness further down)
I didn't see one for Mercedes on that site, but it sounds like it mentions the existence of them here under method 3
Installation usually involves:
• Accessing the wiring behind your start/stop button
• Installing the module inline with the existing harness
• Securing the module in a hidden location
That page also suggests that you may be able to disable it with a programming tool on some models. Depending on what you have I'd give that a try first

Thanks boss. I'll see if my car guy can do the OBD2 setting next time I'm in. Wild that there is a viable market for a component to disable this baby puncher of a feature.

Only around 1 hour I think. Part of the problem is the confusing UI and the not so helpful tutorial. I have lowered the difficulty but the tutorial tries to teach me everything at the same time.
I have similar issues with CP2077. I think CDPR is good at characters/stories, but not so good at introducing game mechanics.
Can't argue with that. White Orchad suuuckss, but once you leave the area (thankfully is short) and the world starts opening up to you it's so worth it, trust.

I do like narrative games, and I prefer games with full voice acting with W3 seems to have. I will try it again eventually. Thanks for the suggestion.

not me but i would imagine people who lived in a gas-attendant place would wonder where the helpers are if they visited a place where there's no gas attendant.
for my own experience, lost the tv remote, tv is now unusable.
The TV one is real. Without the remote the TV has one button. Hitting it turns it on if it’s off. When it’s on, hitting it brings up a menu, tap to what you want then hold it down to select it. Even turning it off is super annoying, but trying to do anything else is damn near impossible.

My job is like 8 miles away from my house, so during the winter, I don't get to have the car cranked long enough for it to fully warm up by the time I have made it to work, so if I forget to use my remote start then I have to drive a cold car to work.

Funny story, in my biol class the ac is too cold...so the prof brought in 4 electric space heaters to warm up the room. Cant hear him over the sound of the A/C and heaters fighting.
Set up a wireless microphone by him at the front of the room. Hook the receiver up to headphones with active noise cancellation --- those do a really good job of filtering out fan noise.

I've always felt that humanity can overcome, or at least mitigate, any hurdles opposing it via use of money and technology.

It’s an OBDEleven. It only works for VW, Audi group cars though.

There's decent odds that whatever device you are playing the podcast on is capable of running software that does audio time stretching. This will speed up playback, but without making the audio sound high-pitched.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_remote
A universal remote is a remote control that can be programmed to operate various brands of one or more types of consumer electronics devices. Low-end universal remotes can only control a set number of devices determined by their manufacturer, while mid- and high-end universal remotes allow the user to program in new control codes to the remote. Many remotes sold with various electronics include universal remote capabilities for other types of devices, which allows the remote to control other devices beyond the device it came with. For example, a VCR remote may be programmed to operate various brands of televisions.

I was at a gas station one day, pumping my gas like normal when this lady came up to me. She was from New Jersey and visiting my state and had no idea how to pump her own gas. New Jersey doesn't allow you to pump your own gas BTW. I talked her through it and she seemed genuinely freaked out by the whole experience, like she was afraid her car would just burst into flames as she pumped. She was an older lady too (maybe 50-60), but i guess she never traveled alone before and just hadn't had to do it for herself. Nice lady though, she gave me 5 bucks for helping her out.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if her husband always did it, and he might have died.
One thing I think is a good idea in a marriage --- which often, especially traditionally, divided up responsibilities --- is to have the other partner do any important things at least enough to know how to do it at a basic level if they have to do so in a pinch. Could be taxes or making dinner or fueling the car or whatever. You may not always be available, and, to be blunt, one of you is going to die first.
Something I had not thought of but ran into with some people who lived with someone --- not even always a spouse --- and had someone die who always handled X and never learned how to do it themselves. If suddenly, in addition to someone dying, you now have to immediately deal with the fact that you don't know how how the family finances work, or paying utilities works, or where the X, Y, and Z subscription comes from, it just adds more load. It's a lot easier to deal with it ahead of time.

I want to find whoever or whatever team decided that was a good idea and kick them so hard that their grandkid's grandkids feel the pain.

This exists solely to game fuel efficiency tests, because the tests were/are designed with long periods of idling.
They basically added a feature that uses more fuel in 99% of real world scenarios, to beat fuel efficiency tests in a controlled environment, then greenwashed it as a fuel efficiency "feature". Isn't capitalism fun?
They knew the structure of the tests beforehand, and regulators haven't changed the tests, because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as "democracy".
