My mother's birthday is coming up, and she loves jewelry and likes QVC's stock. So I went to qvc.com and navigated to one of the categories. In response, I got the following:

Error message page on qvc.com reading "We're sorry, but QVC.com is currently unavailable. To continue purchasing products, please use Automated Ordering by calling 1-800-345-1212. For all other inquiries, call 1-888-345-5788. For TDD/TTY: 711 (National TRS). Error ID = 0.1953d117.1786487757.1655f7c9. Connecting Address = ..." with a "Copy to Clipboard" button. At the bottom of the screenshot, the Firefox developer tools show the network requests, the top of which has a clearly-visible 418 response code.

Not sure why I go the error message, but it's funny that the response code is 418.

(Also, I don't get that error if I use Chromium.)

    My previous company used to use that response code in the platform microservice for developer-misconfiguration errors lol. Grew to hate seeing it

    I'm guessing it might have something to do with either using Firefox or using a VPN, and if so, that takes it from !mildlyinteresting to !mildlyinfuriating.
