This seems like a new bit of enshitification from Sibelga. Isn’t it somewhat incompetent to use a captcha just to collect 3 numbers? The graphical images they push are surely heavier than 3 numbers. We’re talking around ~20 digits in total.

If they are really worried that someone would stuff random numbers into their UI, a simple password would separate the ham from the spam.

Anyway, I don’t do CAPTCHA. Especially Google’s. I wonder how many people will solve their CAPTCHA and reinforce the anti-humanity problem. As I see it, we have a duty to not give the meter reading and make them send someone to read the meter.
