If your TV finds an open network (neigbours?) it will use that one

I looked into this last year while researching TVs and couldn’t find anything to substantiate it.

This just hit global news: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/17/amazon-we...

Amazon Web Services customers receive bills for up to $1.5tn after global glitch

Should have said Gemini 1 Hackathon, pesky hallucinations.

A tip from a 2024 Google paper[0]:

It's important to note that the risk of misuse is significantly lower for individuals who have never had typical speech patterns

How to Hide from Killer Drones:

It's important to note that that the risk of being riddled with drone bullets is significantly lower for individuals who have never had human physical characteristics.

That depends upon where one is playing Truck Simulator

A term still used on Tahoe. Right click a file in Finder, Get Info. A file permissions option is "Write only (Drop Box)"

If you’re continuing to use the previous version in CI, there’s no reason to not use this locally. It’s a tremendous speed upgrade.

Unrelated. I noticed that the settings window (Cmd-,) text inputs all type from the right instead of the left like older macOS inputs (or web inputs[0])

Is that a thing macOS is moving to? I'm sure I've seen Apple use these too.

a macOS port of a 20 year old game

GeneralsX is the macOS port. It ported a 20 year old game.

"it was able to get a macOS port of a 20 year old game to run on iOS"

still very cool, and sci fi not long ago

Further, why has my brain's searing remake of Snow White as a gritty murder mystery gone unscathed by Disney lawyers? Surely their negligence has diluted the Snow White trademark!

It gets so awful. Here's one of the worst I remember, 2019: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/missouri-health-directo...

You’re describing one view. We want two.

It does permit something individuals don’t have: the internal investigation.

The internal investigation has determined that our CEO had no knowledge of this, and that the bloody pig mask was all the idea of the people who make less money, and also we fired the CEO for unrelated reasons.

Yeah - what happens when a forum post quotes 8 different conversations?

It’d need to be a whole new thing, not just a new view on top of phpBB

That new thing could be possible, though

Although it's just anecdata, after spending $600 on the console, I certainly was dismayed to find 10-year old games only being sold at their original prices. Surely they should at least track inflation?

Perhaps Sony could add an optional tipping screen before digital checkout for the good customers.

I don't think this covers comments (...on subreddits you don't mod)

It's definitely been a lot harder for me to uncover sockpuppetry

Lincoln famously wrote and never mailed letters as a way to vent emotions.

When you say you "give it back the same," are you saying you also are savage in reviewing their PRs, or that you are savage when replying negatively to their feedback?

If just the former, I strongly disagree that the two of you are arguing.

To illustrate why this is stupid, I will furnish two links to purchase Dark Souls 3 (PS4, 2016)

Ebay, to buy: $11 + shipping[0]

PS Store, to rent: $60[1]

I'm sure you love Reddit's decision to allow users to hide their post history.

Also NYC. A classic was mounting a bright light outside a window so it appears as “sun-drenched” as the description claimed.

(Unrelated, my favorite one was getting to the apartment and learning the “bedroom” was a flex wall in the kitchen)

OTOH it lets you file a bug report :)

As opposed to, "well, you should have ran it in a container if you didn't want your baby photos deleted"

A good but altogether separate note from the point I’m making: this lack of access is seen as an obstacle to overcome, and other means of access will be tried if available.

It’s a different mental model than a first party solution to “ignore” files.
