People could still play the Overwatch that they paid for if the game hadn't been designed to require Blizzard's continued support and approval to function. In some number of years, Fortnite will be shutdown or replaced with something different and the people who grew up playing Fortnite will never be able to go back to play it again.

There's clearly interest in online-only games that are killed. World of Warcraft and Runescape have classic versions so you can play a variation of the game how it used to be.

It also returns these auto dubbed videos in search results, making it increasingly difficult to find intelligible videos about foreign topics. You'll get a native describing the problem to other natives with a common understanding, auto transcribed, auto translated, and auto dubbed.

Here's a hilariously bad example. This video has an AI English dub. https://youtu.be/DNceEVQulwY?t=908 (warning: up close whispering) Have you ever noticed YouTube's automatic translation system sometimes buffers up a lot of text and dumps a whole paragraph on screen at once?

He's screwed. He and others in his administration made it an integral part of his platform. Whether it exists or not, his supporters, who have been trained to believe in a deep state conspiracy to cover up child abuse, cannot be convinced that it doesn't exist, and the more he denies it the more suspicious he looks. Either releasing the evidence would end him, or through multiple layers of convenient, unbelievable incompetence the promised evidence really doesn't exist. Really? Only one camera that can only see a sliver of a stairway was working and even that has a time gap, and the guards just happened to be slacking off on the night in question? It'd be hard to believe even if the Trump administration hadn't made such a big deal about it and there wasn't that photo going around of Trump and Epstein together.

Port scanning isn't abuse but automatically filing frivilous abuse reports is.

Does that mean Grok has always trying to say this but this time the filter didn't work?

It's not normal for - model-cache:/cache to be deleted on restart or even upgrade. You shouldn't need to do this.

He claims to have finally realized what everyone else knew from the start.

Commit an unprecedented crime, pay an unprecedented fine.

The server responds with a 404 error. If you're using a reverse proxy, make sure the reverse proxy rules are right. Does it work when you connect directly?

The current version of PowerShell is already past 7.0. They all use the same syntax, but some PowerShell 4 commands for less common Windows features only work through a compatibility mode.

Isn't this a complicated problem? Android has no "hotseat." Each launcher has it's own layout and each phone manufacturer has it's own default launcher. The complaint makes it sound like Google just chooses not to do it.

It's relatively easy for Cloudflare to profile clients as being web scrapers. A concerning amount of internet traffic goes through their servers in plain text.

You mean Crowdstrike? Cloudflare is a different problem.

Until a few years ago, it was common for Android devices to stop receiving features after about 1 year and then stop receiving security updates after 2 years. Unless you're getting security updates another way, which may not work correctly and may even require you to build Android yourself, you should not use the device for anything important after that point. The batteries would be next to useless by that time. Now it seems more common to get three years, which isn't great either. iPhones last longer, but they come with all the iPhone problems.

vdo.ninja?

The start menu being React Native is irrelevant. If it were React in an Edge web view that would be a different story.

Opening the start menu should cause a spike in CPU usage. You want the CPU to open the menu ASAP instead of dragging out the process so the CPU usage is more flat.

But everything in Windows these days is wasting time stealing your data, loading ads or other unnecessary data from cloud services, and interacting with "AI." Performance is one of the lowest priorities, somewhere between software quality and privacy. Since mid Windows 10, Microsoft consistently replaces things with modernized, but worse, versions and never returns to finish making the new version as good as the previous version that evolved over decades. It's a really expensive way to ruin a product. They could make a React Native start menu where people wouldn't complain about the performance. They probably did and people are only noticing now because of a recent regression.

Yes. No taxes on tips is a weird exception that encourages tipping wages. We should be discouraging tipping.

That's part of it. The other part is that Google, and other search engines, assume you're clueless and try to "fix" your query for you, and you can't stop it because they've been removing support for searching exact words or using boolean expressions or excluding words.

Is this a lost karma bot?

A less intrusive solution would be to just put your sensitive data in LUKS and configure services that use that data to depend on the partition being mounted. That doesn't require modifying the normal system startup process. You're less likely to mess up your startup process at the expense of needing to be more mindful about where you're putting your files.
