Wherever is reading this, this article is worth looking at. Just trust me.

I take issue with “everything”, as most things are not. But it is a common trick when a developer wants to make a “new” file format that encapsulates a bunch of different files.

This reads like you work for Gamers Nexus and aren’t shy about it

… and is not a regex

Welp, Ars Technica has another theory:

Microsoft’s Azure status page outlines several fixes. The first and easiest is simply to try to reboot affected machines over and over, which gives affected machines multiple chances to try to grab CrowdStrike’s non-broken update before the bad driver can cause the BSOD. Microsoft says that some of its customers have had to reboot their systems as many as 15 times to pull down the update.

That’s some high quality speculation

I am so confused. What’s supposed to happen on the 15th reboot?

Isn’t that how it usually goes?

I don’t think that PS1 model of a car will ever look acceptable to me. It’s not a design that grows on you or you get accustomed to. It’s just bad.

This man is happy to let the nation burn to the ground, and pour extra fuel on top, so long as he stays in power.

You mean the thing any credit card issuer does anyway?

Alright, good to know.

For generic contactless payments at shops? Or some closed system that only works with other PayPal users?

Until earlier this year, I could make NFC payments with the app of my credit card company. AFAIK contactless payments on Android were never locked to Google Pay/Wallet. But I have no idea why there’s no competition in this space. I’d expect e.g. PayPal to have something, but if they do I never heard of it - and I did look once, briefly.

Also feel free to cross-post this to the other community, or anywhere else.

We’ll see if my efforts fare any better.

I’ll try to add that in. It’s actually a fairly old story (in AI timescale) but you’re right, it’s worth mentioning.

Reposted because someone else’s post was removed after I took issue with its AI-generated summary. If you’re reading this, I didn’t mean for this to happen, I hope you’re not too angry. I actually would have preferred if you just edited your summary to correct it. And FWIW, I upvoted your post.

Do you watch every video available? I certainly can’t. So I make use of teasers and descriptions. That’s what they’re there and useful for.

Sure, me too, but when you literally say “Instant disqualification for me” that’s an insane reaction. You should know when reading a summary that it’s not a perfect representation of the source. Even human-written summaries or articles very often misunderstand or misrepresent their sources, many times stating the exact opposite of the source because of it. This obviously happens with AI summaries as well. The “instant disqualification” is what you can’t excuse.
