- m4tthumphrey parentThat Colin Furze cameo was so weird.
- Either that number was wrong like you say OR (and I am unfamiliar with Bluesky) the URL is loaded via Bluesky's browser (like X) and therefore Bluesky's own server IP was used (instead of the user's).
Edit: Or (and more likely) cached/copies of the original.
- Jesus Christ, this hit a little too close to home. I had booked a similar price hotel for a period of time during the World Cup next in Vancouver in June; 11 nights in total. I had only reserved it (via Booking.com) until today when I paid the balance. I have been worried about this happening to me ever since I booked it. The price I got was VERY good (considering the event).
- I cannot fathom this. What an egregious waste of (assumed) public money.
Surely someone can request to see where this went? Even the original figure of $4.1m is insane.

- This happened to me for the first (and only time so far) the other day on a video that wasn’t even in another language but from an guy who sometimes posts in another language (but usually in English) but does have a strong German (I think) accent. I was so confused at first and it took me a while to figure out what was going on as I could tell his voice was weird and then noticed the audio was completely out of sync.
- I assumed this was going to be about Stick Death but I was mistaken! I had never heard of XiaoXiao before this article...
Stick Death was online when I first starting used the WWW, I was obsessed with it! It was just incredibly to me that someone could easily make these animations and get them online for everyone to see! I believe this around the same time as 2advanced and the "Flash intro" craze...
- I came here to say this too. I’m really not sure he’d leave his very public personal email in there in purpose. I am not ashamed to say I still use my personal Gmail for testing in 2025.
By the way, this is not specific to MCP, could have happened to any package.
- Framework for using your cars infotainment system as your screen/input device. Android has something similar called Android Auto.

- > Meta Ray-Ban Display is part of our vision to build the next computing platform that puts people at the center so they can be more present, connected, and empowered in the world.
Err what? How do glasses that let you procrastinate when physically connecting to people help that?!
Also the video demo has no sound and one of the examples genuinely looked like the wearer was having a text a convo with someone whilst sat across from people at dinner…
- > I answered
This is honestly the cause IMO. I refuse to any call from any number not in my phone book, UNLESS I am expecting a very specific call and if it’s not who I expect, I hang up with no conversation.
- I’m sure the original first season of 24 had a plot similar to 9/11 too.
- NO WAY!! I will check this out later! Thanks!
- I don't mind them doing it, but they shove it in my face constantly when I've clearly said I am not interested.
- I am a huge Plex power user; watching something at least once a day.
Unfortunately, Plex is a bit of a mess these days - constantly pushing Live TV on us, requiring internet access to access local media (this is a killer whenever internet goes down), overly complex, clunky remote access (altho this is much better these days). But it still isn't bad enough to make me try and migrate. I love my local setup (Sonarr and a custom app for movies as Radarr is OTT for the amount of movies we watch) and Plex is very polished (compared to the alternatives) but I do wonder how much longer it will be around.
- I feel like this will be the next big cat and mouse sega after ad-blockers;
1) Produce AI tool 2) Tool gets used for bad 3) Use anti-AI/AI detection to avoid/check for AI tool 4) AI tool introduces anti-anti-AI/detection tools 5) Repeat
- Right? Can anyone answer this? The article doesn’t go into it.
- Don't quote me but I don't think this is quite true if you take tax credits and other "benefits" into account - especially when it comes to child support.
- I just say “I work with computers”. I get the nod of “oh right nice” and that’s it. Done.
- This is very odd. Hardly any of them look alike let alone doppelgänger status...
- I do use adblock on desktop but never got round to it on mobile.
But, either way, the average user likely isn't using an adblocker; how have we got to this stage where a website is more ads than content?
- Off topic: how can anyone use that website. The ads are pure aids.
- Unpopular opinion?: If they are only in the Updates tab why do ads matter? I don't know anyone who uses that tab...
- This has Kingsman vibes all over it.
- Video is real though
