That's just God telling you to go to the bad gateway.

Hey no problem! And I didn't mean anything by it; my reply could have been read with snark included, and I definitely didn't intend it. Good on you for taking breaks when you need to. You're good people, and the world needs more of you.

Our subdivision was built in about 2004. They didn't put dark fiber in the ground, for some reason. It took about fifteen years for a private company to come in and lay fiber. I had Comcast/Xfinity at the time (I think it was 250Mb, and definitely asynchronous), who had already started sending out their promotions for gigabit internet service, so I called them up to see if I could get that. "That's only available if you get internet and TV and phone."

Oh, so you can give me just gigabit internet, but you won't give me just gigabit internet.

It was another year before the fiber service was lit, I was the first person to get it in my neighborhood, and it is absolutely fantastic.

Sure, but they really should be describing it as 10Gb (gigabit). Even that could easily get confused with 10GB (gigabyte), which would be used for a file size.

Not since they shut down API access. Now it's obvious why they did that.

The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions. I’m sure the terms of service—if I bothered to read them—gives them that permission.

Well there's your problem.

I was so confused for a moment.

While that's not strictly a Guy Fawkes mask, holy shit does the non-blurred version get even stupider. It's like the people who picked the image for the story thought, "Even we can't put up something that stupid."

I haven't even gotten to the text of the story, because I was stopped in my tracks by the stupidest stock photo I have ever seen, wherein someone in full riot gear with an ultra-modern machine pistol is prepared to shoot someone at point blank range, when they're already in handcuffs, which are, inexplicably, in front and not behind. And how cold is it in that basement that you'd be working while wearing a hoodie (with the hood up, of course) and a jacket zipped up over it?

Before they shut down the APIs, I deleted all my posts and edited all my comments.

Spez doesn’t get to profit from me anymore. And hopefully I’m poisoning the well.

Why is the default setting to enable remote administration?

That’s fair, but it stands to reason that if a Microsoft web product isn’t super compatible with its own desktop product, a third party would be less so.

The character Archie Bunker in All In The Family was originally offered to Mickey Rooney, who declined. Carroll O'Connor lived in Europe, and accepted the role only because he thought the show would fail and he could go home, so much so that part of his contract with Norman Lear included a return plane ticket to Rome so that he could fly back when it failed

 

TIL: Harley Davidson licensed its motorcycles to Rikuo Internal Combustion Company in Japan, starting in the 1920s and continuing until Rikuo stopped production in 1959, including during World War 2
