Windows machines frequently do updates without a reboot nowadays and you can usually postpone an update to a more convenient time.

The problem is that when an update that requires a restart is waiting, it changes the standard restart button into one that does an update and restart. You can often fall into muscle memory and accidentally trigger an update.

When combined with the fact that you quite often get problems that go away with a reboot you can easily get yourself into OP’s position where they’re waiting for an update to finish at a really inconvenient time.

As a heavy YouTube user this simply is not my experience. Not that it never happens, but it’s not the default to the point that you can just assume that. In most cases your assumption is wrong.

Maybe it just depends on your viewing habits and what the algorithm pushes. I see loads of top 10 movie clips (e.g. sci fi movies on Netflix) in my feed that have an AI generated thumbnail and when I’ve viewed some of them there’s been no apparent AI use in the video.

I am also seeing AI generated clips where the thumbnail doesn’t look AI generated. That one’s very annoying as I don’t want to watch AI generated videos at all.

So they’re going to sanction India in the same week that they did a deal with Putin to supply diesel.

I got the emoji list up all the time on Teams when I didn’t want it. Apparently I use brackets a lot.

This is much better IMO.

Although they could have told us. That would have been nice.

I can feel sick due to engine braking and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a manual or an automatic as it happens with both. I leave my auto on the comfort setting and it can still cause sickness. The sport mode is worse and the eco mode wouldn’t cause sickness as it doesn’t have engine braking (I assume that it does the equivalent of dipping the clutch when you let off the accelerator)

As I understand it any unanticipated movement can cause motion sickness. I can’t read in a car otherwise I get sick really quickly. I can get sick in the front passenger seat even if I don’t read.

It’s just travel sickness so I don’t know why it doesn’t make sense. Changes in speed or direction can make you feel sick

I get it as a passenger in petrol cars. I start to feel sick if the driver cuts off on the power and then goes back to accelerating too suddenly.

That sounds like it would be worse in an EV with this feature turned on.

The first line of the article says that it accessed non-public data.

It was actually a post made by ChatGPT.

In no particular order:

Titanfall 2 single player / Titanfall 1 multiplayer Cyberpunk Batman: Arkham Knight Ghost of Tsushima Wipeout 2097

I thought that Descent was way better than Doom. We used to play it after work and it was fantastic.

I’ve never been a first person shooter fan though.

Technically I did miss it but I kinda assumed that he would incite genocide.

Yeah. All the companies seem to think that ads for their own products don’t count as ads. Same with all these ad free mobile games…. 99% of them show ads for in game purchases.

I think that the bullshit mental gymnastics that they all went through to allow them to do that was to call them promotions, not ads.

Do you think it’s possible that some women actually choose to wear the Hijab?

Exactly. People should not be forced to wear religious clothing but people should not be forced to not wear religious clothing either.

I was thinking that it was going to be a mobile game until the Xbox logo at the end of the

It looks good.

I want to do something similar with an Android tablet so that I can replace the Amazon ad delivery system in my kitchen. All I use it for now is timers and a shopping list.

I never get the time to do it though.

It’s better to have the law than not as the threat of prosecution can change behaviour.

However, I do think that it is very easy to avoid telling a lie while still misleading people. It’s a thing that politicians do so much it’d be a required skill listed in the job ad if one was posted.

The infamous Brexit bus only implied that we would be able to increase NHS funding by £350 million per week if we left the EU.

Even if you do say something that’s untrue it’d have to be proven that you knew it to be untrue at the time that you made the statement.

I think that you’d basically need to admit to lying or say something so ridiculous that it couldn’t possibly be true to get caught.

That’s more than mildly infuriating!

On the PS app in the UK it is “Add to cart” and then “Order & Pay”. As you say, they never use the word “buy”.

Private companies can issue tickets in the UK. It works for the most part in my part of the country.

There was a time where wheel clampers used to clamp vehicles using tactics such as bad signage and hiding until you’d left your car. We seem to have got them under control now.

If Europe made a similar statement about bolstering left wing media in the US he’d go nuts accusing them of election interference.
