Yeah but it isn’t really redundant (even if it could have been worded better). Someone might believe that the other shareholders have some say in how the company operates when they won’t.

So, as far as control over the company is concerned, the Saudis have 100% control even though they don’t have 100% of the shares.

But discouraging the “wrong” people from voting is a deliberate tactic.

We used to call the code that determined NPC behaviour AI.

It wasn’t AI as we know it now but it was intended to give vaguely realistic behaviour (such as taking a sensible route from A to B).

They didn’t say that it wouldn’t compete. They said that it wouldn’t compete on price.

I had a terrible first play through.

Enjoyment of movies is very personal so you can only really trust people who you know have similar tastes to you.

I’m pretty easy to please so Rotten Tomatoes is usually a good indicator whether I’ll like something or not provided it’s in a genre that I like.

It’s getting to be that way in the UK too.

It used to be that everyone could get an NHS dentist and get a lot of work done for free but not anymore. I think that we’re still all entitled to an NHS dentist but there aren’t enough of them so only kids have easy access.

But I was told that capitalism checks itself using something called “market forces”.

I like the series but it really hasn’t changed my opinion of the Warrens as I see them as purely works of fiction.

I suppose my complete disbelief of the existence of ghosts, spirits and demons affects that and someone who does believe might come to like the Warrens.

Spiky plant thingies suck. They’re so hard to get out of our dog’s ears and our cats’ fur because they all hate you doing it so fidget a lot.

Yeah. The Falklands War was referred to as a conflict in the UK.

You don’t for the one time codes because there is a standard that is supported by many authenticator apps.

App based 2FA is better. Either the app generates a time based code that you enter into the site or the site sends a push notification to the app asking you to verify the login attempt.

Passkeys are good too as they replace the password completely and leave the 2FA part to the device.

It’s better than nothing and some people would really struggle to do other types of 2FA.

I find this very odd because Azure DevOps is hardly ever down in our experience.

The best reaction video ever.

Along with Nathan Drake for exactly the same reason.

I think that it looks great but it doesn’t look big on privacy so I think that my wife would be a bit concerned about that.

Microsofts documentation is also increasingly just outright _wrong_:

There used to be a spot on joke about Microsoft documentation taking the piss out of the fact that it was always 100% accurate but at the same time pretty useless. That joke hasn’t been relevant for a while.

It’s so frustrating trying to find out how to do something in one of the admin centres for M365 and you find a Microsoft document with exactly what you need in it only to find out that the UI has changed and the steps don’t work now. Did they move it? Did they remove it? Who knows?

The AI Fix podcast had a piece about how someone let an AI agent do the coding for them but had a disaster because he gave it access to the production database.

Very funny.
