This should be a link to LinkedIn post, but it is deleted along with Medium post. It was 112 not 86 if that makes it better. Or maybe 112 is second attempt after realizing what first result means.

I cannot post a screenshot, but you can see some cached info if you search for ″Ricardo Gabriel David IQ test″ in Bing (Bing shows an image for Medium article).

I know my work colleague is not. His Switch was cracked for I think 100+ eur which seems quite high, but since you can afterwards download pretty much any title from some pirate marketplace, that investment has been covered at least tenfold.

Another example is Exchange where all Admin Center (GUI) operations are calling PS commands underneath. Not everything is in Admin Center so you must use PS eventually. Not to mention that you cannot perform batch tasks without scripting.

I love its Verb-Noun system and verbose parameter names. It's easy to understand what command or parameter does just by the name. Get-MailboxPermission probably retrieves mailbox permissions, Stop-Process stops process, Remove-ADUser deletes AD user etc. If there would be no auto complete I might find it irritating, but once you get a hang of it, it's a breeze.

There is this novel concept - being allies. Current US government should look into it.

He's a dumb narcissist. He wants to be loved and respected and most likely genuinely thinks he's some sort of king of world who will fix everything.

Spam filters don't and should not have some global default whitelists that bypass all protection. One simple reason would be that someone's account is compromised and it sends out malicious mail.

I have seen Microsoft Defender spam filter detecting legitimate Microsoft mails as spam. It's just how spam filters work, there always can be false positives.

Biggest problem is that all of these people that you and me consider assholes do have a huge support. It's not like a dictator can be a dictator without any support.

So if I would order a hit on Elon, I would have no consequences? Sweet.

No, just searched their page for ″horse″

 

A Malaysian court has ordered the country's government to return 172 rainbow-coloured watches it seized from watchmaker Swatch last year.

The government said it took the timepieces from the Swiss company because they featured "LGBT elements" - homosexuality is illegal in Muslim-majority Malaysia and punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

However, a court ruled the government did not have a warrant to confiscate the items and a law prohibiting their sale was only passed later, making the seizure unlawful.

Malaysia's Home Affairs minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the government's legal team will need to "examine the basis of the judgement" before deciding to appeal against the order.

He said the government "must respect the decision, or else it would be viewed as contempt of court".

He went on to say his ministry may appeal against the ruling but must first "examine the basis of the judgement thoroughly".

Authorities raided Swatch shops across Malaysia in May 2023, but an order prohibiting sale of the watches was not issued until August 2023.

Therefore, Swatch had not committed an offence at the time of the seizure, the court ruled.

But the prohibition order has not been overturned, so although the watches - worth $14,000 (£10,700) - have been returned they cannot be sold.

The authorities must hand back the items within 14 days, government prosecutor Mohammad Sallehuddin Md Ali told the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.

Swatch took legal action contesting the seizure in June 2023, arguing the product was "not in any way capable of causing any disruption to public order or morality or any violations of the law".

Homosexuality is illegal under both secular and religious laws in Malaysia.

Swatch described the Pride flag as a "symbol of humanity that speaks for all genders and races", but at the time of the confiscation, the Malaysian government claimed the acronym "LGBTQ" could be found on the watches themselves.

The Swiss manufacturer argued the company's reputation had been damaged and business had suffered after the seizures.

Malaysian authorities claimed the watches "may harm... the interests of the nation by promoting, supporting and normalising the LGBTQ+ movement that is not accepted by the general public".

The Swatch Group declined to comment.

 

Ryanair will ship a physical gift card to your doorstep free of charge if it starts from 100 €, but ask 2 € for a virtual one that is sent via e-mail.

From their ToS:

A €2/£2 (or local currency equivalent) admin fee applies to Digital Gift Cards. A €5/£5 admin and delivery fee apply to Physical Gift Cards. This fee is waived for purchases exceeding €/£100.

Additionally the classic "Same number for differently valued currencies" making these fees approximate and not made based on the actual cost.

That statement is also written in a way that can be ambiguous whether fee is removed for only physical or both types.

And another thing is that it seems they are processing these virtual cards manually. You have to wait around 40 minutes between payment and e-mail. Guess that's why there is a fee, someone has to paste a code in mail and send it out.
