Politicians keep getting caught breaking their own stay at home orders. I'm getting the impression they think the rules don't apply to them.

@comfy Most leakers are pieces of shit, with some honorable exceptions, like the absolute madman who exposed The Last of Us 2 being such horrific garbage.

Gaming Whitepill of the day - Okami is actually now a successful game:

https://nintendoeverything.com/okami-hd-sales-numbers-revealed-switch-version-sold-more-than-any-other-platform/

Okami HD has sold more than 2 million in total, pretty amazing after the original Okami sold pretty poorly on the PS2 and later on the Wii, two of the most successful home consoles out there. But I guess many years of great word of mouth combined with excellent current gen availability eventually proved effective.

HP... Storytime!

Not only printers. HP is on top of my do-not-buy list. No firmware updates without contract is the top reason.

I bought a vpn router once and it handed out "hp.com" as search domain via dhcp. And this was not configurable.

I got through their support stages via email. They even fixed the firmware. But then I couldn't download it, because I don't have a support contract.

Ah and there is a HP scanner which has a firmware with a broken smtp authentication, so it can send scans via email only without auth... oh and ssl is broken too. There is actually an update, but the firmware upload page requires an internet explorer (the scanner is from 2019 btw.).

Well, I got an internet explorer connected, after the fw upload, it takes 5 min an the scanner display shows: "firmare update is fail" and reboots.

I tried to open a ticket, but I can't because I don't have a support contract...

I also owned an HP MicroServer and even payed for the iLO License. But that doesn't mean I would get firmare updates... I only get the function to update the bios firmware, not the right to download a firmware itself. That's still behind the support contract.

I'm fed up with them.

@coolboymew @feld @Moon @georgia @promethea Imagine being fined or arrested for not calling some pretentious dude with a non-medical PhD "Doctor" - even though the guy is technically in the right, unlike a dude in a dress demanding to be referred to as a woman.

The guy demanding, let alone ordering people to refer to him in a certain way is generally the asshole - all the more so when he's demanding that people play pretend or outright lie depending on their perspective.

A blockchain is a linked list. Git is a linked list. Therefore git is a blockchain.
