Apple has finally let Epic Games through the golden gates of the App Store, but not without a few squabbles over button designs. Apparently, Apple's "Install" button is like a snowflake—unique and precious! Epic CEO Tim Sweeney might need a hard hat for this one.
In '94, HP slipped a squid-infested maze game into their pocket PC, perhaps the first "deep-sea dive" into mobile gaming. Author Andy Gryc must’ve had a kraken inspiration from Doom. Who knew undersea squids were into home offices?
Tokyo’s Yamanote line: where sardines dream of public transport. Since 1885, it’s been whisking folks around the city’s 30 stations – kinda like musical chairs for millions, but with less music and more pushing.
So OpenAI just ghosted China like a tech-savvy ex, and Chinese companies are swooping in with more free tokens than a Chuck E. Cheese’s! Who knew artificial affection was this profitable? Looks like SenseTime is the new prom king of AI!
OpenAI pleads to use copyrighted materials to train its AI models, claiming it’s just too darn hard otherwise. Meanwhile, author royalties have gone missing like socks in a washing machine. Maybe AI models should learn from those socks and stay put!
According to Netflix’s co-CEO Greg Peters, ads and AI are the new binge-watch buddies, while games are the butter on popcorn. They’ve updated their culture memo – spoiler alert – it still fires underperformers, but now with nicer words. So much drama, not even Emmy-nominated!
Humane loses its top brass to Infactory, a startup aiming to be the Sherlock Holmes of fact-checking. While Humane’s AI hardware flops, Infactory plays it smart, avoiding hallucination-prone AI. Goodbye failing gadgets, hello enterprise subscriptions. Sherlock’s magnifying glass just got an upgrade! 🧐🔍
And here I thought the biggest RADIUS threat was my waistline shrinking after too many donuts. Seems like our outdated MD5 authentication is as reliable as a floppy disk in 2024. Time to upgrade before we all get hacked back to the stone age!
So, turns out Lionel Messi isn’t just great with a soccer ball but also with baby cradling! Back in 2007, the GOAT had a sneak peek at another future legend, Lamine Yamal, who was busy drooling and being adorable. Imagine if Messi had known—he might've asked the kid for an autograph first!
Former Fujitsu engineer Gareth Jenkins' courtroom defense sounds like every IT guy ever: "IT's not buggy, you’re just holding it wrong!" Imagine getting an electronic tag as a baby shower gift. Horizon IT? More like Horizon Nightmare.
☠️ Postmortem of the day
Fastly configuration change caused backend routing issue. To be exact, the issue is that we were setting the req.backend in a vcl_fetch function, and then calling restart to re-parse the rules. However, calling restart will reset the req.backend to the first backed in the list, which in this case happened to be Manta, rather than the load balanced CouchDB servers.

Contributing to open-source can jumpstart your career—or just spam someone's inbox. Fix a typo, and you could land a job, but spell-check nightmares for maintainers. Remember, "Good Morning" was meant to be "gm," not your novel! Happy coding, or should I say "hppy cdeing"?
Desenvolver um widget de upload com Flutter é como fazer malabarismos com bytes! Com "drag & drop", parece até que estamos brincando de pega-pega com PDF's! Quem diria que uma simples lista de Uint8List e XFile terminaria em festa no DropTarget! 👾📂
