Teapot?
418 error

Is the correct answer! Well done, you are up Monday. 
I knew that it would either go quickly, or last all day but I liked that one.

For us dummies ... how does that get to teapot?

This is a HTTP response code.
Error 418 - I am a Teapot is in the specification RFC2324 - Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol.

Heh, I just told my colleagues about that. They did not believe me, but are now reading the RFC.
Thanks for reminding me about this sillyness.

I believed it, after all there's nothing sillier than the internet.

Humble again: Get GRID 2 for free[^]
It's a racer, Grid 2 - Wikipedia[^] with pretty good reviews. Steam is involved, unfortunately ... but you can't have everything!

I remember TOCA 2 when I had The Playstation. One of the hardest mofos ever. Thanks for the headsup.

Why a software update, that has only 3 fixes install 222 packages totaling over 1 GB?!

Same reason HOTS needs to download 50 Mb for a single minor change; it gets wrapped into a big chunk of data to download.
Seeing how excited everyone is about bundling javascript to prevent caching of existing libraries, I'm not very surprised.

If you mention npm packages than you should know about 4K challenge that none of JS people can beat: deliver software with less than 4096 npm packages.
Otherwise, it might happen that apart from 3 fixes this update delivers a couple of useful features i.e. mining cryptocurrency or sending your personal data to some remote server.

Why?, the answer is Why Not!

Sounds an awful lot like a Windows 10 update.
The update's technical page might report only 3 fixes, but that's probably what's new between this one and the last. But it actually includes updates for everything that's been patched since the first OS release.
How far off-base am I?

The missus needed a new bike, so she searched the interwebs for bikes on sale, and found one, of all places, at the Lidl webshop.
So she orders it, and they give a delivery date, so we get someone to house-sit on that day (today), and they call to say that the box has been delivered, so she's going home.
The missus gets home all ready to assemble her bike and give it a trial run...
... And you've probably at least partially guessed what had happened.
They'd delivered a fridge.
Easy mistake to make.
Same size and shape of box... NOT!
