EF decides I have properties, for example a Widget class in an entry and if there's no FK it creates a WidgetId property. This despite were Posgress (all lower case) and we say Key instead of Id. I know of no way to modify or configure this feature and asked how to turn it off. I was asked for a code sample, I said no, this is a general EF feature and I want to turn it off. I got told they can't help without a specific code sample, and they turned my question off!!!!
To be clear this happens even with auto generated code and is ALWAYS WRONG. I am happy to have an issue I need to sort out to access one property, based on auto generated nonsense, but I don't want NO ACCESS to a table because it will always invent columns in the SQL that I never claimed to exist.

I gave this a go (have not played for ages).
I have a standard sequence of words. First - 2 letters. Second and third - nothing. Fourth - two letters. It was then I realised that high contrast was not on, and I thought my letters were in the correct place because I am color blind. Got it in the fifth

I almost used the phrase "python mating ball[^]" instead of "morass", but I knew my audience wouldn't get it.

Please tell me others did as well so I know I'm not an AI and hallucinating.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I did too. This was especially amazing given that I had to do a "refresh Windows from install media" yesterday before I left due to a botched set of Windows Updates vetted by our IT gestapo. I expected to come in this morning and have my machine be a cold moldering corpse.

I know some of you are avid GTAO players (Grand Theft Auto Online).
Last week Rockstar (aka R*, makers of the GTA series) pushed out a patch that included the much-maligned BattlEye software, which (in short) is intended to prevent cheating and third-party mods. They're probably better at it than R* ever was.
For years, R* has pushed out updates that try to mitigate said cheating and modding; it's been mostly a futile cat and mouse game. And it's only now that they've decided to start relying on a third-party to take care of that for them.
And the modders ain't happy. Don't get me wrong, they've managed to tweak their mods in very little time so they work again, but they're still unhappy and they've decided to take it a step further.
Since then, R*'s servers have been the target of DDoS attacks on an on-and-off basis. R*'s own service status page doesn't show it (most of the time I check), but this page shows reported outages and shows definite spikes. I've experienced these outages myself...the game launches, but you can only go into story mode (which is completely offline); the whole online side of it is unavailable as it fails to log you in.
The game's now over a decade old, yet still generates over half a billion dollars a year for them (according to multiple sources). If these outages annoy enough players, this is bound to start affecting them financially sooner or later.
I'm really curious at this point to see who's gonna blink first.

It's bizarre to me.
Amongst all that you mention the stupid BattleEye thing pretty much killed all Linux and Steamdeck play overnight.
That probably wasn't a huge percentage but it wasn't nothing or I wouldn't have heard about it.
They probably flushed quite a bit of yearly revenue just doing that, none of those folks will spend anymore.
OTOH, these games tend to be overrun with hackers and cheaters shortly after release. Only now a decade later it has become a problem?
But R* is crazy anyway. I spent an hour with some younger modders looking at some things for them. Was blown away by the whole json-everywhere. Didn't expect to even see it because it'd be terrible in context. Driving screws with a hammer.
Oh, it was though. It was. In fact it was even worse because they messed it up. Fixing it after GTA had been out for like 5 years cut their load times by like 70%.

"I can't continue because I can't install this CD on my laptop."
A phrase uttered just yesterday by a coworker.
I bought a serial-to-USB adapter for him to connect his laptop to a scale, but the driver came on a CD and wasn't available on the internet.
Just packed my external CD player from home so he can continue on Friday.
Takes you back some 15 years
