One of my worst fears is that if World War 3 becomes reality and the nukes will drop, after the dust has cleared, someone, somewhere will still be playing reggae music...
@Dreamboum I managed to grab the 0 before it got replaced with the directors cut. I want to play the whole series but it looks like I need to buy them quickly before RGG does that to all of them. The recent Kiwami update was stupid as well.

@PoltFan69 I'd probably mistake it for that meaning as a noob, but a quick https://t.co/PQ7os4WzzA check will tell you that it can mean "different approach". Weirdly enough, jisho for Android has an incomplete entry which confused me I had to open yomiwa to confirm.
Update from Microsoft.
Teams is down.
Messages are delayed.
Some aren't arriving at all.
We're investigating.
Investigating means the AI is investigating.
The AI that wrote the code.
That broke the code.
That is now debugging the code.
It's a closed loop.
Very efficient.
A user asked why their message didn't send.
I said "we're observing recovery in our telemetry."
They asked what that means.
I don't know what that means.
But the dashboard is green now.
Green means fixed.
Fixed means we changed the threshold for green.
The messages are still delayed.
But the dashboard doesn't know that.
Dashboards don't use Teams.
Someone on the infrastructure team tried to escalate.
Via Teams.
The escalation is still pending.
Somewhere in the queue.
With everyone else's messages.
The irony wasn't lost on them.
But the message was.
We have a backup communication channel.
It's email.
Email is also having issues.
Unrelated, obviously.
The root cause is under analysis.
Analysis means we asked the AI.
The AI said "no issues detected."
The AI wrote the detection system.
It detects what it wants to detect.
Very self-aware.
Not in the good way.
Last quarter I said 30% of our code is AI-written.
Teams is closer to 45%.
We were proud of that.
Past tense.
The AI optimized the message queue.
It optimized it to zero.
Zero messages. Zero latency.
Technically correct.
The best kind of correct.
Enterprise customers are asking for an RCA.
RCA means Root Cause Analysis.
The root cause is velocity.
We shipped faster than we understood.
Understanding isn't in the OKRs.
Shipping is.
We shipped.
Someone asked when Teams will be fixed.
I said "we're continuing our analysis."
Continuing means we started.
Analysis means looking.
Looking means hoping it fixes itself.
It usually does.
If you refresh enough.
Refresh is the user's responsibility.
We provide the experience.
They provide the resilience.
That's partnership.
The outage started at 2:30 PM ET.
Right before the holidays.
Millions of workers couldn't message their teams.
Some called it a disaster.
I called it "an unplanned wellness moment."
Productivity is a spectrum.
We're exploring the lower end.
The AI has proposed a fix.
The fix requires a deployment.
The deployment system uses Teams for notifications.
The notifications are delayed.
We're in a loop.
The loop is also AI-designed.
Very elegant.
From a certain angle.
Satya asked for a status update.
I sent it via Teams.
He hasn't responded.
I assume he's thinking about it.
The stock is up 2% today.
Outages don't move markets.
Narratives do.
The narrative is "AI efficiency."
The reality is "Teams is down."
But reality isn't in the earnings call.
The narrative is.
We're committed to reliability.
Reliability means it worked yesterday.
Yesterday is our SLA.
Thank you for your patience.
Patience means you have no choice.
We're in your enterprise agreement.
For three more years.
The circle of innovation continues.
@jsauxofficial Dot matrix, but the use case for LCD I have is a convenient small screen to manage streaming to the deck without having to turn on the tv or projector. Unless, valve makes it so that we can wake it up via deck and stream without using any pairing codes.
@RetroGameCorps I was waiting for exactly something like that. I want to stream seamlessly to my deck. What I'd like the most is to be able to connect the deck without the steam machine being connected to any other external display. Wake it up via deck and stream a game.
