If everyone resets, and their memory is retained, then perhaps less would change than you’d expect. For example, if you wanted to organise an event for the following day (ie today, but again), then it’s still possible to plan. In which case, many things about life actually stay the same. Only the physicality of things actually change. For people not already suffering, it’s actually a great mechanism for freedom, since the shackles of money, food, health etc are no longer a concern.

Legit great post. Niche error, with potential fixes. Almost unheard of in the modern web.

Relentless. If she could get inside you, she would.

I expect you’re right

Saw this quote somewhere recently and have been looking forward to using it, but “You’re the colonists. We’re the ones that stayed here”.

Yeah it was, but goddamn I really wanted that Alien vs Predator game.

Yeah fuck it, let’s not bother gaining any more understanding of human biological function. Shut down the labs boys, we’re done here.

UK here. Quite a rural area in the mid-90s, and worlds away from US gun culture, but one time our school was playing rugby against another rival school and a lad brought in a .22 air rifle and shot one of their players in the ass from the edge of the pitch. It was hilarious for those not involved, kid got a telling off and may have been briefly suspended, but thinking about how that would have been reported these days it would probably have caused national outrage.

I am. And this amounts to selective censorship.

I don’t think there is one. The Impressia app (iOS) does though.

Apple TV Movie Bundles (self.apple_enthusiast)

Anyone know how long specific bundles are available to purchase on Apple TV? Do they change monthly or something, or would a specific bundle be perpetually available to buy?

Lost in translation (self.programming)

Just had some requirements through for a query that a customer has specified.

“Set the value to 1 if the Outcome is not Complete or Cancelled or NULL”

This could be variously interpreted as: 

“if the Outcome is NOT Complete and NOT Cancelled and NOT NULL”

Or “if the Outcome is NOT Complete, and NOT Cancelled, or IS NULL”

Or perhaps even “if the Outcome is NOT ‘Complete or Cancelled’ or IS NULL”

Obviously I’ll go back to them for clarity, but it’s a wonder why so often “bugs” arise based on interpretation of specifications.

"Hacked" Instagram (self.nostupidquestions)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Quicky to c/nostupidquestions
 

My other half discovered that some dodgy person/company had managed to send instagram messages advertising handbags to all of her followers from her account. She changed her password immediately, but what could have happened here? Is it the case that a “hacker” had access to her full instagram account, or would they have used some tool that allows posting of messages via some kind of proxy without requiring access to her actual account? There was no record of other logged in devices on the security page of her account.

Update: She’s just been through her junk email folder and found a “We’ve noticed a new login” email from instagram yesterday, so I presume that means they were fully in to the account then. How they got the password is anyone’s guess, but could be any of the suggestions below. Thanks all for the responses.

The Delta emulator is absolutely superb, particularly given that it’s free with no ads, a rarity on iOS. I’ve barely stopped playing DS games since I downloaded it. My other half is dying to have a go on her phone, but I’ve not had an Android device for ages. Has anyone got any recommendations for equivalent Android DS emulators that are free/ad-free, simple to use, and hopefully as polished as Delta that I can send her way?

I bought one thing from Wayfair and got nine emails about it over the course of four days.
