Mine (Miele) actually says to close the door completely to reduce the possibility of small children or pets entering. We ignore that bit though.

In case you’re curious, the anti-feature is “tethered network services”, as it relies on a specific download server for maps. That is inherited from it’s progenitor and is planned to be fixed.

The applications before this tribunal have their origin in a social media post insulting Teddy Cook, a transgender man. The post, which among other things refers to Teddy Cook as a woman, has been blocked in Australia as a result of action by the online safety regulator. The person who posted the material and the platform on which it was posted have both challenged the decision of the regulator to issue a removal notice. The broad question to be answered is whether the post meets the statutory definition of cyber-abuse material targeted at an Australian adult. The more focussed question is whether I can be satisfied that the necessary intention to cause serious harm to the subject of the post has been established. Based on the evidence before me, I am not satisfied that it has. Consequently, the decision of the eSafety Commissioner to issue a removal notice is set aside

Even Arch has an interactive installer now, and Endeavour is meant to be Arch with a bulletproof installer as well.

I’ll second the community sidebar search. Almost all of my searches are searching for something from a specific community. Old habits die hard and I always end up navigating to the community, then going to search and finding myself having to search for the community again first.

Nuclear Ghandi was mostly a myth until Civilisation V where it was deliberately programmed in.
Also the concept of an integer wrapping around below it’s minimum value is still integer overflow, just like wrapping above it’s maximum value. Underflow does exist in the context of floating point numbers, when a calculation produces a result too small to represent in the floating point schema.
Buffer overflow is putting more elements into an array than can fit in the array, therefore trying to write beyond the end of an array. They’re a super common form of vulnerability exploit, particularly in older programs written in C. Buffer underflow is when something consuming from a buffer consumes faster than it is filled, and so empties the buffer. I didn’t actually know this term before making this comment.

Solution to grid puzzle
The henchmen’s discussion implies that the letter row and number column both have at least two balls in them (required for “I don’t know, but I know you don’t know)”. Bernard’s statement to Albert makes it clear to Albert that the letter must be either row C or D depending on the number he knows.
If it was row D the answer would still be ambiguous to Bernard so it must be C3 and the ball is gold
