That "Press F to *" shmeme, where did you exhume it from?

Status: trying to automate the generation of Tizen packages and find this on their SDK page:
The Tizen 2.4 SDK supports the development of Tizen 2.4 applications only.
To develop an application based on the Tizen 2.3 platform, you must use the Tizen 2.3 SDK.Mind you, each SDK is a ~2GB download.

(There is a reason for that prompt, the funeral is an "infinite" cutscene that you can listen to as long as you want, and until you hold X the plot won't advance so you can listen to the other characters at the funeral.)
(Still, NOBODY thought rewriting the prompt to something like, "Press X To Continue Story" might be a good idea? Jesus.)

In the new GW2 expansion there is a similar interaction. Not sure if it's a reference to this or if it's just another case of game devs wearing blinders.

I'm pretty sure it's a reference. Plus,
f
is the all-purpose "do something" button in Guild Wars 2. It can be used to revive people, pick flowers, hit trees with axes, stomp on wasp nests, talk to NPCs, use crafting tables, eat a brownie from a platter...

Many years ago I had a similar thing happen when planning a trip. I booked hotels in two cities, rental cars in those cities, flights, etc. Later that night, my card got declined while buying clothes for the trip at a store a mile from my house and the billing address.
Buy shit in two states totaling in the thousands of dollars in the matter of an hour, no problem. Spend $250 at Kohl's down the road from your house, declined.
-
I, too, found it strange because I've made purchases from these places (Starbucks, Steam, etc) fairly regularly over the past year or so. All from the same stores/IP address. I guess if you hit a certain threshold you get locked no matter what. I never got a call about it, but my mom(!?) did (right after I got declined for the first time), despite only my phone number being associated with my account.
-

Yeah, and that is based on prior spending habits for the most part. If you almost never spend more than $100/day and then go out and spend $5K in a day, I would consider it reasonable for them to think that it could be due to fraudulent activity and try to limit their liability.
As for why you did not get the call and someone else did, who knows? Banks are retarded.
-

Because if your card number was stolen, then obviously they probably mirrored your phone as well, because that's how card thieves roll these days. Instead of stealing stuff, they just copy it.
but seriously, they probably have some policy to not call mobile phones of people whose cards have been flagged just in case the physical card was stolen and the phone was taken with it
despite only my phone number being associated with my account.
You say that like you think it would be difficult for a financial institution to call other people in your life. They could probably contact your best friend from 2nd grade and ask them what the deal is with your spending.
-

Joke's on you, I've never had any friends; much less in the second grade! Take that, BofA!

Except now we know he has a "BofA" bank account, doesn't have any friends, regularly uses StarBucks and Steam, doesn't usually use his card at all, apparently has his mother as a Security Contact (most likely given during opening of the account), and recently exceeded the debit threshold on his account.

12th grade.But today I heard from my colleagues that this particular grade seems to have science problems across the board - it's not just physics, but also chemistry, biology and maths. We also don't change our exams and teaching methods that much from year to year, so currently we're going for "sometimes it's just that way".
Plus, my pupils from the grade below seem to invest more energy - at least they solved two problems today on their own their predecessors couldn't or were not motivated to solve. And they don't seem to be intimidated my mathematical operations like "substitute variable A by this equation: A = B/C"
Oh, well, I won't give up, though :)

Lorne, doing billing review & notes for invoices is taking too long.
Well, since I handle all our existing clients in support, I have 10x as many to do as the PMs, who only deal with the new clients in initial dev (ie: just a single project)
But it's taking so long to do them. Close to two business days. Can we make that shorter?
Well, there's going to be a baseline amount of time it's going to take. Reading the timesheets and turning them into notes-- even under idea circumstances with perfect time entry and readable notes-- like even if it only took 5-10 minutes each, across ~20 clients, that's 2-4 business hours of non-stop work, absolute bare minimum. And we all know half these clients have a huge amount of work involved, so 30-60 minutes is more the norm. And to top it off, I have all my other support work and management to do at the same time. That's where the real delay is.
Maybe we can have one of the other PMs shadow you one period, and see if there's any pointers they can give.
Sure, I don't know what I don't know after all.One shadow session later
Okay, it turns out you're doing them right, and even showed the other PM how to speed up their own work with Excel. So why's it still taking so long?
Volume of work, pure volume of work. If I'm in charge of every customer in support, then I'm in charge of every customer in support.
Is there ANYTHING we can do?
Short of hiring someone to do the timesheets for me-- or maybe integrating our CRM into our Timesheet program using Replicon's API like I've pointed out many times? Nope. Just let me concentrate on getting the timesheets done. We all know each interruption is 15 minutes lost.
Okay, then just put right in the schedule that you're blocked off for the entire first day of each period.Today
Lorne, I got my two timesheets done super fast. Can you review my timesheet notes?15 minutes later
Lorne, can you handle this support case right now and get back to the customer right away?15 minutes later
Lorne, follow up with this dev on this project15 minutes later
:phone: Lorne, a customer has a question about last period's invoice, can you sit in on a phone call to go over every detail of it with them?15 minutes later
Lorne, even though I'm supposed to handle support cases by myself, and even though I have a whole team of people to ask questions of, I'll still bug you over and over with the same stupid stuff that I really should know by now.15 minutes later
How's invoice going?
It's been 5 business hours since I've got them-- our of the projected 8 hours of "just focus on them and get them done in a day". I've managed to do the 6 easy ones-- spending about 30-60 minutes actually doing them, and the other 4.5-5 hours being interrupted. This leaves the 10 difficult ones that'll each take 30-60 minutes to review. That's how it's going.

Caveat: I haven't been able to try it out yet, so I'm not sure exactly what access you need, or if it costs more. But it looks pretty in depth.

Quoted:
How Do I Get It?
If you have any Replicon Cloud solution, the API is included.Hopefully that means Free.
I'm betting it's basically going to be "use the same Ajax calls the primary interface (website) uses"...
