Status: Oh Fuck off, Windows Defender!
This again?!?!
Is it scanning its own quarantine?
Basically. Not only is it a false positive, but it's a false positive that never goes away, as it extracts the "offending" file into another bin to analyse it, quarantines that again, and loops.

Status: We need more performance. As usual. Late Friday afternoon I decided a certain linked list (mostly, but not strictly, a tail queue) was definitely part of the problem and needed replacing. But I'm not sure what with and that hasn't left me alone.
I'd go with a plain old array but the thing is theoretically unbounded...

@heterodox I'll bet the 7-Zip portable edition would work just fine though.
Not allowed.
They allow you to use flash drives but not 7-Zip PE?
Or is your F: drive a network drive?

@Tsaukpaetra that is correct, but I'm more inclined to blame Windows for the dumb way it handles drag-and-drop.
The reason for that is you could be dragging to a WebDAV folder, or any other number of shell extension points someone's installed that aren't really folders natively. 7-Zip could handle the common case though if it really wanted to. :/
Maybe, if they installed a driver that transparently behaved like an uncompressed volume for Windows to read the files from... but that would definitely require elevating the process. But shit, even if Windows could just figure out that the source and destination are on the same physical volume and move them instead of copying them, it'd be a ton faster.
And 7-Zip does offer a workaround for the common case: put it in 2-panel view, or open a second 7-Zip window, and browse to the destination folder in that window, so that you can drag and drop from 7-Zip to 7-Zip. Then it doesn't make temporary files. And yeah, I just tried it; it works.

Status: The "Every Device Is A Phone" brainworm has infected Pandora. My music homepage now has a gigantic scrolling array of humongous station "tiles" that I have to scroll 15 ways from Sunday to look through and find what I want, instead of the simple text list that all easily fit without scrolling on a 1920x1080 screen.

Status: Wordpress, why you gotta be so terrible? Why is there no way to force you to load everything via HTTPS that doesn't require editing .htaccess? I'm trying to host a quick dev site for someone over my home Internet and port 80 is 100% blocked by my ISP while 443 is not, and because you're retarded and keep redirecting port 443 requests back to port 80, I can't actually host a Wordpress test site.

Or you can just not drag and drop, click Extract instead, and browse/tell it the path you want...?
Anyway, IMO it should be up to the application to handle these things; it's a few more lines of code (from what I can recall) and you don't really want more OS overhead.

Sure, that works too.

When you're dragging and dropping things from one application to another, though, you have to put them into a format that both applications understand. In this case, it means putting physical files somewhere that Explorer can access them.

Today I wanted to buy another stamp worth 0.70€. The only payment option listed: The prepaid wallet. No notice anywhere as to why.
So I contacted the guys via Facebook (because on FB they actually replied within minutes).
Their first answer: "Well, we're blocking your credit card after you've used it twice within 24 hours."All the top criminals launder stolen credit cards by buying one stamp at a time.

OH MY GOD. The Windows 10 "Groove Music" app actually has a setting to hide all the stuff related to their online music pass and use it as a normal local player .
Should we have an anti-WTFs thread? For when you're actually surprised by a good design decision?

That's supposed to have the album you're playing. Guess your songs aren't in an album.
Well, for some reason when I try to play any song it seems to add that song, the album, and
15 different random albumsevery single song I hav. And there's no way to clear it. Wow. So there's literally no way to play a single song.

Finally fixed the bad RAM issue with my computer.
By chucking it in the car, dragging it to a friend's house (so I could drink beer off his taps while running memtest 24+ times) and plugging it back in.
Everything worked fine.

Sometimes it's not the blowing that fixed the cartridge, it was the man handling and repetitive reinsertions that did it.

They don't seem to have any effect. Oh well.
Status: Being annoyed that they activated the service upon ordering, rather than waiting for the device to arrive and get activated by myself. Purportedly this is to allow me instant access to services as soon as I get it, but I'm not sure if five minutes spent on an activation hotline is worth a week of unavailable service. This bodes well...

Wouldn't those be in a service anyway, and not running as the kernel? The only thing I know of that the kernel needs to access the disk for after the system is booted is swapping.

status went to my mother-in-law's choir's Christmas concert today.
Before singing "Silent Night", the choir director told of the urban legends behind the song's creation. He mentioned Germany.
To which someone in the audience piped up "Um, actually, Austria..."
That person was a 90 year old woman.
But it's the millenials sense of self-righteousness we need to worry about.

Seems all asynchronious I/Os will be counted against "System" process for CPU time.
And btw, I'll run autoruns.exe to check for any suspicious entries before reboot in such case.
