Milestones of fatness: I have just finished a spool of sewing thread that I bought as a teenager.

ztatus: the game servers apparently don't remove the player controller from its list of player controllers when the player disconnects. Must have been code on our side, since it was working fine before...
Is this game in some sort of zunless area? Maybe a zee?

I like to cram a bunch of MP3-s, scanned magazines and random stuff on my phone. I guess a 128GB model would suffice... hmm.
I do the same(-ish: -scans, +ebooks) thing and have a 128GB model. Still wish I could put an SD card in it, as I'm under space pressure anyway.

@Tsaukpaetra my computer has been in a "will restart when outside of active hours" state for about 3 days now.

Apparently it thinks you're still using it or something. Somehow that's working on your computer.
It isn't on this server, because the only way to know a computer is being used is to have an active desktop session, right?

Ah. See, user activity. Even when nothing is happening I often have several threads doing... something.....

I did. Same result: nothing doing more than occasional checks. I'm pretty sure resource manager tracks by chrome process, too, so the matching PID should be correct.
Searching on the googlez at the time also showed several indications that Chrome has had issues with its task manager accurately reflecting what's going on in the background before.

Huh. Well, my (unstated) guess about it being 2-core was right. I'm surprised is so expensive on that CPU though.

Yeah, probably. Most people that do X have died or will die.

Status: Apparently my laptop's battery is ballooning (probably because I treat it as a movable desktop and not a laptop). This is the most likely cause for why I cannot fully close the lid, and some of the keyboard keys are spotty at best. And also the bulge.
FFS, I just had my laptop open.

That should literally never happen. I would consider the laptop a ticking bomb until that battery is removed and disposed of properly.

Do you have a particularly unstable electric supply, or cheap knockoff chargers?
I've had one phone battery go supersized, and I'm convinced it was the dodgy train of cheap charger sockets, extensions and adapters that caused it

Anker. If anything it's too much power. Or shitty charge controllers.

Status: seriously fed up with defects landing on my plate where:
- an error message is slightly different to the one specified in the design documentation,
- it's not a new message and it's always been like that,
- it's been tested before and nobody noticed,
- it's got nothing to do with the change that's actually being tested,
- and nobody gives a damn which version of it is actually used.
In this case it's just about whether or not it ends with a full stop. I mean it's not that it's a hard change to make, but it's bothersome either to get the documentation amended through the requisite waterfall process or to get the trivial change redeployed to the test environment after we thought we had no more changes to make to this piece of work. It's also right at the end of the sprint so we're probably going to miss the goal.
It's just the combination of petty bureaucracy - nobody cares, we're making the call on whether to change code or documentation based on what's easier - with the fact that nobody gave a damn about this kind of precision last time this service was tested.
I guess it's because they used to test entirely manually, and probably didn't notice things like a missing full stop, but now they've got automation and as far as a test for equality is concerned, a discrepancy of one punctuation mark is equivalent to saying the precise opposite of what it was supposed to. So we'll catch all these things now and gradually work them out of the system, but it's really irritating.

Maybe they are paid by the number of defects they find.

@Adynathos No, it's just that things they used to either not notice or ignore when manually comparing a result against a specification now make a box go red and so can't be overlooked.
