Phen

A Media company owned by Telefonica.

I once worked for one of the largest media companies in my country and there was a project where they wanted to replace reCaptcha with a partner's system that made users watch ads and ask a question about the ad instead of typing some hard to read text.

Testing such system, I quickly realized that the captcha part of it could easily be bypassed by anyone with minimal JS knowledge (the answer was available in a global JS var), but the answer would not be accepted by the server unless the entirety of the ad video had been successfully streamed to the video component.

I still remember clearly the response I got when I reported to the PO that the system was unfit due to being easily bypassed with JS:

"no user is gonna be coding anything just to avoid typing the answer on the input".

Shouldn't have expected much more from the same company that had me wait for the responsible person to get back from their 1-month vacation when I reported that their customers' full credit card information was included in the output of a publicly available URL that only required an order ID.

But I later found out that most orders in that particular project were actually made by bots with stolen credit card information (the bots would use this company's shopping cart to validate which cards were still working so they could use it for something useful afterwards). In the end we were mostly just leaking information that had already been leaked before.

I've recently reorganized my office, adding extra 4k screens in the process and I was surprised at how many "modern" stuff just barely supports large resolutions if at all. Even some of the monitors themselves only support 4k resolution at 60Hz in one specific HDMI port. Most computers here also only had one HDMI port and so I needed adapters to be able to use the second Monitor's good port, but then most adapters also couldn't reach 4k 60Hz.

Going online to buy better adapters, they all try to hide the fact that they can't handle HDMI 2.0 and advertise as being 4k compatible with no mention of the refresh rate. I ended up having to order from out of state to be sure it would work, then wait for over a week for delivery.

Title exaggerates it a bit: the character was not necessarily minor, they made it open ended from the start so they could decide later if it would be a character worth expanding or not.

Considering this is America, it might be easier to make Costco cards official.

Tried making a joke here before reading more about it and now I regret the joke so I edited this out.

If they couldn't tell, the bots would get banned sometimes.

I had them plugged on the switch itself that was sitting on its dock, plus other joycons in a drawer.

Zoro will get flipped, but won't be controlled by Imu. He'll get the powers of a demon without the drawbacks. In an epic doublepage he'll mirror Usopp's line against Perona and say: "I am always a Demon".

That will prove to be the key to defeating Imu, as he'll think Zoro is a black piece due to being flipped, but he'll be acting as a white piece and pteventing others from flipping instead. That will prove to be what was needed all along, this one piece. Which Luffy has had from the very beginning.

Nintendo fan surprised to have been surprised in a positive way.

Back when I used to play on the switch every day for several hours, I never had any issue at all with drifting. Several years later as I played less often, it started happening. Then when I didn't play for nearly a year, once I tried it again all of my joycons were unusable.

In the early years if was really confusing to me why everybody complained about it so much and I never had any issue, but it eventually caught up with me too. I just don't know if my anecdote is a coincidence or if it really is more likely to drift when you don't use it as much.

That's why I started with "in that regard"
