My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.
It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.

Most notable thing about this game was it was one of the first to launch with FSR3 frame generation. Other than that I think I’d have completely forgotten about it.
I had a feeling it was going to be 8/256 when it when ‘business owners’ were described as one of the key user types. It’s the laptop the IT department can give to management that’s got a pro sticker on it, without having to give them something over powered. It’s a vanity thing. Actual pro’s will get something better, everyone else is probably better off with an Air.
A 40% rise in Apple TV+ in one year?? It was already on the ‘sub when a series finishes, watch and cancel’ list, but I’d been letting it slide since there were a few shows I was enjoying. This will put it back to just a couple of months a year.
Apple already has their own thing for this https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/
Yeah. There must be tons of places that would choose Slack, or another alternative, over Teams if they weren’t getting Teams bundled into a piece they were already paying.
Plus all the energy used in developing the feature in the first place. What a crock.
Good, as a UK resident I hope Apple, Signal, even WhatsApp stick to their guns over this issue. It’s the only way it will gain any traction with the public.
I wish they would offer an option without YT Music. I’m happy to pay for YouTube without adverts, but it annoys me that I’m paying for a music service that I don’t use and I reckon they only bundle it in to fluff the subscriber numbers for the service.
I won’t be at all surprised if Threads is not much more than a skin over the instagram backend, which would lead to these kind of outcomes. Folks like the think of a sinister reason, but I reckon a technical one is more likely.
This is something the EU got right by limiting interchange fees to 0.5% rather than the 3%+ in the US. It stopped companies charging consumers extra for credit transactions and also stopped weird outcomes where airlines and hotel companies became more interested in their branded credit cards than in providing an actual service.
In my experience Office 365 is even harder to deliver to. The email envelope can be in perfect shape and sent via sendgrid (their recommended partner) and it will still silently drop mails for no obvious reason and if it does deign to deliver them it will often mark them junk.
I’m only sending low volume transactional emails. The amount of time I have to spend tweaking the email content just to persuade Microsoft to deliver the mail is absurd.
An overblown issue, but this reversal of the video is a way better advert IMO https://x.com/rezawrecktion/status/1788211832936861950
