I wish my company were doing something important enough to get outraged by this and I could finally pitch them installing a local server.
Well, that didn’t happen and I was the only one most inconvenienced by it despite not have anything on OneDrive.

He would intentionally sell GPUs to whom he wants to sell them to and then make it look like sabotage to prevent being tried for treason.

Guess what to do next?
Use AI for binary analysis on their proprietary code that potentially opens backdoors in the users system.

I am assuming we all know the obvious, that he was in on it and is now just feigning having gotten Honey Trapped; and are just pretending not to, to make some jokes.

Guess both their payment methods were ill.

The liabilities will be paid for, out of the bill.

The center guy seems like his right arm would be long enough to grab onto the thingy if he didn’t, for some reason, have to pass it from behind his back.

Nice!
Banned it even before it was made.

Just for this comment, I’m doing so.

Yeah, at the time, Seagate Expansion 1.5 TB and 4 TB drives were going bad quite a bit and WD was shipping drives with the USB-SATA non-removable, which meant that damage to the adapter would make the data unrecoverable.
The 2 TB one survived quite a bit and even when I used a bad USB C to USB A adapter and damaged the USB-SATA adapter, I could still recover data and use the drive for a few more years.

Well, I don’t really remember seeing motion blurred pictures.
Only saw motion blur in games, so I guess that part I am not good at.

But last I tried applying motion blur in an image editor (it was Paint.NET iirc), it was pretty unidirectional.

So I zoomed in to make sure and realised there is nothing to make sure, with what the image compression seems to be doing.
And then I zoomed out to normal, then blocked the lower half and looked at the upper half and it looks like it is dropping straight down. Then I blocked the upper half and looked at the lower half and it looks like it is going straight up.

So, I guess you need to be scrolling from down to up to be able to get the illusion of it escalating instead of dropping.

It would be better to use a motion blur instead of gaussian blur.
That way, we would know that the well is going upwards.

I was scrolling down and hadn’t yet read the bottom text and it felt like the well was going downwards.

They try to assert that they do more:

damn it’s becoming hard to extract links from google redirects… This one’s YouTube

Google also adds that you can create fake endpoints for testing, which I think, would be pretty useful in certain cases.

On the other hand, it takes 2 hours to code up a server that would give placeholder responses.
Maybe add another 2 hours to add the ability to read JSON schemas, to let you create endpoint schemas and feed them without having to hardcode endpoints and responses.
And this is in human time terms. If you are using AI, like the people affected by the above change, you can probably whip up your own hardcoded endpoint for each project within minutes.

Rest of it is just sharing of configs and all that bs that all other business focussed applications add.

writing a throwaway script

So instead you install a throwaway program that also adds stuff to your registry? Hehe.

I remember having installed Postman because it was in the installation instructions of Camunda BPMN, just to realise later that I didn’t require that just to make some BPMN diagrams.

And then by the time I actually had to make my own HTTP request, I was already on Linux.

Here’s another:

Thank you all for the detailed report and feedback.

Some context: we bundle the Postman CLI and the agent plugins with the desktop app because many users had trouble installing and wiring them up separately. Installing them together was meant to make that setup easier. We mention this on the download page and in the app update flow, and you can uninstall any of these components from inside the app.

The “downloads” line on our AI agent plugin chart was not going up enough, so we decided to pull a Microsoft.
Since you found out, we are not hiding it any more and will now write it separately on the website, to reduce the PR problem. We haven’t yet implemented the feature that gives you a hard time uninstalling it.

That said, we’ve heard you. We’re going to make the opt-in clearer, especially for existing users, and we’re reviewing the hook approval and session-start behavior you flagged. We’ll post an update in this thread as changes land. We might not get everything right, but we are always listening and improving.

Alright, you called out our trojan horse, so we will now let you decide whether or not to let it in, like Troy actually got to.
And we are looking into how we can still let something slip by. We might still be able to keep some malware in, but if you manage to detect it in the update, we will remove that too, in the next one.

Thanks for the feedback. Locking this issue as I don’t want to encourage ragebait and unnecessary discussion as the original issue is considered closed with the comment from @preethammavin

Locking this issue because too many people are suggesting great alternatives and taking away our sheep, when you have already forced us to undo our changes.

Now I understand why the 100 IQ guy up there is crying.
Because even after you see the literal ‘i’ in between, you will still call them the same.

It’s as if you bought a metric ton of grain just to then complain that is doesn’t match an imperial tonne.

Let’s see someone willing to give you 1024g of gold for the price of 1Kg gold.

Guess I’ll make sure to buy my HDDs packaged during non-leap years.
Oh…SH…Wt… I should have bought them all out over 100 years ago!
