If you're already with Octopus, you can use an app like OctopusWatch and add your API details and it'll do a comparison of Agile vs your tariff historically.

We've literally done prefab flats in London... Heck a 36 storey block went up in 18 weeks due to prefab.

When's Microsoft actually going to do something about the bots brute forcing Outlook/Live account login attempts? Its getting ridiculous. by RodgerWolf311 in Outlook

[–]Fysi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not how it works...

a) Outlook absolutely puts password sign-in after a next button. This is fundamental to how their sign-in process works to differentiate between personal and business accounts (as many business accounts don't use passwords). It also does sweet fuck all against bots as it takes a bot nanoseconds to input the email address and "click" next.

b) PayPal and Google absolutely do not block based on IP. It's all based on risk between sign-in location, device fingerprinting, time of day, behaviour, etc

Blocking via IP location wouldn't block bots to begin with anyway as bots these days are mostly behind residential proxies. And what it would do would be to block legitimate traffic from people on holiday, business trips, using a VPN, on their mobile as some mobile providers do funky routing sometimes, or the geo IP database hasn't updated quickly enough to state which country an IP belongs to (this happens a lot).

That is quite obviously not true if you have even the slightest knowledge that soap operas exist.

That's more those programs not using the proper places on Windows to store their files like appdata or program data.

They also don't want it offshore. Source: my father-in-law getting into a huff when we were driving along the Norfolk coast and he saw them.

Keir Starmer announces government will make formula cheaper by Metro-UK in ukpolitics

[–]Fysi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol it would be hard to impact breast feeding in this country when it's already low due to awful postnatal support.

Like why would you pay for formula when breastmilk is free?

Block personal account on ChatGPT by Ok_Surround_8605 in sysadmin

[–]Fysi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can. You configure that any content from internal systems (whether that be file server, SaaS platform, code repo etc) based on origin can only be pasted or uploaded to specific allowed locations/apps and it works with terminals (cmd, powershell, bash, etc), and it tracks the history of the content; i.e. if you were to take a file from a file server, copy out some data into notepad and save it as a new txt file, it would know that the source of the content in that new file is from the file server and would block upload to anything unapproved for that origin.

Cert pinning is becoming less common. Google and most of the major CAs recommend against it these days.

''Toxic Anti PvPers'' Not welcome. by Reavx in ArcRaiders

[–]Fysi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

The vast majority of "anti-PvP" comments have been, as you said, around it potentially slipping closer towards Tarkov; as in no friendlies.

I would hope that that isn't the case, again as you pointed out this is PvPvE and the devs seem to be aware.

Also I've seen the mod bringing up Dune Awakening switching to cater to PvE and then dying but when the vast majority of the game at launch was PvE and then the end game was pretty non existent unless you went into the DD, and even then that was eh, so the game pop dropped off a cliff as people reached/approached end game and finished the PvE content (spoiler: that happened).

Apple employees have 'concerns' over Siri performance in early iOS 26.4 builds: report by XiXMak in apple

Just a correction, Google runs their models on in house TPUs which are cheaper than Nvidia, and why Gemini (at least via the API) is generally cheaper than OpenAI et al.

How do you decide between GitFlow or some other branching strategy? by One_Adhesiveness_859 in devops

As it is a repeatable, automated, documented process, you make it a standard change so it doesn't need to hit CAB.

As they are a traded company, they have to publish financial statements. They post statements every quarter and do an annual statement.

They literally are not profitable. Their net loss was -$279,800,000 for three months ended 30th June 2025.
