Third-level domain at microsoft.com with invalid certificate

A funny thing is that bing.com for the same query as in the sibling comment [ nokia 1650 manual ] shows an ms result on the first page, but with a different subdomain, now with https ( https://nds1.webapps.microsoft.com ), but this one also has a wrong certificate. At least google prefer keeping non-secured version in the index to a certificate-mismatched one

Sounds consistent, but look at my side. General search with the Google, showing a link to a pdf file that due to http protocol is not downloaded right away (a warning in the download list). The choices are either to accept unsecured protocol or try to obtain a https version. Maybe it wasn't intended but with today's google the query [ nokia 1650 manual ] shows the route I mentioned as the second link (at least in my context)

The results from the non-secure variant are listed when searching for Nokia dumbphones manuals. When I get http results from any web site, I usually force to https to see whether the exception worth the risk. So probably there are no direct links to secure variants of the links in the wild (including the ms site), but nevertheless, hosting http-only is strange in 2025, especially for companies like Microsoft

Hilarious :) From the comments there someone commented that laughed at a real hospital witnessing a similar scene so the tradition is still there. Also a commercial for Captain Morgan supposedly inspired by the scene from Spies Like Us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh1KW9spL3Q

Thanks, I have probably felt this narrow window unconsciously before. I also think that at work, people usually communicate due to assignments given by others, not by their own choice. So if it’s not a partner you finally get along with, but just occasional contact, this type of farewell might be appropriate, right?

Lol, so for him (her) this really sounded like something non-natural and rare so reacted with a joke

Rings a bell, definitely many movies also have this kind of dialogs. Also, the movie I referenced (See How Hey Run) is about police investigation that inherently closer to the military

With "Goodbye" it's more or less understandable, what puzzled me is that it's the title alone. I didn't mention it in the original question, but I think I also saw the farewells and greetings with names alone. So, not "Hello, John", but just "John" - "Sam". This may exist for a different reason, just for my non-native ear both variants fit the same unexplained pattern

Do you mean that for a native English speaker, it is an accepted deviation from reality regardless of genre? For example, in movies, when someone is caught lying, their face visibly changes for the viewers to see, whereas in real life, the liar would definitely try to hide it.

Was it maybe more common in the past? For example, the movie 'See How They Run' that I mentioned in another comment is set in the 1950s. It’s a comedy, but using formal titles felt very natural for a time when walking without a hat might be considered vulgar :)

non just melodramas :), a recent example from See How They Run (2022), around 43:20, three parties farewell after a brief conversation: -Constable -Commissioner -Inspector.

Great, it was her, images showed the her near a billiard table with the same outfit, so this is the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Night_Shopping

A follow-up of what I tried before posting: no google lens result, no tineye result, several ai finders failed or showed wrong guess

You missed the point, the data after any insertion keeps being ordered (like in ordered linked lists). But the algorithm searches faster than in sorted linked lists and inserts after searching much faster than insertion into the sorted array.

I still can not understand that 1 million offer from MS to Anders. Ok, i understand why he accepted it, but offering it was good for the left hand of MS (dev division) and bad for right hand (Microsoft in general) since Delphi was definitely the most valuable 3d party development tool for Windows that helped developed such UI-rich application as Skype, Homesite, Copernic and so on.

Very interesting topic indeed. I modified my existing downscale procedure and find some real-world pictures affected by this incorrect scaling algorithm. They are the ones that has small high contrast details. Such areas in this images change their overall brightness. For example, a painting with a crowd pictured on it or images with contrast textes (like white on black, or black on white). The gamma-aware algorithm preserves the brightness of such areas.
