    It doesn't say anything about events that take place in the episode though, it's referring to the "previously on" segment.

    If you're intentionally saying it to someone who says they don't want to know, I agree you're an asshole. But expecting posts on the internet to hide that kind of basic information is asinine.

    I don't mean to be rude, but by your logic I could say that a post saying a show is good is a spoiler because I don't want to know anyone's opinion going into it.

    This is not a spoiler, it's such a minor thing and is obvious for a lot of people as it's common knowledge that Gunn has rebooted the DCU.

    It's not like they're professional writers, they are very young and write stories as a hobby pretty much. I wouldn't expect them to know more about the other genre than someone who only reads a specific genre.

    That said, they don't even seem to understand the very basics (something a random person on the street would likely know) and are often unable to make educated guesses about what's going on, which is a bit funny, writer or not.

    Well, that was perfectly OK/legal. But as Ben said, it probably shouldn’t be.

    I doubt it. In the show they talk about hiding at an airport, but mention that if you're getting through security is no longer considered publicly accessible. Restaurants etc are not considered publicly accessible either, it needs to be a place where it's perfectly OK to loiter for several hours.

    Arcane S2 was quite disappointing compared to S1, it had big pacing issues and the main plotline was rushed. It felt like it was carried by it's art style and visuals for the most part. Fallout was definitely the better adaptation this year.

    In Windows it's mostly used for encryption keys for Bitlocker, not DRM. Although that can of course change, that's just how it is today.

    Ozark was good for a bit but it had an awful last season and an even worse ending, so you're not missing much.

    Dropping Succession before/during S2 is crazy to me, I think it's one of the best shows ever made and it absolutely nailed its final season and ending.

    Marvel can get away with that as all of their movies are connected and have been for over a decade, so the average moviegoer is going in expecting their movies to set up another movie to some degree. Sometimes they do it via bigger cliff hangers, sometimes it's just a small reference in an otherwise self-contained movie.

    You do not want any of your top fans to be intakes, that will have a negative effect on the airflow as air will circulate in that area without actually reaching any components.

    You want the front fans to blow cool air into the case, then top and back fans to pull it out. All air moving in the same direction (from the front to the back) is far better than having it go in circles.

    You generally don't want to have any top fans further forward than your CPU cooler either, as that will just pull air out directly from the front fans before it reaches your components as well.

    Fun fact: Arcane is considered canon to the game and any inconsistency in the game will be retconned according to Riot. But as someone who haven't played LoL for over a decade, what was unfaithful?

    unfaithful to the source material it was adapting in some very frustrating ways.

    I only have passkeys on my phone and scan QR codes to sign in to other devices, if that's what you're asking.

    I will say though that our national passkey solution (called BankID) is MUCH easier to use than third-party passkeys (such as Bitwarden, MS authenticator, etc).

    BankID is extremely frictionless, it takes 2 seconds to authenticate. It's actually something I use quite often, at least a few times a week.

    It’s also much easier to set up than other passkey solutions that I’ve seen too, even if you lost your previous passkey. Our banks give us hardware authenticators that we can use as well to authenticate, this is used when set up the passkey if we don't have one already.
