If you pay off your credit card balance and then close your account at $0, @BankofAmerica will hold your account open until the point in the billing cycle they can charge you interest. on the balance you already paid off.

I would like to congratulate @BankofAmerica for their successful deployment of quantum computers in the financial sector, where credit card accounts can be in superposition of open and closed, $0 balance and non-0 balance.

Pro tip: if you use @Chase make sure you do NOT use paperless statements. They only allow you digital access to 2 years of transaction history and 7 years of statements. If you need information older than that. .

I've been using (and programming) Windows as my primary OS for 30 years now because I've never had a compelling reason to sacrifice the level of convenience when all the apps are on Windows. This is a compelling reason.

A step in the right direction, but not yet enough. It needs to be FULLY UNINSTALLABLE. As a software and cyber-security engineer I will not feel safe having Windows with the Recall feature (the code itself, even "disabled") on my system AT ALL. @Microsoft.

Okay, that's just bizarre. I tried it one more time, but accidentally copied and pasted the quotes around the question. It answered that. But when I removed the quotes, it again terminated the conversation.

Why does MS Copilot (via Edge) always terminate the conversation and say "It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let's start over." when I ask "What are dueling electors?" (and only that specific question), even when it's the first question of a conversation?@MicrosoftHelps.

I wonder if this counts as an exception that would allow me to switch to another provider outside open enrollment.

I can't say it's an encouraging start to my #KaiserPermanente coverage that in response to the very first thing I did under that coverage I had to file a grievance to try to get them to honor their own stated policies.

Okay, @Microsoft, it's been 1 week since KB5034441 was released. Why is error 80070643 not fixed yet? No normal person is going to do this.

Hey, @Dell I keep trying to buy one of your laptops but it keeps giving me "We encountered an error while adding this product to your cart. In some cases you may resolve this issue by removing another item in your cart to free up space." Do you not want my money or what?.

You know what would be amazing? If @YouTube calculated ReplayGain values for all its videos and ads and normalized them on playback.

Any of the Twitterati able to identify this "music" track that was added in EarthBound Beginnings (not in Mother) and tell me where it's used? Warning: it's similar to 2 other tracks but different. #EarthBound #EarthBoundBeginnings #EarthBoundZero.

So I created a repository for my retro game docs. Only the stuff I'm publishing publicly, so it's starting from a cache of 1, but it'll grow as I clean up and release more stuff.

Sunsoft has 3 engines as well. An early extremely simple one, the one used from Madoola (I think, off the top of my head) to Fester's Quest, and the third from Batman onward.

E.g. Capcom has 3 sound engines (apart from a few outsourced games). The first was used by a handful like Commando, the second was used by many including Mega Man 1 and 2, the third used by many including Mega Man 3+.

Twitter should be offering free psychiatric services for employees traumatized by the prospects of Musk taking over the company.

Just watched tonight's @BlueBloods_CBS. I was very surprised to not see the rape by deception issue come up. Getting "consensual" sex because your partner thinks you're someone you're not is rape. Is this not the law in NYC?.
