What was the item?

Funnily enough, I've run into long time eBay sellers that don't seem to realize this, either (assuming they're not just lying). I've given neutral feedback to people that complained about how I was jeopardizing their shop by ruining their 100% positive feedback rating, and I have to explicitly point out that their rating was unchanged.

> Note that they’ve sold so much that even 1k neutral ratings are barely registering - they have “100% positive feedback”

I'm pretty sure eBay's neutral ratings never impact the positive feedback rate regardless of how many you get.

It's the digital equivalent of Morty speaking with the death crystal: https://youtu.be/YjepJlvkdKs?t=51. The crystal shows him how he will die, so he iteratively determines his speech based on whether he sees himself dying with the life he wants.

Link to the video for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vsTqNwHquE . I would note the bot is not APM limited, and comments suggest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vsTqNwHquE&lc=UgxBrY4CkuZx7... , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vsTqNwHquE&lc=UgyZ0XVFDqzJT...) it's likely using map hacks, both of which make the bot significantly less impressive.

A lot of monitoring software defaults to displaying hardware temperatures in Celsius regardless of the locale, and I've gotten so accustomed to knowing what a reasonable temperature is for different components that I personally never change the display units.

That would be a legal nightmare. They don't necessarily know what customers' data residency requirements are.

Yes. Most cloud provider bill based on wall clock time rather than core time, so you don't get a discount for the machines being idle.

I have uBlock installed, and I got an overlay wanting me to enter my email address to read the article.

Because you become responsible for feeding and taking said care of horse and dealing with any technical debt associated with it. If someone submits code to a project that I maintain that's going to make my life difficult in the future, I'm not going to accept it.

Just because something isn't perfect doesn't mean it's not useful. I've already seen posts online that were able to be proven as falsified because someone ran the images through Google for SynthID checks.

> How old is photoshop and why is it exempt?

For one, it's not developed by Google or OpenAI. The barrier to entry to making realistic but deceptive images with Photoshop is far higher than with AI, and there are already techniques that can, imperfectly, be used to detect the use of traditional image editing.
