The International 2026 - Grand Final Day

I wanted Vision to win, so sad for Noone.

That Bane save on LS was clutch, but there's one point I have not seen mentioned. In that very last fight, Juggernaut got hit by an arrow that wasn't even aimed at him, under full vision and from across the map, which ultimately ended up in Jugg's and Axe's (who was trying to save him) dieback; perhaps they could have defended a bit longer if not for that. I think Satanic was not there mentally, and we saw that in the player's camera, with Satanic having a mini-mental breakdown, while Yatoro was simply laughing and enjoying the game.

My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help

Story time: I once saw a betting page claiming to give away free Dota 2 skins. I wanted to take a chance, but smelled the sketchyness, so I logged in with a secondary account that I used that only had a free NSFW game.

Unexpectedly, after I logged in, they inmediately changed the password and the email associated, and probably tried to steal any skin I had; since this secondary account had none, I didn't lose anything.

I contacted Steam support, told them what happened with proof that I'm the owner of the previous email. They verified the situation, and I had my account back less than 48 hours after being "scammed". All of this in an account that literally only had a free porn game.

The massive difference between and what your friend is dealing with Microshit is crazy.

I had a neighbour friend who was not a mortician but embalmed his own wife.

I was very close to either dying or having permanent brain damage due to a stun grenade in a protest in my country. While being a completely unarmed, non-violent and basically running away/hiding protestor.

I was with a friend and a bunch of people outside our campus. Everything was peaceful and then, out of nowhere things got bad, with stun grenades and tear gas everywhere. We were used to it, but that time the tear gas was so bad that the neutralizer we brought was doing nothing. We took cover with a wall (bad idea, but we were panicking badly), and I wasn't able to breath, so I wanted us to run away from there. I told my friend to let's just run certain way, and I was so full of adrenaline and ready to run, but he stopped me. 1 second later, a stun grenade fell from the sky just 1 m away of us, in the direction I wanted us to run; no doubt it would have hit me in the head.

After that I just took his hand and we ran away, not able to see nor breath. Me holding his hand was a huge saver for both of us, as we could, more or less, guide each other. We ran some 20-30 m and just fell to the ground, but in a somewhat safe place. We crawled some 10 m more and just rest there. It took us some solid 15 minutes to catch our breath. Never said a word to my family about the whole incident.

Fun times.

Far-right millionaire wins Colombia’s razor-tight presidential election

Colombian here, I can give some context, at least from my perspective.

Current president is Petro, a left wing president. Cepeda is the candidate from there same party. Abelardo is the far right candidato that won.

Petro has done an awful job. I'll add some examples in a comment. Cepeda seems better than Petro, but lacks criticism against him, so people add Petro's shortcommings into Cepeda's candidature.

On the other hand Abelardo got sold as an outsider to the classical politics, as he came out of nowhere, and 1 year ago nobody knew who he was. He's actually been an ally of Uribe (our most controversial president in recent history; far right as well) and the traditional right, just simply not as involved in politics. He also got his fortune by defending and being an ally of criminals (think an IRL Saul Goodman). He's beyond awful and like OP said, a genuine scumbag (e.g., in an interview, he laughed while remembering how he used kill cats with explosives).

Some people were gonna vote against Petro no matter what. Some people really ate the lies that Abelardo, a man that got his fortune by allying with criminals, will fight really hard against criminals. Some people think both candidates were awful, and had to choose the least awful of both of them. And that's how we got him as our next president.

MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing

This is happening at my company. They gave us 6 months to build an AI-tool to replace a non-AI tool that has been very well built and tested for 6 years, and works perfectly well. The AI tool has some very amazing features, but it could never replace the good old tool.

The idiot in charge of the project has such a bad vision on the tool, yet likes to overhype it and oversell it so much.
