Windows updating just before thesis defense
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but "cancel" is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.

Mo Validation Mo Problems
Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.

You can have anything you wan...
My head canon is that Tony Stark has a superpower: everything he builds works the first time.
If it's really complicated, like an entirely new Iron Man suit, then it might malfunction once in an amusing way. Then he tightens a screw and it's perfect. It never fails outright or bricks itself.
In my experience, this is not how hardware or software development goes. I want this power so much.

California did file a lawsuit, and won, though the ruling came too late to do much good.

Fascist Paramilitary surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot, fired at her windshield, and dragged her out as she screamed that her children were inside the car. [Aurora, IL]
Weapon is visible at 0:06, appears to be a paintball gun. Unclear if it's pepper balls or something else.
Still illegal use of force, but thank goodness it's not bullets.

The sign in the right says "bees", but the picture shows a creature with eight legs, two body segments, and no wings. That's no bee, that's a spider!

Headline is misleading. The Nokia hardware worked fine; it's the host vehicle from Intuitive Machines that tipped over and ran out of power.
