2/ OLEDs run a pixel refresh when in standby, and when you turn them off this prevents this from happening. I have a Sony, but here’s a video warning against it with an LG OLED: youtu.be/dHwB1IDVzZU After leaving it on stand by over night everything was back to normal!

@Intrepidity I had the same 💪

Today is a "job failed succesfully" kind of day

Isn't having multiple regions meant to stop this type of outage? #azure

1/3 Docker's license changes are perfectly reasonable. However it is disingenuous that they repeat the $5/month price over and over in connection to "professional use in larger companies". $5/month requires each dev to purchase it on their own credit card which is
