Anyone here watching the WBC??

It has been great, the competitivity, you can see that the players are playing with heart, the fans love it. This has been a success so far. With the exception of the really bad call in the US vs Japan game :no:

Japan had a runner on third who tagged up on a fly ball to left field. After he scored, the manager of the USA appealed to the umps that he left early. At first the umps agreed with the original call, but then was overruled by another ump. A ticky-tack call, but I've seen worse, just ask a Cardinals' fan.

Don't really follow baseball but my dad was rooting for the cubans. I do hate the categories. All the really good teams on one side and the US pretty much alone on the other. I guess I'll root for PR now.

The initial pools were divided up based on geography more than anything else. I think they were pretty evenly spread.

Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, USA and Japan will reach the finals, but the champion will be either Puerto Rico or Dominican Republic.

It looks like Korea is going to beat the US, theres a possibility that neither US or Japan will reach the final.

I am Dominican and I am dying.. My god this too exciting.

This event has exceeded all my expectations but I agree with the person that said the the US got the "easy" teams. Yeah, they have proved they can play but we didn't know that. Although they are getting their butts kicked.

Good luck to everyone.

GO Rep?blica Dominicana!!!!

so PR is out right? meaning if cuba wins, they and DR advance? and US needs to beat mexico to join korea, otherwise japan goes?

if korea wins and us wins tomorrow, then us is in. However, if Japan wins and scores less than 8 runs, the US is out.

      No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!

      Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.

      It's the game developers' fault.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
