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.

      They themselves used AI slop to convert its C++ codebase to Rust. But I do agree with their concerns.

    • Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs by Usama Jawad Late last year, Microsoft planned to begin the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on certain Windows PCs. However, in March 2026, it disabled this process due to a technical issue and informed customers that it would let them know when it would resume. It seems like that was only a temporary respite, as the Redmond tech giant has started the forced installation of the app on eligible devices. In an update on its Message Center for IT admins, Microsoft has informed customers that it is resuming the automatic installation of the Microsoft 365 Copilot on commercial Windows PCs that have Microsoft 365 apps already installed. What this means is that if you have Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more installed on your Windows PC through a Microsoft 365 license, you'll likely see the Microsoft 365 Copilot app pop up in your Installed Apps section soon, too. Fortunately, IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app. However, phased rollout via feature flags has already begun and is expected to be completed by the end of June: Feature Flag1: started Jun 4, expected to finish June 10 Feature Flag2: expected to start on June 11, expected to finish on June 17 MSGraph schema rollout: expected to start on June 18, expected to finish on June 24 Feature Flag3: expected to start on June 25, expected to complete by July 1st Microsoft hasn't detailed what the process is to toggle the feature flags in its Message Center, and its public support page does not seem to mention it yet either. The Redmond tech giant has encouraged IT admins to let users know beforehand so they aren't caught by surprise to see a new app seemingly installed without manual interaction or their consent. Users who already have the app installed or are based in the European Economic Area (EEA) are unaffected by this move, which Microsoft has understandably flagged as a "major change".
