Well, Sid's certainly full of ######, isn't he? At least the show got an upgrade in the end.

 

Sounds like Sid is one of those "it is never my fault" people.  Pay the damn ticket, get a passport.  I haven't flown in a plane for 30 years, but even *I* knew about the new travel laws about some states now require a passport.

So I'm thinking of watching some NJPW stuff now. Cuz WK12 looked awesome as hell. I know NJPW has been doing great work for years now, but man some of those matches looked amazing. And from all the top 10 matches of the year lists out now for 2017 and like, all 3 of the Omega vs. Okada (I think it was Okada) matches are in those lists lol I think Dave Meltzer game one of those matches a 6 star rating out of 5....so yeah good stuff.

Yeah, he went a little overboard with the ratings in 2017; you wait 23 years for another 6* match and then three of them turn up at once (plus a 5.75* match that he probably docked a quarter-star just because Naito was in it instead of Okada). :p

Everyone's still waiting on his ratings for WK12; there's bound to be at least two 5*'s in there.

 

At the very least, we know how big the show was: 34,995 paying fans in attendance and over 43,000 in total at the Tokyo Dome; big jump from the last few years - almost certainly fueled by foreign fans flying in to see Jericho vs. Omega - and the biggest wrestling show in Japan in ~15 years. https://www.f4wonline.com/japan/njpw-wrestle-kingdom-12-draws-34995-paid-tokyo-dome-249246 NJPW World had a hell of a jump, too, going from ~70k to ~95k subscribers in just 2 days for WK12; the same time last year, they went from ~50k to ~60k. And to top it all off for now, they recently announced their first ever shows in Australia.

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
