Admit it, the only things the Turkish team has are determination, fight and will. Tactically they suck, technically they suck, skill wise they are lacking. All you have is will power, get over yourself.

Ps. They are all the essentially the same since they're all POSITIVE choices.

Not true, Russia don't win with skill. They win because of Guus Hiddink. He's a tactical mastermind. If your looking at skill, then the Dutch should've won hands down. Its because of the tactics and hard work that Russia won.

Yes, Russia won because Guss Hiddink remotely controlled all the Russian players via satellite.

Yes, he is a tactical mastermind, but if the players are not good at executing the tactics, then those tactics are useless. The Russian players played very well and they outplayed the Dutch in every possible way.

Not to mention the arrogance of their head coach. I am starting to think Alfista is the Turkish head coach...

Forget about Turkey, Russia is the team of the tournament. Russia wins all their games not with luck, but with skill.

QFT. Made respect for the Russians. nice to see them have success since the USSR broke up.

Not true, Russia don't win with skill. They win because of Guus Hiddink. He's a tactical mastermind. If your looking at skill, then the Dutch should've won hands down. Its because of the tactics and hard work that Russia won.

Turkey = Luck + Persistence.

Indeed Guus is great. But if your working with chumps, tactics can only get you so far. And skillwise, the Ducth played like **** today. Sad but true. Sneijder is one of my favorite players to watch, and he was a nonfactor all game today.

What the hell...?? This makes no sense at all!! :wacko:

You have to belong to a Football Association to put negative things in a poll!!?? And you don't if it's positive things...? WTF...!!??

Unbelievable. I would expect a person with your age to be down to earth, but your arrogance grows by the day.

By the way, care to make that into a poll here? I can almost see it:

"Am I always right or wrong?" is the question. The options are: "right" and "correct", "spot-on" and "accurate" :p

someone is bitter about Portugal...

well in football you dont only attack.

you defend, you run, you tackle...

Turkey does not play a great football but this game is not about technique and tactic only. there is an incredible determination and a good fight in the pitch.

i never ever saw a team in

World cup. Euro cup. Champions League, Uefa Cup, Libertadores Cup whom had 3 comebacks like Turkey had.

whom scored 3 goals in the last 15 mins to the so called world's best defender?

whom scored a last second goal and won the game against a tournament's host?

whom scored a goal at 122 nd minute while they conceeded 119th minute and the kick off had started a bit over 120th minute?

Turkey succeeded something that no other team succeded before...

If all of you could admit it and stop saying for the last 3 matches that turkey's luck would run over.

Your attitude is the problem (for me), because of your arrogance and mostly your ignorance I just can't stand them anymore. I think Turkey has some great players, I like to see Nihat en Semih among other play for sure, but because you act the way you do Turkey annoys me.

Also, I attribute the Turkish victories in the last minute more to the mentally weaker and not so sharp enemies than pure skills by Turkey and no luck.

Believe me, that's not the case. I'm really ****ed off with Alfista and his arrogant posts. To put a poll with only positive options reveals a complete blind ignorance, not to mention some of his more incredible arguments like the one I quoted.

Hence my suggestion of his new poll, again with all positive options and no negative ones. Get it?

I'm not at a psychological war with you, basically, because I couldn't care less. Nor am I getting tortured when Turkey wins or is my head turning red when they do, I just think the other team is stronger, and if at the end it isn't, so be it. I'm not being angry about it or ****ed or anything. If you think otherwise, please read my posts, I've always said relatively positive things about the team, the only thing we disagree about is whether Arda Turan is the best player at the tournament and whether the victory was lucky or not, which are perfectly fine and defendable opinions. You just have to give that twist...

I guess we'll see how far they'll eventually come. Right now, I, again, don't think Turkey will win against their next opponent, but hey, would it make sense to tell you that? No. You're just going to say I'm jealous or angry again... and so be it.

Suddenly the reason we banned all turkish isp's from our irc server has just come rushing back to me.

Turkey so far have ridden their luck. The game against Germany will be no contest. I wonder how long after the defeat he'll return. Even as a neutral, I want Turkey to lose just to shut him up.

no... i am stuck in front of the computer for the rest of my life.

and my girlfriends are all ciber..

ohhh shoot wait. thats not me.

THATS YOUUU!!!!

Man, no way you're 25. If you are, then you are certainly lacking a proper education... Because no responsible adult behaves the way you do or answers a simple question just like a spoiled kid by simply saying: "No, you are!" (and in caps, no less)

And if you're lying about your age, you are most certainly lying about your profession. No stock broker can be that unprofessional, unintelligent and over-alienating. Any stock broker knows you have to have the right personal qualities and skills: you need to have great comunication skills (which you really don't), you have to know how to work in a team (your arrogant personality takes care of that), you have to be well-organised and well-informed (not only you aren't, but you also make up stories and lie to ensure you win the discussion). But I'll give you that: you really are commited to sucess. Perhaps too much...

when you talk to a child.. you have to get in his/her level for him/her to understand your argument. thats what i did

when someone asks a question such as "do you even have friends" to a stock broker and currency trader over 25+ ages and have been saying that i spent turkey vs croatia game at friends house with my gf... than this is not such as adult question..

so i lowered my level a bit to enter you level of thinking...

i cant see anything wrong with this.. matter of fact. this is very nice of me doing it this way.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      By Copernic · Posted

      Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
