1. Griffin is physically fine.

2. If one were to go by the definition, when a fighter is not "intelligently defending" oneself, then the fight can be stopped. I know Miragliotta comes off as a big goof but put yourself in his shoes, a fighter takes 4-6 unanswered punches, while not attempting to defend, what's he supposed to do? His job is to, first and foremost, protect the fighters, an early stoppage is better than a late stoppage after a fighter's career is severely hampered after he has to take a year off just to heal. It looked like he had a bad angle, compared to the camera, so he thought it was much worse. I'm not debating whether or not the shots were to the back of the head, that's for another argument. But, cut him some slack.

True say, but, if you notice, the majority of the punches were to the back of the head which makes the stoppage even more stupid. If anything he should have given the guy at least a warning, if not a point deduction!

Oh, right. I was talking about the Spartan with the beard vs Sadollah.

No doubt.

      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".
