just saw a guy getting an Atari 800XL wrecked by acid battery leak, full of corrosion and rust, with chip legs falling off. He got it restored, booted and played a game on it later.

I wonder why they are sponsoring secse
Is it just for that logo on the top right?
ubuntu is sponsored by that canonical, and that makes sense, but auth0 sponsoring secse? We only have 102 posts that even mention auth0.

I wasn't ever worried about smaller sites getting dropped altogether. Rather they just ignore the smaller sites and focus only on SO.

accepted answer should have more weight (say, +2), and be sorted like the others... so if the accepted answer is at 5 and there's another one at 8, that should be the top one. but if the accepted is 4 and the other is 6, the accepted could be on top.
I've seem non-working accepted answers with +4 and a working one with +20 on SE and that should not happen...

Fun Fact: Logitech believes that fJ\PFuD4KNvLnKFCTcK"ky3k.Q5oKfn/gh/xPzpe;R/UE:CS9.NsEZKt4VvewAZaRTFaqKtuFhq"9pytL,"u7S4'P37pp:_yK7je-KXL3LD2rcTsJow3UTnUWr5sV9/H is an "easy to guess" password
Instead of saying "Passwords have a maximum length of 64 characters", they say passwords above 64 characters are "too easy to guess"
