Clearly "Hoofddorp" is not a city but a village
Admin
ah, epic store. it's good to see that besides it being a rushed, buggy pile of crap, it never got any QA either.
Admin
While an unusually hot device can be a good indicator that something is wrong, I find it a little disturbing that "check your box's temperature" is the first troubleshooting step listed. Is your system really that prone to overheating?

Where can this toy line be purchased? I would buy them all for my fristborn child, use the word in the household, and then suddenly stop on their first day of school.
This would serve to set the bar for the amount of confusion, pain, and aggravation that grade school afflicts on kids.

Which came Frist - the toy line or TDWTF Frist commentators?
Admin
Clearly, that toy line is for the kids of the first generation of TDWTF commenters.

I just read about Hoofddorp on Wikipedia. Yes, you are clearly right about it being a 73,000-person village. A "main village", even.
Admin
And what is the Normal temperature the user is supposed to be checking for?
But the WTF here is that the user needs to check that the 'broadband connection is up' and the 'broadband connection is down'.
Admin
UPC user from Poland here. Not sure if they use the same equipment, but... YES.
Admin
Nope, the router isn't overheating. It's the appropriate temperature for electronics on fire.
Admin
That last one seems a little redundant. It's not suitable for fetuses--but what games are??

In fact, I've seen that "maybe" popup on heise.de as well. When digging into it, it was a script loaded by an ad banner that contained an alert that printed the result to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaElement/canPlayType api - which can be "maybe". Don't remember which media type it checked, though.
But honestly, who still does alert debugging in 2019 - console.log is supported by all major browsers and when you forget to remove it, it is not that obtrusive. (On the other hand, having a browser console open catches very funny leftover log messages sometimes...)

I, for one, am relieved to know that someone has a Ph.D. in How to Stop Your Clothes From Smelling of Vaginas, Bum Cracks, and Testicles. I was really worried this was an understudied problem.
Admin
How to Stop Your Clothes From Smelling of Vaginas, Bum Cracks, and Testicles
Somehow I get the feeling that this procedure has nothing to do with the Ph.D.
Admin
"Best practices" is in and of itself an unending source of humour (and frustration).
Admin
73K people is not a village. That's a small city.
Admin
"Seven best practices you've probably never heard of" ... haha, that one was good!
Oyxmoronic link bait is still the best.
Admin
It's dark. Dark in the daytime.

Brian, read the first sentence of the Wikipedia article.

In the Netherlands there's a different distinction between cities and villages. A city is a place that has been granted "city rights" in the past, mostly the right to their own courts. Thus, we have some villages with 100,000 residents, and we have a few cities of only a couple of hundred residents. Hoofddorp is a village. It literally means 'main village'.
