I know how to play but it's tedious, so I wrote a Sudoku solver in Excel
(using VBA). It's more fun to watch the puzzle being solved.

I'm a little surprised at VLH for the above: surely it's rather _more_

follows are "referrer" and "From", with another couple of URLs in there

Not exclusive to computing hardware of course! The last _big_ one I can 
remember is Volkswagen getting _caught_ detecting when their engines 
were undergoing the annual emission tests (as required by most 
countries) and running accordingly, but I'm sure there are myriad 
examples. (Note: not myriad _of_.)

is.gd, the URL shortening service that the OP used, does not provide a
preview mode.  With TinyURL, you can add the "preview" hostname to see
where shortened URL points.  

Well, is.gd does have a preview mode, but it's clumsy.  You go to:

https://is.gd/previews.php

click on the "... see preview page ...", leave the web browser open, and
then click on the shortened URL the OP provided.  Their page then shows
the full original URL and, yep, it has all that crap in it.  Or you can
use on of the URL lengthener sites to reveal the original URL.

I gave the full URL that the *OP* provided with the shortened version.
Complain to the OP about not truncating URLs to their minimum.  If he
had, he would not have needed the URL shortening service.  The full URL:

https://www.pcgamer.com/linux-founder-tells-intel-to-stop-inventing-magic-instructions-and-start-fixing-real-problems/

is perhaps longer than the typical line length viewed in NNTP clients,
but slicing up URLs that are longer than the logical (viewed) line
length by injecting newlines (slicing URLs into multiple physical lines)
is a defect of the sender's client.  Physical lines can be up to 998
characters long (that's the old-time recommendation).  Maybe some NNTP
clients have problems when viewing physical line lengths longer than
their viewable line length making the URL not clickable, and why I've
seen some posters enclose the long URL within angle brackets, like
<URL>, as a workaround for deficient clients.

In any case, I showed the original (full) URL of what the OP used when
they generated the shortened version (well, a short redirection URL).  I
showed the original URL.  I didn't edit what the OP supplied.

Notice the chart showing the huge drop in sales.

I wonder how a car knows a gas sniffer is poking up its ahole.  Oooh,
warm that up first before sticking it in.  I suppose the car's computer
could notice the car wheels weren't rotating when the engine got revved
up and the steering wheel wasn't turning.

My state dropped emissions testing (for consumer vehicles which the
owner had to pay an $8 fee before they could get tabs) a long time ago.
I had a '92 bought used in '94 and kept for 24 years that never required
emission testing.  I still have a '02 bought used in '04 that has never
required emissions testing.  Emissions testing in my state ended back in
Nov 1999.  Six other states don't have emissions testing, either.  Our
requirement ceased after the levels of CO, ozone, and other pollutants
fell below the specs for the federal Clean Air Act; however, some states
are lobbying for stricter emissions control (exceeding EPA guidelines
and becoming more green-centric), so my state might go back to vehicle
testing despite our state has a green light.  Must've been in sub-EPA or
more green-centric states where VW got busted for cheating.

There is a world outside "the states" (-:! Given that that particular 
violation was Diesel engines, and I don't think Diesel cars are that 
popular in the USA, it might well have first come to light somewhere in 
EU. Ironically, the Germans are particularly keen on "green" matters. 
(Though are also rather against nuclear, which is again ironic, as a lot 
of their coal output is a rather dirty variety.)

With some newsreaders, such as my old copy of Agent 2.0, brackets aren't a
workaround for a deficient client. They are simply markers to let the
composition window know that the configured line length value should be
ignored for text between the brackets.

Ah, it's a sender's client trick to prevent line breaks.  Understood. 
In my NNTP client, I don't need to do that for URLs as they kept intact
in one physical line; however, it does have a Word Wrap toggle that I 
can click to insert a composition marker (not in the sent copy) to keep a long string from line wrapping.  I use it occasionally, like for a wide data table where line wrapping makea it unintelligible.  (I used it on this line as an example.)
It keeps the long string as one long physical line.  The reader's client
might enforce line splitting at their configured line length.  Nothing I
can do about that.  My tricks sounds similar to your bracketing trick.

However, I've seen those long strings in a long line include the angle
brackets.  They might be a hint in the composition window in the
sender's client, but they were also included in the sent copy.  As a
test, could you reply with a long string, like 200 characters, enclosed
in your non-wrap markers, so I could see if the submitted copy has the
non-wrap markers or not?

Agreed. When composing a post with a long URL, we use whatever 'trick' or
method that particular client allows or requires in order to override the
configured line length. For me it's angle brackets and for you it could be
the word wrap toggle.

With my client, the angle bracket method only works in specific
circumstances. For example, it seems to require the "http://" string or the
"www." string, and I'm not sure what else. With my client, the angle
brackets become part of the post, and thus travel with the post. In your
case, there's nothing added to the post and thus nothing extra travels with
the post.

Note that some clients don't require any of this, from what I hear. They
simply recognize URLs and do the right thing, not just during composition
but also during subsequent reading, even when URLs are split across lines.
When my client encounters a split URL, it doesn't recognize the entire URL
and requires me to remove the line break(s) and any quote markers. That's
easy to do, but it's not automatic.

>However, I've seen those long strings in a long line include the angle
>brackets.  They might be a hint in the composition window in the
>sender's client, but they were also included in the sent copy.

That's exactly how my client does it. The angle brackets become part of the
message.

>As a
>test, could you reply with a long string, like 200 characters, enclosed
>in your non-wrap markers, so I could see if the submitted copy has the
>non-wrap markers or not?

If it's regular text with spaces and no http:// or www. string, then angle
brackets aren't going to do anything special here. They would just be
included as text in the post. To do your test, I would have to use the left
angle bracket, either of the two URL markers, (there may be others that I
don't know), followed by text without spaces, (for me, a space marks the
end of a URL), ending with a right angle bracket.

Example:
<www.To%20do%20your%20test,%20I%20would%20have%20to%20use%20the%20left%20angle%20bracket,%20either%20of%20the%20two%20URL%20markers,%20(there%20may%20be%20others%20that%20I%20don't%20know),%20followed%20by%20text%20without%20spaces,%20(for%20me,%20a%20space%20marks%20the%20end%20of%20a%20URL),%20ending%20with%20a%20right%20angle%20bracket.>

That should post as a single line, but what happens in anyone's client when
they retrieve and view it is out of my hands.

A bit more complex than that, but basically spotting conditions of the 
standardised tests and switching into an alternate ECU mode

Jump to 57:00 if you just want the money shot, but the whole thing is 
worth a watch ...

That was interesting.  I jumped to the timemark, but decided it was too
much out of context, so I watched it all.  Interesting how the
alternative model was used for most of the driving (underdoses the NH3
to convert NO) but switched to the main model during the conditions of
NEDC testing.  Man, they sure are tricky.  Also interesting is that VW
isn't the only one, but BMW was caught a decade before but managed to
silently alter their model.  Apparently lots of brands do this trickery.
It's almost a requirement for the car to be road-worthy, but still pass
the emission testing for when the car is tested under nothing like road
use of the vehicle.

If you're going to set a test for vehicles, better make it a good test 
because companies will spend a *lot* of money to try and game it ... I 
believe WLTP has now replaced NEDC.

How much did he make off of Linux? 
(I will look, but seems like an amusing fact.)

His net worth is at least 150 million.
And, sorry, I didn't realize this was crossposted.

Some people are too pedantic about crossposting, it's there for a 
purpose. There was nothing wrong with crossposting to those groups, they 
all had something to do with it.
