Unfortunately it's from The Cursed Child.

The basic moving paintings, like in the great stairwell: The painters infuse magic into them to make them move, make noise, etc. and some even have personality traits. But they're very basic recreations.

The headteacher painting: The subject of the painting infuse the painting with a lot of "themselves" and their magic to basically make a limited copy.

Although as McGonagall says: It's less than half of what they were in life. Which is why they don't actually continue teaching or similar.

Good for her, but I can't take articles serious when they use slam, slamming or slammed repeatedly and and unironically.

Actually caught, or caught with a "ai detection" software?

At least some of the protestors know it's the fault of companies like airbnb and similar, and are advocating for restricting them(which is already in the works and was announced last month). They mostly want to limit the amount of private residences being rented out to tourists, to get more reasonable number of visitors.

The ones running around with water pistols and blaming most things on tourists, don't understand very basic economics. Because while cutting off most tourism might indeed lower housing cost quite a bit. It will also massively lower the demand for jobs, salaries will plummet, etc., because so much of their local economy is tied to tourism. So relatively speaking many wont notice a big difference in percentage of salary spent on housing, if they block most tourism.

Yeah, that was started when Iraq invaded them.

He must’ve said something that threatened the people in power.

If you'd taken a few seconds to open the article, that is explained in the opening sentence.

Here it is for the other lazy people:

Saudi authorities arrested al-Jasser in 2018 and seized his devices, believing that he was behind an X, then known as Twitter, account that documented allegations of corruption within the Saudi royal family

I wonder how many hundreds of millions of dollars they've set aside for settlements.

Their comment was indicating that laptop batteries will be damaged if left plugged in constantly. Which is a thing that can happen with some laptops, and most old ones.

My comment was about how some modern laptops when left plugged in, will charge the battery and then start running directly from the wall-power once the battery is full. They bypass the charging once it is indicated to have a "full charge".

That depends on the age and quality of the laptop. It's been a while since some started directly running off the cable when the battery is full.
