Pocket is one of my favourite apps, I use daily.
Mozilla bought them years back.
Now Mozilla is shutting them down.

Sigh.

Just my mobile operator, sending me an OTP… I’m sure this is fine…

Me: "I shall achieve XYZ this holiday period"

Life: "here's probably the worst, most life changing, thing you could go through (on Christmas Eve + Christmas Day)"

Every time I accidentally click a Xhitter link and check my notifications... despite all the clicking on "See less often".

Desperate much?

And... I made a War2 Remastered multiplayer map hack

First screenshot is me typing "on screen" (fog of war cheat) which sent as a chat message, and someone responded ;) Showing the cheat code doesn't work in multiplayer.

Second screenshot is my map hack in action :D

Being away from home sucks, but could be worse :D

Very expensive webapp from a Cyber Security company...

The "update user profile" functionality in the UI includes "isSuperAdmin: false" in its request json

I wonder if... ah yes... now I'm Super Admin.

In the movie Hackers, when Dade and Kate are fighting over OTV the messages have "Message from Root on /dev/tty5" :)

Excellent collection! I'm missed a PSP disc recently and didn't get the Vinyl - but I also have the laser disc :D

CyberSecurity Vendor API's be like:

* you can filter Alerts based on "time"💪
* but... alert times are for different timezones
* and we didn't store the timezone information
* or store UTC times either
* so a time of 00:00 could be off by 12 hours... either direction👍

Good.

I know bugs happen in software, but this security product's bugfix is nuts:

"AUDIT LOG: When filtering data by User name, the data related to the user is not presented"
