Seems like all the early adopters are going to sh*t in the pool of information for generations to come.

The quality of search results are going down for all sorts of reasons. And it is taking a dive for the worst, fast,

Does Australia exist? According to Bing: no. With credible citations too.

"Wikipedia isn't a source" my middle school teachers would say, and yet it is nearing the most long term reputable source of information.

Got the new Titan key from Google.
Can't even view what keys it is storing with Chrome from Google.

I wonder when employees from Google will make Titan compatible with Chrome from Google.

Do you ever get into debates about whether the mouth should be called bean-hole, corn-hole, or pie-hole — while grilling someone's shoes for being dropped on the river? (This is a dream)

The Wii Mario Kart community is kept alive by exploiting ASN.1 parsing in the game-bundled operating system.

Edited this gem from Malleo's video.

#certificates #pki #asn1 #exploit #nintendo #security

all of this is possible without hacking your wii. Nintendo shut down servers in 2014 Wiimfii is the new community server Wii accesses naswii.nintendowifi.net Your browser uses digital certificates When the wii connects to another server, the signature won't match The extra information has no parameters for SHA-256 with RSA. If we change null to octet string causes the wii to accept the certificate. It doesn't check all the errors. This was patched in a later version of the operating system. Each game disk is tied to a copy of the operating system. This behavior lets us connect to unofficial servers on an unmodified wii.

Does anyone know what this weird ripple effect is caused by? This isn't my phone, it's a video from someone else and I've got very little context.

Some mid night reading has learned me

JavaScript has a built in regex match for emojis!

const regexpEmojiPresentation = /\p{Emoji_Presentation}/gu;

You don't need complex and sometimes wrong regex from stack overflow to match emojis now.

OK, a serious and burning question: why do we have sex scenes in so many films to begin with?

Like, I came here to see a sci-fi film about time-traveling murderbots. Why is there 30 seconds of moaning and bad softcore erotica in the middle of my cybernetic murder spree? I'm sitting there awkwardly and thinking to myself: Mr. or Mrs. filmmaker, what exactly do you want me to do?!

I know it's a part of life, but we don't show the protagonist picking their nose or taking a dump. Why not just stick to wholesome murderbots?

Goodness the PQC forum is not appreciating DJBs contributions right now.

In the advent if DJBs upcoming amendment somehow passes. I nearby call for the public cryptographic research community through NIST to formally ban DJB from the PQC forum for life and enforce a lifetime ban on him from all NIST standardization processes. NIST has been hesitant to formalize a code of conduct for this forum. Surely this action qualifies as a red line violation.

In the year 2023, this hotel still uses magnetic cards and has no chip support in their payment terminals.

And, my key is already dead because it went into the pocket with my airpods. Magnets, how do they work?

Will be taking a more active approach to "is what I share engaging because it evokes fury and anger?" This was briefly left behind with the Twitter exodus. Now it is more common here and elsewhere in my life. It isn't something I or my friends need.

Anyone a desk lamp that gets suspiciously hot (80c+) around the switch, but otherwise works perfectly fine 🫠

It's fed by an external DC power brick so I don't expect it to blow up spectacularly, but it will probably short out at some point and take the analog coil power brick with it

The joys of home ownership: I have a new mower and it comes with motorized wheels. It has a stronger motor, which allows me to cut the grass more finely and to a lower level.

And this time, my back doesn't hurt at the end.

Is the CSS margin-trim property something you'd like to see in Interop 2024??
