* zxmpi looks for a decent tetris clone for dumb nokia...07:55
* zxmpi ponders downloading the entire site i got one from in case i need any other software i found there at a later point :-P09:27
=== popey3 is now known as popey
diddledaniooh, Dave was involved in the sony drm thing back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI21:06
zxmpiwhen people hacked sony it was fair game afterwards :-P21:09
davefI still remember waking up one morning to 30K e-mails from Sony Japan21:51
davefThey configured one of their services to use a domain I still have to this very day21:52
davefAnd it was a catch all for email21:52
diddledanisounds like they configured an invalid domain name21:53
diddledani;-p21:53
davefNext year will be 20 years with that domain21:53
davefCreation Date: 2002-10-28T22:30:52Z21:53
daftykins:D21:54
daftykinsdid you manage to contact someone?21:54
diddledanireply all. STOP!21:54
davefhttps://www.whois.com/whois/invaliddomain.com21:54
davefYeah, I found their NOC email address and sent a couple of screenshots. Within about an hour, it stopped. 21:55
daftykins\o/21:55
davefDidn't get a thank you or a message to say "pls delete"21:55
davefFollowing that, I think both IBM and Boeing have used the domain in their networks.21:55
davefI got into a disagreement with a NOC guy at Boeing claiming it was backskatter21:55
davefBut then I replied, no it's not.. I used to work at Boeing, check with so-and-so.. within a few hours I got an apology. 21:56
daftykins:D21:57
davefThese days I don't monitor it21:57
davefsweet.. my new winter boots just arrived, just in time for tomorrows snowstorm22:55
daftykinsyou can wear them all day at home to break 'em in \o/22:56
davefmaybe later22:56
davefi'm living in my crocs22:56
daftykinsooh yeah i had forgotten about that admission22:57
davefcrocs > any other shoe22:57
davefthey may look ugly, but holy hell are they comfortable, especially the fabric lined ones22:58
daftykinsfor now i think i'm still on the right side of 40 ;)23:02
* daftykins ducks23:02
davefi got mine before i hit 4023:02
davefwhy do companies still ship laptops with such terrible screen resolutions like 1366 x 768?23:03
daftykinsit's horrible indeed, that res needs to be banned23:03
davefthis is in a 11th gen i3, 8gb ram and 512gb ssd23:04
daftykinsunacceptable!23:04
davefand it's an HP23:04
davefthere's an Acer, only 250G ssd, but has a 15" 1080p display23:04
daftykinswhat gets me is why full HD ones always default to scaling to 150% or so on clean installs23:04
zxmpisuper high res is wasted on people over 40? 23:05
daftykinsdon't think the screen res angle is tied into the >40 topic :D23:08
davefthe thinkpad i was given from work defaulted to 150% ..23:09
daftykinsyeah pretty much default now, i tend to relax to 125% for others and then ship 'em out23:13
davefok, breaking in the boots23:35
diddledani"You're one of 113,990,759 people pwned in the Gravatar data breach" \o/23:46
davefyou too, huh?\23:47
diddledaniI guess I'm gonna receive this to all my email accounts, 'cos I put em all on the same gravatar listing23:52
davefk, so they didn't get passwords23:53
davefi couldn't care less if people have my e-mail address23:53
davefDo I want this? I want this.. https://www.shop.wirelessnetware.ca/ethernet-routers/441-rb5009ugsin.html23:54
diddledaniemail addresses aren't private info IMO. I keep on telling people that ask for redaction in WordPress land that emails aren't sensitive in any way whatsoever23:55
diddledanisame with web addresses23:55
davefright, e-mail addresses are public info.23:56
davefif somebody asks for my e-mail address, i'll give it to them23:56
