[07:55]  * zxmpi looks for a decent tetris clone for dumb nokia...
[09:27]  * zxmpi ponders downloading the entire site i got one from in case i need any other software i found there at a later point :-P
[21:06] <diddledani> ooh, Dave was involved in the sony drm thing back in the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqWjq2SdzpI
[21:09] <zxmpi> when people hacked sony it was fair game afterwards :-P
[21:51] <davef> I still remember waking up one morning to 30K e-mails from Sony Japan
[21:52] <davef> They configured one of their services to use a domain I still have to this very day
[21:52] <davef> And it was a catch all for email
[21:53] <diddledani> sounds like they configured an invalid domain name
[21:53] <diddledani> ;-p
[21:53] <davef> Next year will be 20 years with that domain
[21:53] <davef> Creation Date: 2002-10-28T22:30:52Z
[21:54] <daftykins> :D
[21:54] <daftykins> did you manage to contact someone?
[21:54] <diddledani> reply all. STOP!
[21:54] <davef> https://www.whois.com/whois/invaliddomain.com
[21:55] <davef> Yeah, I found their NOC email address and sent a couple of screenshots. Within about an hour, it stopped. 
[21:55] <daftykins> \o/
[21:55] <davef> Didn't get a thank you or a message to say "pls delete"
[21:55] <davef> Following that, I think both IBM and Boeing have used the domain in their networks.
[21:55] <davef> I got into a disagreement with a NOC guy at Boeing claiming it was backskatter
[21:56] <davef> But 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. 
[21:57] <daftykins> :D
[21:57] <davef> These days I don't monitor it
[22:55] <davef> sweet.. my new winter boots just arrived, just in time for tomorrows snowstorm
[22:56] <daftykins> you can wear them all day at home to break 'em in \o/
[22:56] <davef> maybe later
[22:56] <davef> i'm living in my crocs
[22:57] <daftykins> ooh yeah i had forgotten about that admission
[22:57] <davef> crocs > any other shoe
[22:58] <davef> they may look ugly, but holy hell are they comfortable, especially the fabric lined ones
[23:02] <daftykins> for now i think i'm still on the right side of 40 ;)
[23:02]  * daftykins ducks
[23:02] <davef> i got mine before i hit 40
[23:03] <davef> why do companies still ship laptops with such terrible screen resolutions like 1366 x 768?
[23:03] <daftykins> it's horrible indeed, that res needs to be banned
[23:04] <davef> this is in a 11th gen i3, 8gb ram and 512gb ssd
[23:04] <daftykins> unacceptable!
[23:04] <davef> and it's an HP
[23:04] <davef> there's an Acer, only 250G ssd, but has a 15" 1080p display
[23:04] <daftykins> what gets me is why full HD ones always default to scaling to 150% or so on clean installs
[23:05] <zxmpi> super high res is wasted on people over 40? 
[23:08] <daftykins> don't think the screen res angle is tied into the >40 topic :D
[23:09] <davef> the thinkpad i was given from work defaulted to 150% ..
[23:13] <daftykins> yeah pretty much default now, i tend to relax to 125% for others and then ship 'em out
[23:35] <davef> ok, breaking in the boots
[23:46] <diddledani> "You're one of 113,990,759 people pwned in the Gravatar data breach" \o/
[23:47] <davef> you too, huh?\
[23:52] <diddledani> I guess I'm gonna receive this to all my email accounts, 'cos I put em all on the same gravatar listing
[23:53] <davef> k, so they didn't get passwords
[23:53] <davef> i couldn't care less if people have my e-mail address
[23:54] <davef> Do I want this? I want this.. https://www.shop.wirelessnetware.ca/ethernet-routers/441-rb5009ugsin.html
[23:55] <diddledani> email 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 whatsoever
[23:55] <diddledani> same with web addresses
[23:56] <davef> right, e-mail addresses are public info.
[23:56] <davef> if somebody asks for my e-mail address, i'll give it to them
