I have to return some videotapes.

@starmexxx This is fiction, but even if true wouldn't have been "reverse engineering".

Reverse Engineering is disassembling binary code, analyzing packet captures, or mapping network traffic.

What the post describes is using an automated exploit or brute-force attack to breach a system.

@peduarte 100% agree

@onlytruejustin You're kind, thank you. I'd do a show again, but who would listen?

[Dan Benjamin 👻 @danbenjamin]

@stalman False.

[Dan Benjamin 👻 @danbenjamin]

@erictimmer NO!

Lots of people today connecting the Tesla Roadster to the flying DeLorean from Back to the Future, but for those of us who are EVEN OLDER, there's the Mach 5's auto-jacks. Button A.

@FedExHelp @fedex It seems like you've lost my package but the website says it's out for delivery after being motionless for 27 hours. Can you assist?

Do I know anyone who can help me find a (seemingly) rare children's book from the late 1960s/early 1970s?

[Dan Benjamin 👻 @danbenjamin]

@jdalrymple I would love to figure this out, too. It's not Windows, and it's not Linux.

@backblaze If only you'd let me login.

Now that my kids are older, I mostly take photos of things I want to remind myself about, nutrition labels, parking spot at the airport, stupid things I want to share with a friend.

I have a pocket camera that I prefer to use if I am serious about taking pictures.

Unpopular opinion:I don’t care about my phone camera and would prefer a flat phone without a camera bump.

I am moving away from devices. Little social media. No “working on my phone.”

Instead I use a computer to do focused work.

Have any weird links, personal projects, or other oddities I can link in the first edition of The Unusual, coming next week?

@8BitDo How about Mac support? You're kind of missing your target demographic without that.

I'm about to list my Fujifilm X100V with a bunch of customizations on eBay unless someone here is interested.
