The two that fired the shots have been named.

Thankfully Costco stations don’t do that. I’ve not seen an ad at a pump in years.

I switched to Smart Launcher because it was the only one I found that mentioned being able to import my Nova backup. The transfer wasn’t perfect, but extremely good.

That somehow doesn’t surprise me

That’s true, and I should have been less absolute in my language. However all of those activities were niche and actively scary sounding to the ‘normies’ (and to a lesser extent still are)

I actually did find “warez” on BBSs before I had Internet access. But I really think even finding BBS numbers in the back of a magazine and trying them out put me outside most computer users of the time.

Security by obscurity would have made a lot more sense before global communications allowed people to share the results of poking around like this.

Even after the Internet was invented probably 99% or more of users would have no clue about digging into the systems.

I’ve mentioned this before, but on one of my early contracts I found an ‘encryption’ function with a keyspace of 32… values. I don’t mean 32-bit. The key was prepended as the first byte to the stream, and the decryption function could accept the full 8-bit range.

Fortunately that was replaced by real encryption some time before I left. But I’m pretty sure nobody actually cracked it before then, because I think nobody thought to try it.

Maurice Ravel - Bolero

Although ‘enjoy’ is rather a strong word. More like “fail to dislike”. Barely.

Most famous depends on criteria, but the top selling single of all time is apparently White Christmas by Bing Crosby, and that’s a song I like.

Least famous is more difficult. Probably something by Auralnauts or Niel Cicierega or Acapella Science, etc.

The version that finally worked must have been Number nine. Number nine. Number nine. Number nine

Yeah, the log entry made it extremely clear that it was a pun on the existing term.

So are MiHoYo and those other companies actually paying the driver? I’ve heard of things like that.

Would make sense, another character was released recently that greatly improves Firefly teams, so the timing is right depending on when this was taken.

Realizing that a mirror shows different views to different people at the same time.
I think I learned a lot in kindergarten, but don’t remember the other kids, or teacher, or classwork at all.

This is from November, and is about the ‘student accounts’ thing which doesn’t at all help the central issue of being forced to make an account to distribute your app

Fake IDs are a whole industry in the US. I don’t think I personally knew anyone with one, but it was certainly a thing.

Also older siblings or friends.
