that whole #Trustico disaster got worse.

so their website had trivial RCE.
As root.

An hour after that was realised, it went down. Evidently someone ran `rm -rf /*` (or something similar).

Wait, so if you apply to become a software developer, aren't you writing applications so you can write applications?

This is a GitHub repository containing the source code of Pokémon Red and Blue, disassembled and refactored to human-readable (and editable!) asm.

While the code is refactored, its functionality is untouched, and the ROMs you built with this code will be identical to the one that is on US Pokémon Red or Blue cartridge.

It is a really cool and interesting project!

...so it turns out that typical shellcode methods of dynamic linking (via PEB, etc) bypass the Windows Store's "disallowed API" checks (which are documented to only check imports of all PEs).

I wonder how long it'll be before adtech/etc SDK use such tricks like on other platforms..?

But just then a bro wandered past and chuckled, "Ha ha, nothing's unbreakable! Some clever hacker will root it eventually!"

Which was even worse.

He could have backed me up and said "the right to repair and tinker is important,"
but instead he undermined me,
giving this dude a pass for tivoizing as hard as he could,
happily accepting corporate control as a matter of course,
because hackers are ✨magic✨.

Just because a lot of stuff has been hacked doesn't mean it's easy, or inevitable.

That blood moon this morning was interesting, but all the monsters respawning before everyone's commute was pretty inconvenient
