Fable 5 is Back 21 days ago

I once had Fable flag on one of the three-word session names that Cowork auto generated at the beginning.

Services those emails are used with cannot unilaterally send email to them. They must pre-register how they will send email to them, which breaks services with third-party relationships such as online retail with payment processors or shipping companies.

You're talking about "Sign in with Apple" email addresses here, not Hide My Email. Anyone can send to Hide My Email addresses.

They typically ban the glitch entirely. For example cartridge manipulation or "CD streaming" glitches in Zelda speedruns are banned, and if you submitted a run containing them while claiming the game did it on its own, they would probably tell you to get a new copy of the game.

The crucial context here is that archive.today provides a useful public service for free.

So public services should DDoS is your argument?

Jani Patokallio runs gyrovague.net in order to harass people who provide useful public services.

I scrolled pretty far through the blog and didn't find anything of that sort. Just a bunch of travel stuff. Now I'm curious what sort of "harassment" you hallucinated in the sites that were previously targeted by archive.today's DDoS attacks.

They already do this with used consoles and games. If you buy a used Switch that someone tampered with on the software side, the only way you would find out something is wrong is when you get blocked from Nintendo servers months later. Or perhaps you bought a used game that someone cloned the card ID from, and you end up getting blocked when others use the ID.

Getting blocked from the Nintendo servers doesn't just mean losing online play, you can't update the console or games, play game-key card games, or run downloaded games that it needs to validate your ownership of.

I had gone there a few times probably several months before they closed. It was quite sad how empty it was. Product hangers were lined up in a single row with one item on each hanger. The only shelf that looked full was the one aisle filled with just the same two pack of canned air, nothing else.

It is written very strangely. It's not exactly like they reached the decision to use F-line traps for co-processors, I'm pretty sure F-line traps were designated by Motorola for co-processors, and A-line traps were free for use for OS and Toolbox trap instructions.

The "software crashed expecting a co-processor" part doesn't make any sense either, you were always supposed to check if a co-processor was available. There was no big rug pull or anything, both the first models and some later models simply did not have co-processors. Developers were provided this information.

And the last two sentences seem completely unrelated to the prior ones, so I'm not really sure what they're trying to string together.

I'd imagine it's much easier today, than it was in the past. We have TikTok and other forms of simple to access entertainment, no heavy reliance on cash and writing checks, and worse case you just ask someone else to help you.

Although I assume illiteracy indirectly implies that you can speak the language in some acceptable form, I would imagine it would be similar to living in another country without knowing the language. You go into the McDonald's click on the pictures of the food you want, press the big green button, then use your plastic card.

They put in a lot of effort to prevent you from deleting the main executable (you the user that is, malware can probably delete it just fine using the usual methods) however one day I discovered you can delete the .dll files from its folder and it no longer runs, and Windows does not do anything to try and fix it.

We had a microwave in the office that auto started based on whatever number you pressed. If you wanted to type in 45 seconds, you would press 4 and it would instantly start running with 4 minutes on the timer. Everyone just pressed the "+30 seconds button" until it was close to the time they wanted and then stopped it manually to get it more precise.

If I remember right the solution was to press "Cook Power" then type in the number of seconds. There was nothing on the microwave to explain this, I had to look it up online.

As far as I've seen AT&T and Verizon are the only ones getting contracts, never T-Mobile or US Cellular.

I personally have seen much greater damage from other contractor's failures (Microsoft, Oracle, etc.) than AT&T or Verizon could cause. When you've suddenly lost email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, the phone is as useless as the computer.

But the sad reality I've experienced is that a fiber seeking backhoe hundreds of miles away cripples half your network and Lumen insists there is nothing that can be done to prevent this. And everyone just goes along with this.

Abandon its use and switch to what? For example with wireless service I'm pretty sure the only alternative to AT&T FirstNet is Verizon Frontline, and using Frontline exclusively would mean areas without good coverage would suffer.

If they just seize it, it will typically be returned at some point. If they decide it's subject to forfeiture, it is now their property. You can contest this with the forfeiture department but I guess if they decide the item is guilty of a crime or other excuses to keep it there's nothing you can do.

The Macintosh would disable any interrupts that were not level 4 or higher when accessing the floppy disk to prevent data loss. This was basically everything other than the programmers switch. It did however have a check to see if the serial port received data while it was busy with the floppy disk so that could be serviced before a buffer overrun occurs.
