Microsoft could stop researchers bothering them with security bug reports by simply not writing security bugs into their software.

@DoingFedTime Are they really that worried about data center sabotage so they have to lure people into hosting the hardware?

@nachovonbaron @XRPee1983 As mentioned in the listing there: "The DF0/DF1 boot selector is necessary for Amiga 500." On Amiga 1200 you can select boot device in a menu accessed by holding both mouse buttons during boot.

@nachovonbaron @XRPee1983 There is a external drive port/connector on the back of the A500, the problem is that you can't boot from external floppy (DF1) on A500 without hardware modifications. Here's an example from eBay (not my listing): ebay.com/itm/3869433896…

What in the Supet Famicon is this? 😂

@nachovonbaron @XRPee1983 Yes, I was thinking of getting one for my Amiga 1200, but you can install it as external DF1 drive there, so no need to modify computer case.

@modrobert @XRPee1983 Yah, I've been meaning to put one in the Amiga 500. But I'm hesitant to molest it.

@XRPee1983 Old school floppy based copier, back when they were mainstream products rather than "hobby" projects like now.

@nachovonbaron @XRPee1983 It's a floppy disk emulator.

@XRPee1983 I'm familiar with the term, Gotek. Basically a USB bootable drive to emulate games.

@eevblog I wonder if they are aware each rule makes for less permutations total, in other words it makes the password less secure.

No, f*ck off, just let me use any password I want.

High time to recap the SNES, no leaks but some capacitors are definitely bad. I already recapped the Pro Fighter X Turbo and put a Gotek drive in it a while back.

@kmcnam1 Not sure what's worse, not being able to configure screen lid close behavior or using agents.

jfc....

I made a small diagnostic tool called MegaDoctor. It is intended to help find hardware faults during Mega Drive / Genesis console repairs. github.com/krikzz/megadoc…

@eevblog Baseband modem backdoor?

Dodo tech support said nothing was wrong but they would do a "network reset" anyway. And they said my phone would remotely switch on off and on again, how is that a thing?

@eevblog When getting those "you pervert" accusation emails I always feel like I'm missing out, since they seem to assume everyone is excessively jerking off in front of their computer or phone.

Damn, looks like everyone has been infecting my machine and has secretly recorded me! I guess I'd better pay up that Bitcoin, I wouldn't want that webcam footage to leak out! 🤣 I'm confused though, do I have to pay them all or just one of them? I've gotten over 300 requests just in May, all with the same BTC address. 12 people have been scammed and paid up by the looks of it.

@AJamesMcCarthy You cameras are getting the shock waves close, apparently these waves travel far and are unhealthy in the form of low frequency sound.

I just noticed this photo had a shock wave in it too
