  • I feel i’m kinda vaccinated against the junior feeling because week 2 of my first job out of college, I crashed both sides of a cluster, leaving the client’s factory responsible for half of their European production dead for 3 days.

    I panicked for a few days then they asked me to do an incident report and I thought I was cooked and then literally nothing happened to me. Nowadays if shit hits the fan at 16h59 then I’m gone at 17h00 anyway and so should everybody that’s bothered by the smell.


















  • The 3DS used to be hacked using a QR code that was scanned using the game cubic ninja (it used QR codes as a medium for sharing levels). The interpreter had a basic memory safety bug, so you could trigger a ROP chain using a malformed QR code to get ACE. This was of course voluntary by the user (and cubic ninja was hard to get because it was not a commercial success) but that qualifies, I guess.

    Then they found out the 3ds browser uses a WebKit version from 2003 and nowadays you just go to a website lol
