I was going to say the same thing. I regret waiting so long to buy one. Between that and Bazzite I never play my consoles anymore.

In order to connect to a site like wtfismyip.com you have to do a dns query for the IP address of the server, then query the http port on that IP address, but what if instead, that first dns query gave the answer to your question?

48 minutes? I totally have time for that while scrolling.

In case anybody was shocked by the headline: no, he did not say he was wrong.

That’s why it’s called doublethink.

In 1999+ you could sniff people’s passwords in clear text right out of the air on public WiFi networks. tcpdump port 110 and just watch them roll in.

In the late 90’s you could use a floppy disk to boot nt and dump the password hashes of anybody who had logged in, then run them through a dictionary attack which would take a matter of minutes before learning that your company’s top employees used their favorite football team or cartoon character as their password without even appending some numbers to it. Dude with the football password even had the password emblazoned in his office wall.

One time in the 90’s I got to a password prompt and just held enter, and eventually was just let past the password prompt.

In X windows if you managed to kill the screensaver password entry box you were dropped back to the desktop, and people found ways to crash the screensaver by overrunning the password input buffer by pasting input repeatedly using common keyboard shortcuts. (Pretty sure this same exact bug exited in early Mac osx versions.)

Before the cloud it was so hard to get a budget for anything, even necessary yearly upgrades. Sometimes I would have to scrap the least important server when a component in a more important one died. Then the cloud came along and suddenly we had so much money to spend! But now it was so hard to track who spent it, what projects it was spent on, and how we could dial it down. SMH. Cloud computing can be so ridiculous.
