Pro-tip: if you are ever designing a networking system (an alternative to TCP/IP, for example), consider including a name-to-address lookup mechanism (it doesn't have to be DNS, but SOMETHING) so that devices on the network don't ALSO NEED TCP/IP CONNECTIVITY to meaningfully communicate.

Just had a galaxy brain idea:
A programming language where lists have both an "Add" method and an "Append" method, and those methods *do not do the same thing*.
Using "Append" when you should have used "Add" will silently cause the list to be unmodified.

Just discovered that if one uses Google One backup for Android across multiple devices (possibly in combination with one of the phones being Samsung) it can desync what Google thinks the screen lock password is for restoring the backup, and you'll get "wrong password" when trying to restore.

Playing through the cut content has been joyous but has left me hungry for more! I'd pay good money for dlc where the original vision for the game is playable in its entirety, though I appreciate this is perhaps unrealistic 😅
Great work, people! @rainaaudron.bsky.social @blincoln.bsky.social

Thank you @rainaaudron.bsky.social, and also to @blincoln.bsky.social whose work on TLW I followed since high school back in 2001. Seeing the Lost Levels in an official release is a dream come true.

Congratulations to @rainaaudron.bsky.social, the first person to bring Legacy of Kain back to market in 21 years.
There is no better person in the world to have taken charge of these remasters, and it shows.
We can never begin to thank you and your team enough for finally restoring Nosgoth.

Does your online store have an embarrassingly-broken search, filter, or sort feature, but you, the business owner, don't know about it because your support team keeps telling customers it seems to be working fine? Try the options you never use - the results may surprise you!

It's almost as though deploying software updates immediately to all machines is a terrible idea.

My writeup on a "2,950-day" deserialization vulnerability in the GWT framework just went up. It's still unpatched 8 years later. To my knowledge no one has described how to exploit it publicly until now. If your organization uses GWT, you should read this.

I was kind of shocked by a discovery earlier this week. If you are using #BurpSuite and depending on the Active Scan++ extension to test for the #Log4Shell vulnerability, it hasn't been doing that since July, even though the BApp Store page still claims it does.
