Samsung’s statement said that it wasn’t their fault and that external factors were solely responsible for this happening. What external factors would cause this?

Same here. 😬

I really feel for them.

One toke is over the line? Sweet Jesus!

Outlook.com, duh!

You should get a really powerful slingshot and yeet them right into some petroleum executive’s face!

Dammit, this attacker is sounding more and more adorable!

It’s a link to a comment on this subject that says:

Ok, so to explain. This DID happen,literally 500m from my home :) the system was designed to store reg plate numbers and later turned to a speed camera. The stunt was done by a few students of the Technical University, it did bring the whole db down. They tried to revive it, but ultimately the boards have been dead for the past 5 years or so. Mind that this hack was performed around 7 or 8 years ago:) I can provide pics of the dead board now and exact coordinates too:)

And then later in the replies they do give the coordinates of the camera billboard thing they broke, and someone posts a Google Maps screenshot of the board at the coordinates they gave that just looks like a little digital billboard that’s turned off and is just black, and the OP confirms that it is the board they mentioned.

Hope that all makes sense; I’ve got a lot brain fog/stress brain and stuff and it felt like too much to screenshot lol

Here’s the hover text for this one:

Learning arcane bullshit from the 80s can break your computer, but if you’re willing to wade through arcane bullshit from programmers in the 90s and 2000s, you can break everyone else’s computers, too.

And once you’ve emptied it of all it’s goodies, then blow up the machine!

Yep, I learned a good bit of it in school. That shit’s helpful.

Good call! Last night, after I finished that article, I liked it enough that I wanted to check out what else they had, and ended up reading a handful from them and their sibling publications and putting the two you mentioned on my RSS feed list. Thank you for donating to places like that & for sharing them with those of us who didn’t know about them!

This is super cool. Thank you for sharing it here. I love articles like this! Ants are wild, neat lil things.

(…)there are roughly 200,000 times more ants on our planet than the 100 billion stars in the Milky Way.

I just cannot wrap my head around that.

Thank you! I had no idea what this was talking about but was curious, so this is perfect. I appreciate it!

RIP in peace Xtallll :( They didn’t even have time to finish their sentence before they died! Killed mid-word…A tragedy!
