> You can still download games for PS3 and Vita after they stop selling them.

For now.


Just as you can download old games on Steam for now. Either will pull the plug whenever they want.

You dropped this: /s

It's quite obviously sarcasm so they don't need it.


i edited it to the same url before opening as i usually do for twitter urls so that i can see the full conversation without being logged into twitter.

for some reason the url rewrote iteself to this: https://themenspiegel.click/c/de/52_merzchrupalla/?method=po...

which is a german language scam site. i have no explanation how this happened, whether it is xcancel.com doing this or something loaded from twitter that caused xcancel to do this. never seen anythin like it before, would like to know more.

btw any further reloads of the xcancel url to that tweet totally work as expected.


Doubt. xcancel.com does not even seem to have any advertisements at all, when I disable ublock. Site seems remarkable clean, no thirdparty connections apart from a cdn. Sure you didn't type cancelx.com? Cause there something shady is going on. Otherwise, I would strongly suggest checking your extensions or system for malware.

Sure you didn't just make a typo and hit a squatted domain?

did not think of that, maybe it's this. i tried a couple typos just now and holy shit most of these are registered and you land on some really dodgy shit, i.e. porn and sites that seem to try out browser exploits. did not find the scam site from earlier, but can't count it out either.

do not go to sites like xancel.com, xcancl.com, xcncl.com .. they are not safe. damn typoswatters.


Throwing an additional anecdote into the bucket, this did not happen for me. Any chance you have a dodgy extension installed?

>should take a qualified candidate 20 minutes to finish beginning to end (as in, including syncing the project, setting up their editor, exploring the problem, googling around about things, trying it out and then following up with the email to HR

So about six minutes for the problem itself, then?


Yeah, speaking of bias ...


Please don't engage in whataboutism on HN.


Posts like this should not be on hn in the first place.

Within the given context it is a valid question.


So you think until someone breaks your door down because of something sent from your connection.


>However, this particular case was pretty interesting, given that it was on an older drive with MLC NAND that has since disappeared from the market.

Much less surprised after reading this; MLC is quite durable. Not as much as SLC, but still much better than TLC or, heaven forbid, QLC flash (which is trash).


WAY too many clicks per word. One, max.

The green button (which should not exist) was also hidden under Firefox for Android's address bar until I tried to "scroll* to hide it.


>The data comprises of roughly 50% of all Fortinet firewall devices facing the internet, based on polling from Shodan.

Jesus wept. When will companies stop using garbage products like this?


The company isn't known in the security industry as Faultygate for nothing. Even in a industry known for its crappy products, Faultygate still manages to stand out.


Narrator: They won't

Next year it will be come other company

And the year after that yet another, and so the cycle continues.
