Heh, just got an interesting scam email. It's a payment request from paypal.com for something random that has nothing to do with me.

It's a legitimate email, the body links all go to the right place, the sender is service@paypal.com. It passed all DKIM checks and antispam checks.

The trick? It's not addressed to me. They got PayPal to send a legitimate payment request to a special address which then forwarded the email to me, through Outlook/Microsoft servers before reaching mine (so they have good reputation too).

When you click the payment link, you get a legitimate PayPal login and payment request with this little tagline:

We'll link fake@address.com to your PayPal account when you log in.

So not only do they not check that the email that the request was sent to is the actual account owner, they will "helpfully" link it in and consider this action as equivalent to an email address ownership confirmation! What are the implications of this? Who knows! Maybe it means they could issue password resets via that address then?

Scary, though I guess not unsurprising security fail from PayPal.

But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

I updated my compilation of how to solve the Hudson sign puzzles in Tears of the Kingdom, as I realized one of the funniest solutions was only on my deactivated twitter account:

Fair enough... Have a nice day

My brand-new MiniGolf game for Palm OS is ready! ⛳ There's even a full-fledged level editor built in. (All in a 55kb executable!)

If you don't have a Palm, you can also play it in the in-browser emulator.

i grew up with the master system version of olympic gold. i didn't find out until like over a decade later that there was also a mega drive version, and that menu title arrangement always sounded wrong to me. anyway here's my arrangement of the master system version more or less how it played out in my head

We’re currently being hit by a #typhoon here in Kagoshima, #Japan right now, and everyone has their eyes glued to this palm tree (nicknamed ヤッシー) to see if it will ever fall over in the wind, cheering it on in the live chat. It’s kind of become a typhoon tradition here.

Another overlooked arcade classic, the three-player Super Off Road by Leland.

The story behind this license involves a chance meeting at a sushi bar. One day I hope to tell that story - had to cut this one from the book! #videogamehistory
