CVE-2023-21036 / acropalypse is absolutely bonkers.

Apparently for 5+ years the cropping / editing tools for screenshots on Google Pixel phones was only overwriting the start of the screenshot PNG file, but not truncating.

All screenshots shared for the past 5+ years might have data recoverable from them. Demo available at acropalypse.app/

Google still hasn't communicated anything on this.

a message about anyone "othered" by society 

I found this a long while ago, and it rings true every time I read it.. everyone who is othered by society has to be much more careful about our actions and words less we give "proof" that doesnt exsist.

A new recovery thanks to Retroboy - an unfinished and early bullfighting game for the #C64 called 'La Venganza del Toro'. Added today into the GTW64 archives, which you can check out for yourselves at gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/la-v

We all know that the eShop shutting down sucks. But it sucks for way more reasons than you might realize.

There is no reasonable path to legally accessing enormous swaths of video game history, *even within libraries and archives*, and it’s because the ESA wants it that way.

DISCMASTER.TEXTFILES.COM's days are numbered unless we can find someone willing to host a server for it, allowing it to continue as a search engine. (It won't add more data for some time to come.) Are you someone extraordinarily cool who can provide rack and bandwidth space? DM
