What if Sun Microsystems released a Zune digital media player?

RIP James Earl Jones.

If someone wants to help an emulator project then SheepShaver urgently needs PowerPC MMU implementation.

Classic Mac OS emulation shouldn't be this clunky in 2024 and I'm too tied up with DOSBox Staging to help save yet another emulator.

DOSBox Staging ships with full support for PowerPC including dynamic recompilation for ppc, ppc64 and ppc64le targets so we love the architecture.

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.
