What's this?
Sounds like me back in the early 80s when I used to war dial, and people used to share "active" prefixes. I learned all about the 911 prefix when I set my dialer and went to sleep. About 20 minutes later the cops were banging on my front door. True story; I was in 6th grade, got arrested for it.
wow did you get a record? this is some Hackers(1995) vibe stuff
I got taken to juvenile hall, put in a holding area with kids that had stolen cars and stabbed other kids in fights. The funny thing is all these "bad kids" were really cool; we talked about video games (Donkey Kong!). I remember one kid got into a fight with his football coach and broke both the coach's legs. He was a big kid, looked like a grown man. He was pretty much in charge of the holding area. But he was cool as hell, cracked jokes with me. I actually kinda enjoyed the holding area.
Anyway, the officials thought I had just called 911 over and over, like to play a prank. They wouldn't hear anything about my computer or whatever (it was the early 80s). They were pissed. I was kept in the holding area for a few hours, then they let me go home. I was ordered to a bunch of community service, cleaning the parking lots of local parks, stuff like that.
sounds like fun, well except for the community service. I bet you'd be in a lot more of trouble if you did that now
A work-around to install on unsupported hardware which both works, but is unsupported and could break during a feature Windows Update.
At this point I'd say it's more of a "would" than a "could"
A clever way to maximize the chances that your computer gets bricked on a future Patch Tuesday.
Some of the checks are around CPU features that they don’t currently use but may use in the future. And CPUs don’t typically respond super gracefully to being asked to execute instructions they don’t understand.
Whenever I see an unexplained command I don't understand from a random internet forum, I hop onto the production server and run it, just in case it might boost performance. Wouldn't want to miss out on that.
Been doing it since I was 12. It taught me all about the ins and outs of `rm`.
