< can't say for sure. < hears a lot about bespoke software and updates breaking things, but how true they are, < doesn't know.

< thinks the kids who are behind it should just fuck off

< is trying to learn 68k assembly.

Ooh, Assembly? < did some very simple 8051 Assembly during <'s uni course, not something < wants to do again. < wonders what got ^ interested in programming with Assembly.

Sonic ROMhacking

< probably is going to have a hard time trying to understand it though.

< wishes ^ the best of luck with that!
< dabbled in x86 assembly a few years ago because of a tutorial in Linux Voice. < never really went any further with it though.

< once had a go with assembly for the Z80 (Gameboy) but < didn't get too far. < might pick it up again some time though.

< reckons AdBlock should be a cornerstone of organizations' IT security policies, despite the guilt-tripping it engenders.

<'s finally learned the "Friedrich method" for solving <'s Rubik's Cube, hopefully < can improve <'s time

< has dealt with Windows malware a few times in the past.

< minds getting one a few years back that "encrypted" most of <s files and all < remembers doing that could've been the causs of it was going on one small but still professional sire and activated flash on it

< will always run AdBlock. < knows a lot of sites will try guilt-tripping you or worse, but < doesn't care. <'s priorities is that security comes first.

Exactly <'s attitude, ^. < did eventually subscribe to Phoronix Premium due to Michael Larabel's guilt-tripping though!

< sees that ^ now finally responded to the Doctor Who thread.

< installed GCC 7.1 today.
