  • I’ve got an I LOVE YOU virus once on a Panasonic X700 fliphone. And, since it was an already old phone by that time, no one had the right tools to fix it anymore.

    That phone was just like a Nokia, btw. Exact same Symbian OS, just with different media files and branding. (or at least, it looked like, so much so it hurt my young brain at the time)

    There were photos of F1 cars on it by default. And a mini golf game that was awesome.

    I was so sad when that phone got bricked. I don’t even tell you guys how I got that virus since it’s so embarrassing 😅

    Also I almost got a ransomware on a freshly installed PC. I was lucky enough to notice something was wrong and I was able to stop it. Though, lots of folders have been infected (files have been created - the message that should have been displayed inside the virus’s windows I assume) and some files did get encrypted - but not deleted…










  • Many years ago I tried it, but didn’t really read up on it. Wanted to back up my Pi’s sdcard while the system was running. I even fucking named that script “online-backup”.

    Now every time I ran that, after hours, I noticed my Pi was crashing, and never booted back up. I used chinese sd cards so I blamed it on them.

    But this happened multiple times, just to learn I was using dd absolutely wrong.

    dd was always a scary utility to me, and still is. I fucked up things with dd, regardless I quadruple checked everything 😅

    but to answer the question; it’s possible, but you really need to know what are you doing.


  • I always read now and even back then people complaining about t9 and how shitty it is…

    I don’t know, I loved it on my Sony Ericssons. The implementation of it was really nice.

    Granted, I did use it on my native language, so maybe in English, it is shitty, but it was a must have thing to turn on for me after a while (when I discovered and realized how it works. before that, it was just some strange black magic)

    Just started typing, and if I waited a bit, a list of words came up and could use the dpad or joystick to select a word. only annoying thing was a popup, if the word did not exists I was trying to type, but then I could just add it with two button presses and that’s it.
