That reminds me, I have a photo of Twitter on a Spectrum.

I'll post it if I can find it.

The most serious of the findings is the authentication bypass CVE-2024-51978. A remote unauthenticated attacker can leak the target device's serial number through one of several means, and in turn generate the target device's default administrator password. This is due to the discovery of the default password generation procedure used by Brother devices. This procedure transforms a serial number into a default password. Affected devices have their default password set, based on each device's unique serial number, during the manufacturing process. Brother has indicated that this vulnerability cannot be fully remediated in firmware, and has required a change to the manufacturing process of all affected models.

So the fix for this "can't be fixed" issue is to change the default password yourself, which you should be doing anyway.

I vaguely recall the decimal ha'penny. I am old.

No, because the £ didn't change, it was just divided up differently.

A pre-decimal £ is the same as a decimal £.

You could technically still pay in Shillings until they redesigned the 5p.

Almost at the boss? He should be equipped with some sort of armour, a weapon, and a load of health potions.

Avocado? That's a middle class squirrel right there.

 

Would you eat a strawberries and cream sandwich? It sounds a bit odd to me, but strawberry jam works and this isn't that dissimilar I guess?

Mr Tickle because of the long arms. Although I'm probably more Little Miss Shy.

That's quite cool (pun not intended). It's only the wrapper that changes though. It makes sense with chocolate because melty, but who's putting biscuits in the fridge?

Not sure when this broke, but I'm no longer seeing the preview images when a post is a link to a news article.

It's just showing the 🔗 image with the domain under it.

Edit: Clearing cache doesn't help. Feddit.uk had a update a few days ago, so I'm wondering if that's caused this, although not sure why it would have?
