• Oh nyo.
  
  
  This is the game that wrecked my vacation and now that I'm back from vaction has wrecked my first day back at work.
  
  Thanks anonymous hacker, but couldn't you have done this a week earlier?

• Canon can't get the chips it uses to lock users into approved toner cartridges and has had to issue instructions on how to unlock your printer to use toner cartridges without those chips.  (WCCFTech)
  
  Which means you no longer have to buy Canon cartridges at all.  Every silver lining has a cloud, or however that saying goes.
  
  
  
• Pixy's First Law of Personal Responsibility: Once you choose to use Node.js, everything that happens subsequently is your own damn fault.
  
  One developer broke about 20,000 Node.js projects after getting fed up with Big Tech taking advantage of open source developers.  (Bleeping Computer)
  
  He uploaded broken versions of two of his libraries in protest against being treated basically as slave labour.  The guy appears to be something of a nut and reportedly set his own apartment on fire with amateur pyrotechnics experiments, but he's not wrong.
  
  And for uploading unapproved changes to his own code - which broke the functionality but didn't do anything malicious - he's now locked out of GitHub. 
  
  Which is owned by Microsoft.
  
  
  
  That's exactly how people should be trained.  It's entirely correct.
  
  

A lousy day at work after a lousy week when I was supposed to be on vacation but was at work - often at 2AM - but this little clip cheered me up.

Thank you chaos gremlins.
