Looks to me like they’re essentially redirecting the request from the normal api to do age checks to their own api, and just saying “Sure, they’re an adult” to discord (since that is all the “proper” api tells them).

Wait… Those amateurs [at discord and the age check company] didn’t even think of signing the check in any way and then verifying the data they get send back? That’s not even hard to implement?!

Not now, Richard!

Help, how do I get out!!!

Oh gosh, what did I just witness?!

Number, not digit. But I see what you mean.

Color? In my movies? That’s woke!

As the hoster wrote this:

we immediately transferred all clients’ web hosting subscriptions from this server

It looks like the binaries and the update check script were put on a simple web space. If that is the correct conclusion to draw from this excerpt, then it’d be rather strange to have the keys on that server as it’s very unlikely that it was used to produce any builds.

From my understanding: Basically the attackers could reply to your version check request (usually done automatically) and tell N++ that there were a new version available. If you then approved the update dialogue, N++ would download and execute the binary from the update link that the server sent you. But this didn’t necessarily need to be a real update, it could have been any binary since neither the answer to the update check nor the download link were verified by N++

Wait until they decide to seize it

Because Linux exists :p

Unrealistic. Every repair on Windows starts with DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth followed by sfc /scannow

…wait. no… That’s the correct way. The MS MVP in the forum always mix it up and tell you to run them in reverse…

You see, the problem is, that you try to open the Terminal on Windows Home or Pro. Personal use doesn’t include advanced features like Terminal access. Please upgrade to a Windows Enterprise License to continue to be able to use the Terminal.

Alternatively you may try using Copilot to run commands and change system settings in a text based environment.

In my pocket

I bought it back then in the Android… 2.x or 4.x days as the launcher on my phone sucked. Hadn’t much complaints about the stock launchers of my next few phones and forgot about it until I got a Pixel. Wow, the pixel launcher was a complete letdown. Especially the forced unremovable search bar that’s completely useless for me and takes up so much real estate on the screen. Then I couldn’t remove the at a glance widget either (IIRC a big back then, but… Yeah…). I get it, that it’s nice, but… Again: Too much real estate for a clock, a totally unreliable weather info (at least in my area?) and info about the currently playing song.

Searched launchers, remembered Nova and was surprised it was still around and had all the features I wanted. Bonus: it allows me to resize widgets.

I tried Octopi, when the owner change news for Nova hit, but was so used to having folders on the dock from my previous phones and Nova, that I couldn’t use it without that feature. So I tried lawnchair which is basically the pixel launcher but with exactly the features I missed in the original. I can get rid of spotlight and can get rid of the search bar. Widgets are resizable. Also the dock features folders. And I can control the grid size and adjust it to my liking.

Niagara was also recommended to me, but… IIRC in the end it felt to opinionated about the workflow and immediately lost me. Not what I’m looking for in a launcher. (Not saying it’s bad - just that it’s not for me).

I needed to use a code block for that address as several apps had a problem when I tested escaping the back ticks in the address for the inline code. Not sure if you mean that as it renders in it’s own line or if anything else is broken

A plus sign? That’s nothing, LOL
