Guys, I know the exact location of this super secret military base called the pentagon; I can share the coordinates for the right price

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 38 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This reminds me of how, on the early Apple Newtons, you could search the Map app for "Area 51" and it would give the correct coordinates, even though that base didn't officially exist according to the government.

Plus it changed your theme to flying saucers which was fun.

The Apple Newton had a Map app? Not the iPhone, the Newton? The one from the '90s, with a max of 8 megabytes of storage?

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I remembered incorrectly. It’s actually the time zone map. It didn’t have a map application

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

That makes so much more sense.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

Google Maps does (did?) the UFO thing as well.

As long as it isn't the top-secret meeting room / Hotdog stand

Dude thats crazy!!! I know larry who knows jim, and jim has a barber that has a docter who has a freind that works at tacobell. and tom works in cyber security. He told me about this website where people post breaches of source code. Shhhh You didnt hear this from me

Github.com

Its very top secret

Damn, this "GI Thub" must be quite secretive

[–] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes the GI's don't just let anyone play in their hot thub.

Akshuallly, it's pronounced "juy"

Oh, I was saying gi like the martial arts clothing.

Even the first entry is wrong, the firmware is not open source.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Projects whose source code has leaked generally aren't.

That said my cursory Google search turned up nothing relating to the source code of the firmware so

[–] damium@programming.dev 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

IIRC the PS3 had it's firmware encryption key published not the source code.

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Correct. And the private encryption key was derived because during encryption sony didnt use a random number at every encryption, but a constant instead. So a few math operations with the public key and tada, it you have the private key

And unless I'm missing something, this was in 2012, not 2011.

[–] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I think you phrased that wrong. I think you're claiming that the firmware was never leaked. ChatGPT did not claim the firmware was open source. It's a pretty easy brainfart to make and say "open" when you mean "(now) public".

holy shit, mika

😱😱oh no not the ubuntu source code leak😱😱

[A screenshot of a ChatGPT message is shown, transcribed below]

Here are 25 additional instances where source code was leaked:

  1. Sony PlayStation 3 (Sony, 2011): The PS3's firmware was leaked, leading to a surge in jailbreaking activities.

  2. Ubuntu Linux (Canonical, 2007): Parts of the Ubuntu source code were leaked, raising concerns in the open-source community.
