I'm almost as impressed that m1racles.com was available as I am with people who are good enough at this kind of reverse engineering that they can do it for fun.

Quick register all words that start with MI for future vulnerabilities. I’m waiting for M1RAGE and M1TIGATE myself.

You joke but somewhere there's a domainer doing this right now.

I'll give them a couple too: M1GHT, M1CRO*, M1ASMA (M1ASTHMA?), M1D*, M1FFED (with some 0xFFED somewhere?), M1GRATE (for some particularly pesky data extraction hack?), M1LES (for some unit conversion bug that makes the first MacOs-based spaceship crash)

M1GRAIN for something about atomic ops.

M1LF

That would be a line feed related parsing vulnerability in a messaging app on M1.

M1XOMATOSIS, M1G-29, M1XMASTRM1KE, M1CKEYM1CE, M1L1TTLEPWN1E…

... for those who like Apple a bit too much.

On a hunch I tried "myasthma.com" to see if that spelling were free. TIL that redirects to GlaxoSmithKline's en-gb homepage!

M1SASMA - for a particularly stinky bug.

m1stake, m1aculpa

Is m1aculpa like the mar1o spelling of the word? MamaM1a!

It'll have a short shelf life. Won't the M2 be out within a year?

MeToo

Soon enough we'll get the M9 and then the MX because of reasons. And SE / Lite / Pro versions.

I would suspect the final versions of M chips for all the first round Apple Silicon Macs are all taped out with no respins planned.

And I further expect that they’re already sampling the M chips for the subsequent round of products. Heck, they may even be completely done as well.

A "domainer" — that must be one of the ultimate pejorative descriptions of a person.

Is it though? They refer to themselves as domainers quite often. (I work with them indirectly)

I'm constantly surprised what domains are still available. I've registered many 2/3-letter domains (with 3-4 letter TLDs) in the past year, as well as ones for very common nouns (some also 3 letters), almost always for under $40. Admittedly it's mostly for the newer TLDs, though.

Similar story. I own a half-dozen relatively recently-registered three-letter domains at two-letter ccTLDs. I’m surprised every time one turns out to be available at normal rates.
