always_learning··on Jailbreaking the Switch 2
I suspect if the payout for the bug bounty wasn’t so ridiculously low then maybe this intelligent hacker would have submitted it, got paid and then released it once it was patched.

$50k max seems ludicrously low for a chain of console Zero days.

But then again they may have just released it for the love of the game, but Nintendo will be quick to patch this…

always_learning··on Ryanair wins screen scraping case against Booking.com in US court ruling
pretty bad precedent, id argue that anything thats publicly accesible is free to be scraped. So unless they did something illegal via bypassing security, then this sets a really bad tone for internet archival, web scraping and data collection in the future.

always_learning··on Ask HN: How do you deal with loss of motivation?
I'd advise you do some more charity work outside your normal job. That met give you lots of fulfillment. Spent your time outside work wisely. Like go to the gym, excercise, sport, eat healthily and hang out with people. That'll give you more fulfilment.

We can't get everything in life. Your idea of the "perfect job" is unrealistic.

Ahh yes finally a book! Now I can learn more about the role to see if I'd like to apply. I've always liked writing code and devops. Perhaps this is a perfect role.
