In the 1960s, a kid playing with a toy whistle from a Cap’n Crunch cereal made an odd discovery. The whistle produced a 2600-hertz tone, the same sound used by AT&T to control its phone network. That unlocked a loophole in the system, allowing them to hack into AT&T and get free long distance calls.

I saw it was supposed to be released on the 13th then it was pushed back. They had some hiccups with the GOG release, too. Oh well, it's live now! Glad to be able to finally have access to it through Steam.

I've been waiting for this to come to Steam. Checking over on the Steam page it's saying "coming soon" for me. Also, checking your description for the Steam page, it says "grab it here" while pointing to a Sega Saturn emulator. Just a heads up!

All of these activities, wonderful people, and beautiful scenery makes me want to move to Portland. Definitely makes all the poor "Red states" filled with trash and terrible decisions look like shit for some odd, mysterious reason.

A 'must have for hobbyists'. It does this type of damage, yet sold as a toy for zapping insects. As a 'hobby'.

Sheesh. I just looked those up and they are unreasonably expensive! I really like my T-12. It was about a 4th of the price. I'd guess that it might be pretty decent? I traded in my Weller long ago and jumped on the Hakko bandwagon for about a year. I absolutely despised that thing.
