The partitioning is some virtual magic. It didn't shrink my current one, but it let me "double book" the space to install the other OS. (I haven't tried Tahoe yet but I did this with Sequoia recently)

When I check the "captcha", it makes an XHR request and the response contains the full command (base64-encoded) that ends up in the clipboard. So I guess if it's a bug it's probably server-side

Hah, there is! Similar pattern, inserts a command into the clipboard.

cmd /c "powershell -w h -e OwA=" && ✅ I am human

I'm not sure this would do anything? Seems like OwA= is a semicolon

Maybe it only really works on Windows, or this command is bugged like the curl one was.

Ahh ok. I found a couple interesting strings that are used in a bunch of places to decode other stuff in various ways

Thanks! Uploaded. Seems to be a known thing.

The sketchy link, a Google Sites page, shows a fake captcha checkbox.

And it copies a terminal command into your clipboard.

And then: "to better prove you're not a robot, open a terminal and hit paste, enter"

So I asked for more info.

another email they might've used?
last 4 of the credit card?

They replied with a sketchy link (sorry, "an attachment")

A sneaky scam I've seen a few times now:

Someone writes into support to demand a refund for a duplicate charge.

"oh crap!"

But their email is nowhere in my system, nor is their name...

I remember like 4 of these 😂

Way back when

People used CDs
They were only 650mb
They measured size in minutes
They weren’t rewritable yet (or maybe I couldn’t afford those drives)
CompUSA was still a company

This hardened tile adhesive glue stuff (mastic?) comes off easy with a heat gun btw!

❌ sanding (no help)
❌ scraping (not great)
❌ water (did not soften)
✅ heat gun + scraping

Wear a P100 though! Smells like burning plastic.

TIL the angle on this framing nailer has the side effect (design?) that 3 1/4” nails won’t protrude if it’s held at that angle!

"Let's just beef up the floor before we install the tile"

At first I thought some random spammer had found my creatorblackfriday submission form

But it turns out no – @johnrushx.bsky.social just has an ungodly number of projects 😁

Thanks for the submissions John!

Don't just set the settings to MAXIMUM REMOVAL and hit export. (ok fine, maybe on TikTok)

You can get a nice relaxed pace by bumping the numbers a bit!

- Avoid quick jumpy cuts by filtering out the short pauses

- Leave further breathing room by padding out the edges of the pauses

Then you can
