my first cable box didn't look like that, it was a black Scientific Atlantica that was all black, had rubber buttons on top, and a red led on front for the channel numbers. I still remember the channels! 22 was Nickelodeon, 29 was MTV, 36 was Showtime, 6 was HBO, 37 was Playboy and 38 was Spice (more hardcore than Playboy). this was in NYC so ymmv then they changed the station numbers in the late 90s and I never memorized them after that. actually I never memorized any station numbers even when I got my own place and had cable and fios anyway I remember one day when I was like 12 desperately trying to see the spice channel and I kept flipping one station before and one station after it because you could kind of see a black and white wavy boob for half a second and I must have done it 100 times and it actually stuck! I must have brute forced the poo poo or did some guerilla style stack overflow because all of a sudden I was watching it crystal clear for what had to be 2 minutes but felt like four hours and I got so scared that if I left it any longer it would have shown up on our bill. only 90s kids remember!

My first successful hack was guessing the password of my high school's netnanny software on the library computers, it was just the initials of the school district My second successful hack was guessing the password of my friend's Geocities page, his password was "poop"

I remember figuring out that on windows xp if you spammed delete or F1 or something during POST you could bypass the login screen but not be in safe mode and that's how I survived being grounded from the computer for a few weeks the day after buying age of empires II and dying to play it actually it may have been Jedi outcast or Star Wars Battlegrounds

the first hack i did was to bypass the bios bootup password, which would beep if you entered an incorrect key but didn't lock you out after x failed attempts. it might have been to look at porn on the internet but there wasn't a lot of internet porn at the time so it was probably just video games i did get owned one time downloading some video of a naked woman covering herself in syrup, my mom brought home a disk from work that had a video file she needed to watch, but she actually had a shortcut to that video file, so she opened it on the computer at home and windows media player said "welp that file doesn't exist, here's the last file you opened" and it played that video and then i got in a bunch of trouble. i tried to explain what happened to her but she didn't want to hear it.

I learned to hack in diablo 1 because there was zero anti-cheat and everyone did it. my favorite was a hacked resurrect spell that healed for negative HP so they'd revive and immediately die. fun times.

what kind of sheltered nerds are in this thread  "woods" porn comes from somebody stealing magazines from some relative/father that they (inexplicably) have a large collection of hidden away for some reason and stashing it in the woods, sharing it with some friends, and then those friends tell other friends, etc etc, the community woods porn library forms one of my friend's dad had a ton of like hardcore magazines "hidden" in the bathroom, and Im pretty sure some of those made their way out

Kind of sad that I'm probably part of the last generation to secretly wank it to the Playboys hidden in the back of dad's closet.
