I reset the phone and the option for changing the PIN appeared. Of course it also shut me out of literally all Microsoft content (e-mail, store, whatever) because it's 8.1. I have to install an upgrade program on my PC to install Windoes 10 on the phone via USB I think. At least that should be possible so great.

My WP Nokia Lumia was awesome when compared to iPhones and Android in 2012 and I won't hear otherwise.

Worst loving piece of poo poo phone I’ve ever had. Nothing worked including the microphone. A phone so bad it made me buy an iphone.

Who's laughing now I read a story back in the aftermath of the dotcom collapse that claimed the chairs were often the largest remaining value in the companies when the bankrupcy auctions started ... making them arguably the best investments they made.

Because themes were made in xml and I read that XML is related to HTML, I taught myself HTML when I was 12(?). A bunch of twists and turns, and a few careers later I'm working as a software engineer in the web app space. I owe everything to a desire to create some lovely skin and a misunderstanding of XML

PROFESSIONALS STILL DO THAT NOW!" And that's how I got into web application security testing where I abuse the fact servers accept the dumbest information from me.

Minor amusement - working on restoring some old systems, and replacing a 40mb HDD with a 4gb HDD, the size difference was... amusing.

It's actually just porn https://www.mobygames.com/game/marginal-storys NSFW obviously. Today I also learned that Moby Games apparently allows you to also upload porn as long as its screenshots from a game.
