Daily old piece 11 (Easter edition part C)!
Tbfh this anime had one of the most disappointing endings in the history of anime and in retrospective it wasn't even that great, but I still like how this came out.
From 2021.
Turn off WEP on your Galaxy S25 to increase security
One of the new features introduced in the brand new Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S25, allows you to determine whether your phone is allowed to connect to Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Wi-Fi networks. Unfortunately, it’s turned on by default, despite the option that says that WEP is “an older security protocol that’s less secure.”
Over the years, people and security experts have constantly discouraged using WEP as a security protocol for Wi-Fi access points as it can be hijacked very easily due to weaknesses related to RC4 that were disclosed back in 2001. This document explained how such cipher, along with the initialization vector (IV), were exploited that resulted in a passive attack that could recover the RC4 key.
In general, WEP is insecure. Luckily, on your Galaxy S25, you can configure your smartphone to forbid connections to WEP-protected access points using this new configuration switch in the below menu:
Follow the steps to disallow connections to WEP networks:
Upon turning it off, your phone will no longer be able to connect to such networks. You’ll then be only able to connect to WPA-protected networks, especially those protected with WPA3. We recommend doing this after either obtaining the Galaxy S25 or updating your eligible device to One UI 7.
The best solution to those relying on those networks is to either switch to WPA3 protection if you’re managing them yourself, or contact your network administrator for more info. You can consult your router manual for more info about changing the network protection method.
Well, turns out it's a bit picky, but I did find a few cool games I could actually play on Windows 3.0.

Anfang der 90er war ich ein großer Fan des Windows Entertainment Packs, kurz "WEP" und besonders TETRIS war bei uns damals sehr populär als Tauschware in der Schule. Irgendwann flog dann mal ein "TETRIS 2.00" rum und wir alle dachten, das wäre jetzt der heiße, neue Scheiß ^^. Wirklich Sinn hatte es aber nie ergeben, da selbst später im 1994er "Best Of WEP" immer noch die "normale" Version dabei war. Trotzdem hatte ich diese 2.0er Version auch später immer mal wieder im Netz gesehen. Es war einfach verwirrend.
Letztens bin ich dann zufällig über eine sehr alte 5.25 Zoll WEP-Diskette gestolpert und konnte sie auslesen. Sie war einige Monate älter als alle Disketten, die ich bisher vom WEP hatte. Viele Dateien waren kleiner und im SETUP.EXE gab es einen auffälligen Bug. Also, die war definitiv ÄLTER! Und... da war dann plötzlich TETRIS.EXE in Version 2.00 dabei!
Und so löst sich nach 35 Jahren wieder mal ein altes Schulhof-Mysterium. Wahnsinn...

I usually don't add OEM CD-ROMs to my retro collection, but this one is such a perfect reference library of iconic Windows 3.x casual games, I get the feeling it needs to be preserved and shared. Among other stuff, it includes Microsoft's Arcade 1.0 and Entertainment Packs 1 to 4.

For some time in the early 90s, included in select 10-packs of Verbatim floppy disks, there was an 11th disk containing a few games taken from Microsoft's Entertainment Pack for Windows. Once part of a simple promo campaign, these disks have turned into sought-after collectibles for fans of classic "WEP" games.
I've had disk images of these samplers for a while now, both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, but only today I realized, they were also released with 5.25 inch disks. I really love these bigger diskettes, so I think this is awesome!
I could even find a working disk image on the Internet Archive. Have fun!

'Democracy' yeah?
Something that is too expensive for us mortals and doesn't go anywhere, why else do we think people are taking to direct action?

This is a shame. #WEP deserves to be given more airtime than these nazi fucks!! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/oct/26/womens-equality-party-to-vote-on-closing
'This should be the #ClimateElection. Instead we are in a frustrating, Farage-obsessed fantasyland
Bloviators and untruths continue to generate more news than common sense & the #environment. But some parties are trying to make a difference'
'In a sane world, [Sandy] Toksvig would be the political insurgent, because she’s saying what everyone is thinking, & Nigel Farage would be the entertainer, because, well, people seem to find him entertaining.'

Very happy that the #WomensEqualityParty #WEP has endorsed #SianBerry for #Brighton in the #UKGeneralElection
And yet who gets more air time than say, the Greens?
The Woman's Equality Party got a seat, where are the articles about that?
Well the Patriarchal UK Media may be ignoring it but Mastodon is a buzz with Sandi Toksvig's "Women's Equality Party" taking their first councillor in Basingstoke, on more than 60% of the vote!
Congratulations to Stacy Hart
UNUSUAL COUNCIL WARD ELECTION RESULT:
Hatch Warren (BASINGSTOKE & DEANE):

This is the first WEP councillor ever elected.
Changes with 2021 election.

At some point in the early 90s, Verbatim would give away free Microsoft games with every pack of 1.44MB floppy disks. I was always a fan of the "Windows Entertainment Pack" and these disks are fun collector's items indeed!
