I was the HBIC of Dave & Buster’s arcade for a few years. The big halo shooter game was bugging out with some auto updates from a USB drive. So I just called the people directly and asked them for a command line.
I used a small wireless keyboard the size of an old 360 controller keyboard. So it took me maybe a minute to type the whole thing after getting Internet access to the fucking thing(a project in itself). When I hit enter a crowd started forming with oohhhhs and awwws. I’m a hardware person, I can multimeter stuff and solder replacement components (which is apparently magic to the store manager cause we stopped buying whole replacement boards). But know absolutely dick all about programming other than an intro to SQL class in college that I’m sure I’ve forgotten most of by know. And there was more than one “to dawg he’s hacking like the movies!”
I’m sure some thought I was programming but there was at least two dumb fucks that thought I was hacking. Like what am I going to hack from an arcade shooting game‽
Fake as fk, no one think it’s hacking, they think it’s programming
They think hacking is when you rapidly type while stuff flashes across the screen
This is definitely it.
