  1. Just wanted to share, I've been on an Empyrion Galactic Survival kick for a little while now and they just released a pretty neat update. I am currently playing on the UnknownSkies server and the folks there are pretty nice and helpful. They have some other servers as well, unknownskies.com has all the info.

    More about Empyrion, it's basically minecraft, rust, and space engineers all got together and had a baby. The game can be challenging and you get to build anything you set your mind and time to. You also have to mine resources and manage food and oxygen, it's pretty cool. I will link the steam page when I get home, I can't get to it while at work :-(

    Cheers!

  2. I've never had someone ask to see my phone or laptop when going through customs, maybe I don't travel enough to have run into it. I also don't agree with the "if you have nothing to hide" mentality, granted, I don't have anything to hide, but I'm not fond of the idea of people poking into my personal life without good reason other than "we can".

    Instead of hacking their system, maybe take the time to learn about it, if it is bluetooth, ask someone at the school. Brush up on your SE skills, talk to the system people that run the PA system, learn about it, and if it is bluetooth, ask them of you can test something, such as connecting to it. Then show them if you find a flaw. This whole "how do I hack my school" isn't so much black hat or white hat. Its how and what you do. If you act maliciously as in "I want to hack my school" without purpose, ie: malicious intent, then no, we don't condone that, but surely can't stop you. But if it's "I want to know how this system works and what I can do with it, can I test this theory xyz" and you're working with someone from staff or the school, then it's a different situation. As I say a lot, learning is not a crime. What you do may be, and that is on you. How you go about it, makes the world of difference. Tinkering and curiosity is how we learn. Just be responsible, and in all situations, cover your bases, because if some ass hat at school turns around and does it maliciously after you show them how it's done, you're the one going to get in trouble if you aren't going through the right channels and being up front about it. Hopefully they encourage you to learn about it in the process, vs getting yourself into trouble.

    100% this ;-)
