Fucking it up for the rest of us
His hat is only white because he got to test this a bunch before exposing the vulnerability.
When I found a loophole for cheap Wendy’s food, I absolutely abused it a dozen times as a poor college student. It involves receipts and going to different Wendy’s.
Hey I think every white hat deserves some leniency in their Robin Hooding haha.
In this case this is fucked up. Let people wash dammit
I (white boy) visited India in the early '90s and brought back a bunch of rolls of half-Rupee coins as souvenirs. Turns out they were the exact same weight and diameter as US quarters (even down to the number of ridges, which makes me suspect India bought a bunch of used US minting machines to make them), so I started using them at laundromats. The exchange rate at the time was 35 Rs to the dollar, so a load in the US that normally cost $1 was costing me less than 6 cents. I do feel bad for the harassment that actual Indian customers probably ended up receiving, although possibly the owners never noticed or cared.
Here’s a reminder that most washing machines use a universal key, which you can buy online for like $5. You can just pop it open and hit the little “coin inserted” switch to make it think you paid.
Just hope they don’t have cameras.
Steal those too
I had free laundry for most of my freshman year of college. We had coin operated machines, and somebody quickly figured out that you can strip 2 wires and just touch them together, or touch a coin to both of them, and every time you did that the machine would think a coin had been inserted. Eventually the college caught on and one day I went down there and all the machines were taken apart with maintenance guys working on them, and after that there was a heavy duty housing for the coin acceptor with no exposed wires. It was nice while it lasted!
There used to be this music festival in my college town and they liked to charge absurd money for “tokens” to use at the vendors. I didn’t use all of them but I found they worked in the parking meters (I think they detected as slugs, because they immediately gave me an hour and flashed the meter) but nobody in the city bothered to ticket me for it. I dunno, I felt kinda bad but at the same time, I don’t like to parallel park.
For what its worth, I paid more for the tokens than I ever did parking.
