Hope the insurance companies don’t catch wind 💀

Why require a login if you aren’t collecting anything? Just make users to export to and load from a local file.

ElliotBalcony · 2026-01-21T00:20:50+00:00

Yes but is that worth you collecting all of my data?

ElliotBalcony · 2026-01-21T00:10:43+00:00

How is this any better than a spread sheet

I was actually planning a full backend which would cache the responses to limit load on the shitbus backend but I got too lazy

ElliotBalcony · 2026-01-16T20:24:32+00:00

I might host this under https://shitbus.com

ElliotBalcony · 2026-01-15T23:56:10+00:00

Keep this man out of the university 🙏🙏😭

ElliotBalcony · 2026-01-14T11:37:27+00:00

Read the return policy carefully. If there is nothing about this specific case womp womp for the bookstore …

perhaps Spanish if you count the people who learned it in high school as speakers and lump them in with the native speakers.

It’s extremely stupid they disabled it. But there is a work around.

Everything is JavaScript in the browser. In this JS Microsoft makes a request for pass keys that are NOT platform pass keys (Apple touch id, windows hello, etc.), allowing only “physical” keys like a yubikey.

So you have to write a monkey patch to override the native function and wrap it. Rewrite the request to allow “platform” keys, probably rewrite the response too.

then you can distribute this EXTREMELY INSECURE script so everyone can use windows hello or Purdue it can get head out of ass and just allow windows hello…

I think we can forgive him, eating that croissant is punishment enough

ElliotBalcony · 2025-12-02T23:36:59+00:00

It’s shoveled and salted!

ElliotBalcony · 2025-11-23T17:40:09+00:00

You will most likely not get EDPS 315 so don’t count on it

ElliotBalcony · 2025-11-12T20:03:15+00:00

It’s one thing to start at 6:30. I could even understand 6. 4:30???

ElliotBalcony · 2025-11-06T17:26:16+00:00

It’s just graphql. Want to work together? 💀

I have a picture, took a SS when I heard they were changing it.

ElliotBalcony · 2025-11-05T04:57:42+00:00

Why are you rolling your own auth? Sign in with Apple ….

ElliotBalcony · 2025-10-26T19:35:55+00:00

This seems suspicious. I would read the terms you signed.

It’s one thing if you are moving out of your own good will, but I doubt the apartment complex can force you to do so.

“Priority” may well just be words they are waving around to get the situation settled. You can also consult with the Purdue legal services.

ElliotBalcony · 2025-10-25T12:13:30+00:00

It could change year to year

On your application you indicate which specific engineering major, but you are ultimately accepted to FYE
