Why would he do this
Gizmodo was bought out by a bucket of shitheads that clearly dont have their IT sorted, so it sounds like he did this out of a sense of mischief and curiosity.
It’s a fun IT story he got on leaving a bad org. Sounds like a win for a tech writer.
Why not?
I want this headline art turned into a slack emoji. I want to add it to my company slack
Reminds me of the time I found a professor’s lanyard (not the ID) in college and would just wave it around. Half the time, security shrugged and let me through without scanning my ID.
Too bad it wasn’t a chemistry professor with access to the lab
