Li Jianrou is so popular right now... But her miraculous gold-medal victory was actually predicted by a Tieba netizen! Unbelievable! " Don't Worry, Watch My Godly Prediction " Posted: 2014-02-13 19:29 Race starts: Korea first, Italy second, UK third, China fourth. After one lap, Italy and UK both fall while scrambling for position. The Korean looks back, overjoyed at the sight, fails to see the curve ahead and crashes into the wall. Finally, China wins gold. What actually happened? Based on careful observation of the Google+ video: China's Li Jianrou #111 (red suit), Italy's Arianna Fontana #124 (black suit with white accents), Korea's Park Seung-hi #138 (dark blue suit), UK's Elise Christie #116 (half-black, half-white suit). At 6.3 seconds into the video, the order is #138, #124, #116,...

The Legend of Class 63 — Summit of No.2 High School: Reverse Engineering and Easter Egg Hunt in the Demon Tower Game
These nights I've been attending chemistry Olympiad classes. During yesterday's session, our chemistry teacher invited several seniors to share their experiences. As they chatted, they mentioned a Demon Tower game they developed in their free time — "The Legend of Class 63: Summit of No.2 High School". Such an impressive game with Hangzhou No.2 High School elements naturally made me curious about its Easter eggs. Instead of playing through, reverse engineering seemed more efficient. The seniors mentioned using RPG Maker XP. Easy enough — downloaded it from http://xiazai.zol.com.cn/detail/43/426737.shtml Noticing the 9MB Game.rgssad file, I tried opening it with 7-Zip. No luck. The file properties revealed: Encrypted? Interesting....

The Dumbest Code Mistake: A Tragedy Caused by a Single Space
Bumblebee is an auxiliary tool for NVidia graphics cards on the Linux platform. It enables NVidia cards to utilize Optimus technology, allowing laptops to render with dedicated graphics while displaying through integrated graphics—essentially hardware-accelerated graphics switching. This is an extremely useful tool, but it once suffered a severe bug (though three years ago) where a single space caused the deletion of the /usr directory for a large number of Ubuntu users. It happened during a Git update, with changes in install.sh : @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ # You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License # along with bumblebee.

The Course Selection System Sucks
The school's course selection system opened at 12:00 for club sign-ups, using a snatching mechanism—limited spots, first-come-first-served. Having used this system before for elective courses, I logged in early (no courses were displayed yet). Starting at 11:59:30, I kept refreshing the page repeatedly, waiting for the courses to appear. At exactly 12:00, the courses popped up. I immediately clicked on my desired club. Instantly, a window flashed on the screen: "Registration failed! Schedule conflict!" Upon closer inspection: The club sessions were all scheduled for Monday and Tuesday's eighth period (though not actually at that time), while my previous electics occupied Monday/Tuesday/Thursday's seventh-eighth periods and Wednesday's fifth-sixth periods. Total conflict... Later,...

North Korean Samjiyon Tablet Ends Up on eBay Auction!
North Korea developed "independently researched" Android phones , and even created Samjiyon tablets targeting foreign tourists . Where there are products for sale, curious buyers will emerge. And where there are buyers, resellers follow after they've had their fun. On November 7, 2013, a North Korean Samjiyon tablet appeared on the renowned international auction site eBay, with a starting bid of $4.15. Reportedly, the auction account was Canadian with a shipping address in Yanji—right on the North Korean border. It's unclear whether a Canadian was temporarily staying in China after visiting North Korea, or if a Chinese resident used some unusual methods. Regardless of the seller's identity, this tablet—though slightly downgraded with a 1GHz CPU (originally 1.2GHz),...

【In My Lifetime】Typecho 0.9 Alpha Finally Released
Yesterday afternoon, I got home and opened Feedly, and saw an article about Typecho 0.9 on Jiang's Blog . What? Typecho actually updated in my lifetime!? I immediately opened the Typecho Official Website and saw that clean default theme of TE. I remember the official site didn't look like this before. The post started with just one sentence: "Yes, you haven't entered the wrong website. This simple place is indeed the official website of Typecho."... So I immediately downloaded, updated, and installed. The update method is simple: log in to FTP, delete the admin and var directories and index.php , upload these files from version 0.9, and then update the database in the backend. When I opened the login page, I instantly felt it was high-end, grand, and classy. It's said that TE 0....
Adding HTML5 and CSS3 Support for IE
Since I started this blog, I never considered the experience of IE users. At that time, my browser was Firefox, and the only use I had for IE was to download Firefox. Now I use Chrome on Windows, Chrome on Mac, and Opera on my phone. I thought I could bid farewell to IE compatibility forever. But I didn't expect to be defeated by the electronic reading room at Hangzhou No. 2 High School. Firefox installer: 20MB. Chrome installer: 30MB. They don't seem large, right? But the electronic reading room apparently uses QoS for smoother web browsing. QoS is fine, but it has bugs—the average speed per machine there is 50Kbps. With only half an hour of internet access per visit, spending over ten minutes downloading a browser is truly frustrating! Additionally,...

Host1Free Strikes Again to Prevent VPS Idling: Monthly Renewal Required
Eight months ago, Host1Free cleaned up a large number of idle users by shutting down their VPSes . Now, H1F has introduced another tough measure: requiring users to enter a verification code monthly to renew their service, or risk VPS deletion. Two weeks after each renewal, you'll receive an email for the next month's renewal. You must complete the renewal within two weeks of receiving the email, otherwise your VPS will be suspended. If you fail to renew within an additional week, your data will be permanently deleted. Additionally, this notification email was once again found in the spam folder......

Installation, Usage, and Bug Fixes for gogoCLIENT on Windows 8.1
Half a year ago, when I was still using Ubuntu, I achieved interoperability between IPv4 and IPv6 using an XP virtual machine + gogoCLIENT . Today, when I tried to install gogoCLIENT (hereinafter referred to as GC) on Windows 8.1, I encountered a bizarre bug. Download link: http://www.gogo6.com/profile/gogoCLIENT (account registration required). When I launched the installer, GC immediately gave me a harsh welcome: The solution was straightforward: Right-click the installer, change the compatibility mode to Vista, and the main program will run without issues. After installation, I launched the main program, entered the previously used hg.tfn.net.tw , and connected. After 10 seconds, a notification popped up indicating a successful connection. But when I checked the network connections,...
