I know it signed me out a minute ago when I was in the middle of a stream.

Yep, went out on both Android and iDevice so they lost the keys to something core...  :down:

I guess F1 themselves pulled the plug on things when they saw those messages... At least with what the messages said this is not likely to be Kaseya.

What did they say?

 

First "foo", aka "does this work?"

And then "Hmmmmm, I should check my security. :)"

So not serious actors ...

Igora Drive was a red herring; it's actually two races a year at Sochi for the next decade.

(Hackers. Russian. Obvs).

I absolutely S*** myself, uninstalled the app and was in the process of changing ALL my passwords when I decided to maybe check reddit and see if maybe this wasn't just me hahaha 

 

I think Foo was short for "Football's coming home" as it was during the England game, think it was after the first goal.

https://searchapparc...are-programming

 

"Foo (pronounced FOO) is a term used by programmers as a placeholder for a value that can change, depending on conditions or on information passed to the program. Foo and other words like it are formally known as metasyntactic variables. It can be helpful to use metasyntactic variables when creating sample code because programmers don't have to create unique names for each variable value. Nonsense placeholders make it easier to focus on the code's core concept and functional goal"

For today's race! 🤣

While we're at it, why not announce they decided to run counterclockwise!

They had the chance to do something really funny there. Missed opportunity!

At least confirm Raghunathan as Ferrari 3rd driver or something!
