Was reading the Ars article on the ASUS router backdoor, and it either got hit with the editing stick, or it's just terribly written.

The call to action for any potentially affected device is missing. How about a link to the FAQ with how to check the setting? Is having SSH off sufficient? Are all models affected, or just some? Other than riling people up and giving credit to a few firms, what's the takeaway here?

A few months ago, foolishly I attempted to transport my LEGO Orient Express train set set while it was still affixed to the tracks. I almost made it, but it, uh, had a rapid unscheduled disassembly when I dropped it and it hit the floor. I was in a hurry at the time, I was furious, so I just gathered up the pieces and put it away.

Today, I gathered them up with the instructions and put it back together. There are a few missing pieces, which I will just add to a future order. I might find them in the interim or I might not, but I'd rather just get them and have a few extras.

Me: This browser's tabs are acting weird and not letting me switch them. I wonder if the latest update is bad.

Also me: Oh, I was resting my hand on the ctrl key. Now everything works as expected.
