Lisa Office System 1.0, 1983. You tore a sheet off a stationery pad instead of launching an app, an idea the Mac dropped.

ZacOS 9 is a complete Mac OS 8/9-style desktop for Debian Linux, drawn pixel by pixel from scratch. The window manager, Sniffer file browser, menu bar and every control panel were written, so everything looks and behaves alike, down to the scroll arrows. sourceforge.net/projects/zac…

❗️ Lenovo's ThinkPlus FU100 fingerprint stick was marketed as "hardware encrypted" with AES-256, but inside was an ordinary SD card with nothing encrypted. The fingerprint only switched on the USB link, researcher Xusheng Li found. Lenovo's stopgap fix covered the card in epoxy.

Yes, you can even play Breakout on the iPod on the Apple Music 404 webpage. Settings > About > Hold the centre button until the game appears Breakout was an easter egg on the original iPod in 2001. I remember playing it! The easter egg is even sweeter because Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs developed the game in the 70s. The 1976 Atari game was first prototyped and programmed by @stevewoz and assisted by Jobs.

Disney did a very poor job at hiding Cranium Command in 2007 when Wonders of Life 'reopened' as Festival Center The facade was stripped but partially reused and only curtains 'covered' the queue
