Ordered a 2600 print full back issue set + lifetime subscription. Scans are ok, but I want print. Pretty stoked about it. Can't be without them, happy to continue supporting the only magazine I've been buying consistently since the early 90s.
Here's an excellent article from 2600 Volume Fourty, Number Three on why a print magazine for hackers is still relevant, why print is harder to silence, and more.

I maintain that one of the pinnacles of privacy is the written word, more specifically, the handwritten letter.
Very hard to silence, censor etc. Especially if delivered outside the postal system.
✊🏼💯✊🏼
Use a typewriter to resist handwriting correlation attacks too :P
I mean, I guess so. I can't think of many situations where I might do that but if you didn't want any possible interceptors to know who sent it, sure.
I wouldn't consider it "written" though.

Super dope!
💯 Check out the 2001 doc they did on Kevin Mitnick. 2600 runs deep.
Share some pic when it arrives pls - so we can all admire
I never considered that print as a medium being harder to silence. Very smart.
Nostalgia hitting pretty hard right now, ngl 😢 #orangebook
There are also artificial physical neural networks around just to proove that you don‘t need to store them digitally:

I see you sniping me back ;)
The package is in the mail and on its way. Paid for 2 day shipping, so it should be here by Friday :)

Anyone here old enough to remember Cap'n Crunch?🤔🧐
There was a seminal article in one of the big glossy mags in late 60's / early 70's about DTMF hacking the phone system. I made myself a 2600 Hz whistle, experimented with using it to trigger disconnects. I used to dumpster dive at the local telco for hacker parts.🫂😆💜☎️
Good times!🔥🚀😁
I found a copy of the original article; will have to re-read it for nostalgia sake:
At the time, I didn't have the tech bones to actually build a Blue Box, so I hacked some whistles to the appropriate frequencies in order to fiddle around. Never did succeed at placing an international phone call, but I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the global phone system.🤔🧐😜😆
Whatever happened to Stank and the DDP crew?
cool
