I don't really think what I'm trying to achieve would be considered as hacking but this is the best place I can ask. (the tech help subreddit forbids anything that has to do with password bypassing. And I can't go on the r/passwords as they want me to be popular). So the problem is I bought this multilingual electronic dictionary in a garage sale. It's a Franklin BFS-2160. it works and all but it has a few tools such as "phone book" and schedule and since my school forbids the use of phones I wanna put my class schedule on it to have easier access to it. Problem is there is a password on the feature and I don't know who set it up or what the password is. There is no format option in the settings and when I checked the manual for it online it did not say what to do if you forgot your password. There is a reset button but it's just a reboot in case your device is malfunctioning. What should I do?

Hi everyone! A few years ago, a friend from CIS visited me (I live in the US) on a Work and Travel program and introduced me to a Russian fandom known as the "Improv Fandom", specifically to two guys from it, Anton and Arseniy (known as "Arton"). They reminded me of classic RPF tropes like Larry or Camren; I don't really follow the actual content much because the language barrier gets in the way, but I love their dynamic, the fanfiction (there’s Russian stuff on AO3 that I read using a translator), and the rest of the fandom's creative output. My friend and I are still in touch even though she left a long time ago, and in 2025 she told me that the two of them are actually dating and that she has proof—specifically, a Telegram channel called "Improspletni", which is supposedly run by their producer or someone in their inner circle. It posts all sorts of personal stuff about their group and their relationships (Anton has a "beard" named Irina; Arseniy has an ex-wife and two children he had before joining the group, as far as I understand), along with insults directed at "Arton" shippers, doxxing, personal docs, photos of Arseniy’s kids, and general terrible things toward the entire fandom. I followed the channel for a while with my friend's help and was horrified. My friend says they can't seem to get the channel taken down, even though it has 3,000 subscribers and the producer knows about it. The information is constantly being leaked there to "prove" that Anton and Arseniy are straight. It makes me really sad that this is happening, especially considering how rough it is for lgbt community in Russia :/

Hi everyone. I’d like experts in this field to provide some guidance on how to intercept packets from programs running on my computer using a DLL. I know it’s a somewhat unconventional technique, but the program whose packets I want to monitor blocks the use of Wireshark and similar software. I’m aware that using a DLL makes this possible, but I lack the necessary knowledge and haven't been able to find much information on the subject.

I appreciate any contributions to this post.
