once upon a time i did some security auditing for a wifi stack, right
and i determined that i could absolutely crash this one wifi stack if i made it connect to an access point that had an emoji in its name (no one fucking understands how to unicode i stg)
bird guy & i thought this was hilarious so when we moved in together we of course used an emoji for our wifi network name...
...only to discover the playstation 3 has the same fucking bug and it bootloops if you try to make it connect to an emoji network so. we had to change it. to something. the stupid stupid ps3 could handle bahahaha
