Notes
  1. The final was stopped at 2 sets all due to bad light and the final set was played on 15 September during the Grow Professional Doubles Championship in The Woodlands, TX, USA.
gollark: It's got a `ps` command, which apparently just passes on whatever you pass it to the shell (???) so you can do `ps ; sh` and, well, get root access.
gollark: I've got an unused ADSL routermodemboxthing which you could get a root shell on with a really trivial exploit in its telnet interface (because of course it has that).
gollark: I wouldn't really trust that for anything sensitive, since routery things tend to be *horribly* insecure.
gollark: They do mesh networking? Very neat.
gollark: We have a bad BT consumer router thing at home, which has a disappointing lack of graphs and indeed any status monitoring features whatsoever.
