Usually, my job involves filtering out aggressive modern web scrapers, adding some obscure 2000s WAP browsers, or analyzing broken headers. But this week, the quarantine log caught an absolute legend.

It connects to the web using Marinetti, a brilliant, community-built TCP/IP stack written specifically for the system.

                                                                                                                                                The Engine: "Tool130" is the specific system tool extension within the Marinetti architecture that handles the TCP/IP protocols. It acts as the vital bridge, allowing early web browsers on the IIGS to talk to the servers of today.

We strip away the gigabytes of JavaScript, the bloated CSS frameworks, and the heavy encryption handshakes of the modern internet, returning pure, lightweight HTML. It proves that with a bit of proxy magic and a lot of passion, no computer is ever truly obsolete.

                                                                                                                                                To the anonymous retro-surfer who fired up their Apple IIGS, loaded the TCP/IP stack into RAM, and typed a query into FrogFind: We salute you!

                                                                                                                                                                                                              I'm seeing a very weird thing happening where * on * seems to be able to bypass or subvert restrictions set through , such as maximum time per app, or downtime restrictions.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              I'm wondering if this is a structural thing or just a one-off glitch. And if it is structural, I'm very interested how TikTok accomplishes OS level security bypasses for its app which comes from the official App Store.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              I totally get why the people who find ways to subvert such restrictions don't want to report these. This makes me wonder whether (if this is structural) Apple is aware this is happening. Or, if they are, why Apple doesn't make sure TikTok cannot bypass its security framework.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              Anyway, anybody already investigated this who can help me understand what's happening?

                                                                                                                                                                                                              PS: Tiktok has its own Screen Time filter included with Family Pairing, which makes sense, because then parents also need to have accounts on the platform. 🙄 tiktok.com/support/faq_detail?
