What is this and what does it do? This is a tool that takes any link and makes it look malicious. It works on the idea of a redirect. Much like https://tinyurl.com/ for example. Where tinyurl makes an url shorter, this site makes it look malicious. Place any link in the below input, press the button and get back a fishy(phishy, heh...get, it?) looking link. The fishy link doesn't actually do anything, it will just redirect you to the original link you provided.

Pokemon TCG Pocket's Pack Points System Needs an Overhaul Yesterday

Pokemon TCG Pocket is more than a mobile game: It's a money-making machine. The virtual trading card app raked in more than $900 million in its first six months, eclipsing even Pokemon Go's revenue in the same post-release time span. As it turns out, fake Pokemon cards are just as much of a hot commodity as the real thing. People love ripping open card packs, hunting down ones with their favorite illustrations of fan-favorite Pokemon. It feels great to beat the odds by pulling an elaborately-in

FTC Sues Ticketmaster Over ‘Deceptive’ Ticket Pricing Tactics

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-09-19 21:26:17

The FTC and seven states have sued Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation for allegedly “deceptive” ticket resale tactics, according to a press release Thursday. The federal regulatory agency says that Ticketmaster is “tacitly coordinating with brokers,” allowing them to buy millions of dollars worth of tickets, just to resell them at a higher cost to the person who actually wants to attend a given concert. The FTC says Ticketmaster is also aware of ticket brokers regularly bypassing s

The simple joy of catching and battling pocket monsters has always been enough for Pokemon to sell like gangbusters, but each new iteration still has some type of novel gimmick to shake up the gameplay -- and the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A includes one of the most popular ones ever introduced: mega evolutions. Mega evolutions made their debut in Pokemon X and Y over a decade ago, and they quickly proved to be one of the most appealing new features. These powerful Pokemon forms are temporary

The FTC is suing Ticketmaster for illegally ‘coordinating’ with brokers

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-20 09:37:40

The latest targets in the White House’s on-again-off-again antitrust war are Ticketmaster and Live Nation, two villains that everyone appears to agree on. The Federal Trade Commission is accusing Ticketmaster (which owns Live Nation) of allowing ticket brokers to illegally exceed limits on purchases and then profiting off the inflated resale value. Customers often pay significantly more than the face value because resellers have snatched up all the tickets. And when a ticket is resold through Ti

A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I tur

A MacBook Pro touchscreen? About damn time

It's somewhat ironic that Apple, the company that popularized the use of capacitive touchscreens with the iPhone and iPad, has been staunchly opposed to bringing our fingers anywhere near MacBook screens.
