    In an episode of Flaked, a character says his pin is "one eleven one", and there's something about that being easier to remember than "one one one one". I will say I think about "one eleven one" all the time, so maybe there's something to that (when I was a kid our house number was "eleven eleven")

    Still ok that they didn't blame China, Russia or North Korea yet. There was some time ago the concept of ECDL (European computing driving licence). I think the concept died when even "an idiot" could use "a computer".
