I had a call from a scammer the other day.

Me: "Hello."

Scammer: (Heavy Foreign Accent) "Hello. This is Tom Smith from Microsoft Support. We are seeing a lot of virus activity coming from your device."

Me: "Oh no. My device? Are you sure?"

Scammer: "Oh yes, Madam. We have many reports."

Me: "Oh, jeez. How can I fix it?"

Scammer: "It's okay, Madam. We can help you right now. Are you in front of your device?"

Me: "Yes. I was just about to use it. I'm glad you called."

Scammer: "Good, Madam. Please push the Start button."

Me: "I think it's already on."

Scammer: "Okay, Madam. Now click on Control Panel."

Me: "I don't see that."

Scammer: "Do you see a bunch of information above the Start button?"

Me: "Yes."

Scammer: "That is your Control Panel."

Me: "Wow. I didn't realize it had a name."

Scammer: "Yes, Madam. Now press Internet Options."

Me: "I don't see any Internet options. I don't think I bought that feature. This is just a cheap one."

Scammer: "All devices have Internet, Madam. Press the Start button again."

Me: "Okay. Same as before."

Scammer: "That's fine, Madam. We will restart your device. Please turn it off."

Me: "Um… I don't know how. I've never turned it off. It kind of just stays on."

Scammer: "There must be an off button. How do you stop it when it's running?"

Me: "I usually press the big button."

Scammer: "Okay, Madam. Press that button."

Me: "Okay."

Scammer: "Is your device off?"

Me: "No. The door popped open."

Scammer: "Door? Is there a disc inside?"

Me: "No. There's a burrito."

Scammer: "Why is there a burrito in your computer?"

Me: "Computer? I thought you said this was microwave support."

That's very cool, and I'm glad it worked out so well for you. I don't know why this was sent to the FL, either.

I used AI to build a KDC Dark mode Firefox extension.

This site has been punching me in the retinas for over a decade, and this morning I said enough is enough. For people like me that look at screens literally all day, this feature is becoming a necessity on anything I look at, and it makes me upset when it's not offered.

So, this morning, I fired up Claude code and asked him if he could build a Firefox extension to fix the CSS on my side. And it said absolutely.
About an hour later (we had to go through about 15 iterations) and I have a working Mozilla Firefox extension that turns KDC into night mode.
I addressed all the key parts of the site from the Forum, to classified to news. and its working pretty good for now.
I made it publicly available on GitHub if you want to try it out github.com/zman-six/ kingwood-dark-mode . I'm going to try to get in the Mozilla extension library also.

Here are few screenshots of how it looks.

I feel like I should say THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY OFFICIAL KDC STUFF....its just something I made to entertain myself and improve my own work flows, if you find it useful too, that's cool.

500 credits sent!

I requested a review of your post being fastlaned. I don't see a problem with it either, but I guess we'll see.
