At least the guys from your local post office will want to deliver it personally and shake your neck.

Got a new phone for my wife last Christmas. She opened the box, my 6-year-old son came near her while bouncing around (Christmas excitement), hit her, she dropped the phone, glass and a bit of LCD crashed. Total duty time without accident : 0 minute. 
We had to replace the LCD for 85€ ... for a 120€ phone. I do prefer repairing instead of buying new whenever possible, but ... damn.

My last two smart 'phones have been Cat - both IP 68. My previous two feature 'phones were also IP68. They all still work despite a very hard life - dropping, sinking, swimming, leaving in tropical sun for a couple of hours, even demonstrating their waterproofness in a tankard of ale. 
Pay more up-front, but all pretty much indestructible.

I have no idea why the emperor would send an inexperienced level 1 character on an important mission, but he did. 24 years ago and to this day not a single player can claim to have talked to every NPC or to have even seen more than 10% of the game's content.
Daggerfall had it all. Huge, randomly generated dungeons, an awkward UI, sluggish 320 x 200 software rendering and lots of bugs that could send your character into a very special plane of Oblivion.
Since B-Soft seems to have lost the source code of the game, this has never changed. Loyal servants of the emperor now have written a completely new game engine (in C#, as I heard) that uses Unity for rendering, fixed the bugs, added tons of new options, modernized the UI and now even allows mods.
So, if you are afraid of nothing, then get yourself Daggerfall Unity and serve the emperor (or not, it's up to you). Here is a video that explains where to get it, how to install it and explains all the options and mods. There is even a checkbox to let you see some boobs.

Come on. Installing takes only minutes. Let him show off what you get for your money.

There once was a greyhound named Bacchus[^],
Whose zoomies were really quite raucous,
But with his great snout,
He put on a sad pout,
For empty the treat box is.

I received a phishing email that's pretending to be from my cable provider.
However, the link they want me to click leads to the provider's legitimate domain!
it is https://www.xfinity.com
I can't understand how they are expecting to catch me if I go to Comcast's domain?
Does anyone have an idea?
EDIT:
I went into Windows Sandbox and went to the link. And it redirected me to a completely different domain - the scammer's domain!
How did it do that?
FURTHER EDIT:
OK I figured it out. This is the complete scam link:
https://www.xfinity.com/learn/signin-cima?code=0.ac.jHKtzD&state=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVsbGl4cy5jb20vP2Jz
You might notice that it very well hides the actual target domain name. That is ".ac" for the Ascension Islands.
I can see many people being fooled by this when they hover over the link in the email.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

So there's something in the signin-cima page that interprets the "code" and "state" parameters?

Maybe I'm wrong. What do you think is the reason that that link leads to a totally different domain?

I am very curious about this. Either it is an inside job, or domain resolution works far differently than I imagined.

Yep, it could be a really poorly created website that redirects based on the header.
Massive tsk tsk if that is the case.
Alternatively some 'clever' person has managed to post some sort of cross site scripting in their own personal details, having an account with the company, and somehow the state parameter causes the unintentional execution of the script leading to the redirect.

Thanks for sharing it (also investigating on how) - 
Also, this also tells that somehow your email was leaked from your cable operator office.

Not necessarily. Spammers send emails to everyone they can.

Probably a coincidence then spammers used that cable website and OP happens to have that connection.

It seems that the server side is taken over, or it is an inside job...
That page is not part of the UI, and returns differently on every combination of parameters...
