Google certified the boxes, the manufacturer installed a backdoor, and 1.3 million customers got an involuntary side hustle as residential proxies. Now the botnet is disconnected, but the malware remains and Play Protect is still disabled. Apparently »certified« just means the box passed inspection before it started spying.
It’s not a common term outside its niche. If you’re not in the industry, you’ll mostly see it used in pull request reviews by people who have professional backgrounds. Looks like it actually originated with Google.

G: lgtm ✅
How do I read “lgtm”? Legitimate?
“Looks good to me.” It’s a standard phrase used when signing off on changes.
“Let’s get this money” is how I read it.
Thanks. As an ESL, somehow I never come across that short form despite being online as a teenager since the 00s.
It’s mostly used in code reviews, I wouldn’t say it’s general online slang.
Tbh, English is my first language and I didn’t know that one either… And I’ve also been online since I was a teenager in the aughts.

I always thought it meant “Let’s get this merged”! 😆 Turns out I read this wrong for years.
Unless you’re on git, then the meaning shifts :^)
