Time to hack the vending machine snd delete all the partitions off of it and render it unusable

Why bother hacking it? Just destroy it.

Yeah but this is the University of Waterloo we're talking about here. This hit Canadian mainstream media CTV News so I know that. Also for an university specializing in Engineering and Mathematics there's a shit ton of cameras around

Also, I'm not sure if this is the same in Canada as the US, but I'm pretty sure that in many cases, vandalism is considered a much lesser crime than unauthorized computer tampering/hacking
