Parker Banks (npub1g55…xdg2) "dicking around" doesn't constitute playful cleverness.

You hack the wood in a playfully clever manner to make the furniture or you hack on the computer to write the free OS.

If you crack security, that is cracking, although some kinds of cracking does require hacking to pull off, but of course the media cannot understand that guessing that a password is "password" is not hacking, but is cracking, while doing something clever like working out that passing an empty password field to the ME backdoor interface allowed admin control is both cracking and hacking, although would still be best described as a "empty password authentication bypass".
