asciilifeform: for my purposes, a proper break is when i can load in arbitrary firmware in place of the vendor's. ☟︎
cnomad: If someone popped this chip, I'd value it at _least_ 200k USD. we're talking about invasive analysis that requires equipment, weeks of non-stop work, and experience ☟︎
cnomad: i mean
cnomad: so if you question my identity i'll give you the non hashed text
cnomad: ok here's a sha512sum for now, i'll regsiter w/ your bot a bit later
asciilifeform: ( how am i to know whom to pay ? and if the magic answer is sent plaintext, it will land in the fleanode nsa trap and immediately get shared with the enemy. )
asciilifeform: so, for example, i am considering declaring a btc bounty for cr50 break. but it will only be available to folks in the wot, for the very obvious reason .
cnomad: i see
cnomad: i don't want to develop reputation, just wanna say hi and observe
asciilifeform: cnomad: then i will rate you, and you will be able to speak when there is no one to manually give you voice.
asciilifeform: hence how you found article, i will guess. good.
cnomad: i don't use google
cnomad: I knew about it before, and when I did it was curious noone wrote about it then
asciilifeform: ha i use tl866 right here
cnomad: currently working on liberating a tl866a programmer, but mostly i do RE and pwning for various security chips
cnomad: I don;t have any _specific_ qs at the moment, but i do some IC and firmware RE. I don't even know what this channel is about before joining
asciilifeform: ( imho would be interesting to try hard xray, but currently i dun have with what. )
ave1: asciilifeform, no I did not get the board, it seems to me a standard pcie x4 slot and cards for these can be easily had locally
mircea_popescu: moar like backtop, as in https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/22/42/e62242f22f740b99d2206ae187d3eb6d.jpg
ave1: aha, yes I did not try to order the 4g version (also the 2g version is twice as expensive on the german amazon)
asciilifeform: i was never able to locate the 4g ver of the 3328
ave1: as an aside, I've been readin the google code for the cr50 but I also did not find any obvious holes so far
ave1: I ordered this one, https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-4gb-single-board-computer, today. It supports a pcie 4 lane card, so I will try to use it for a desktop replacement.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, i think it is important to MAKE THIS A DIFFERENTIATION POINT.
asciilifeform: ( which , i get, dun matter worth a shit for mircea_popescu's applications. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: display can be sourced, i actually have several 'naked' display here for experiments. the bulk of the headache is the kbd , chassis, power. any way you cut it, chassis becomes a multi-kg monster 'luggable'
asciilifeform: and if i had lost it, would be a bitch to replace
mircea_popescu: heck, some actuallty even have gauge on themselves. i've seen this. it's not expensive or hard to make.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i didn;t mean VOLTMETER. i meant, separate doohickey.
asciilifeform: sorta why i dislike them
asciilifeform: expense is not the issue, but rather the 'how much battery do i have' indicator.
asciilifeform: what can i say, i like to work out of doors
mircea_popescu: i haven't identified a use for laptop yet besides "dumbphone replacement for aspiring slavegirls".
asciilifeform: re costs -- can't speak for other folx, but i'd happily pay, say, $1k , for a proper arm64 lappy
mircea_popescu: i mean, it's the same thing, but at least mine got tits.
mircea_popescu: i think i like mine better.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 14:45 phf: it's good. i went up to new paltz (upstate new york) for rock climbing and to see an old friend.
asciilifeform: aha, with caveats (i.e. 1 or 2 in 10 boards will crack and die)
mircea_popescu: i suppose you just buy a live-in slavegirl to do the job eventually.
mircea_popescu: oh, also, lest i forget : see alf ? you just don't do the upping correctly, is all.
mircea_popescu: and in other "only in this country" lulz, i see a dark halfinch long form squrrying under the bottle washer behind the kitchen skin tap. so i'm all, you know if you've ever lived in new york, or buenos aires, or generally a large town, "fuck you, you little bitch" kill! kill! kill! mode.
mircea_popescu: these idiots (project something or the other, i forget) spent ten years to reach this pinnacle ; and the whole time wondering why their ~server~ can't hold more than five or so people connected.
mircea_popescu: the only problem is... i don't actually know how.
mircea_popescu: i have half a mind to somehow extract it for display
phf: mircea_popescu: that as always makes a lot of sense. i knew that the original was an area in germany, but i didn't give much further thought to the obvious modification
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823749 << i'll bite. what was it ☝︎
phf: it's good. i went up to new paltz (upstate new york) for rock climbing and to see an old friend. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i'm just going by the stereotype. he dun look like jackie brown, he's not enjoying a +ev situation with usg.whatever.
asciilifeform: well tbh i dun know the amstan d00d at all, can't say precisely whose type
asciilifeform: i doubt that he has any political thought process at all
mircea_popescu: that's 100% what the shitstack is ; and i bet you amstan for instance is in shock over there in his silent dounce corner, "omfg, these people are impressed ~negatively~ with my political committments ?!?!?! they despisew me ?!!??! how could this be omfg"
asciilifeform: well i dun want to work at foxconn either, lol
mircea_popescu: mr "oh i don't wanna work for google to pay 5x in rent what their salary is". or we dun remember that now ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, really ? because last i heard, from tu quoque no less, he... wasn't making payroll.
asciilifeform: this tsar is still making payroll, last i heard
mircea_popescu: i thought you were having fun!
mircea_popescu: i can tell you'll be real popular here.
asciilifeform: i mean, they're world's largest , supposedly, foundry.
mod6: and i finally digested this turdbag of a log
asciilifeform: aaand i found the maker
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ok, i'm skipping the rest of this swiftgeek barf, it's indigestible. << i sloged through it :D
asciilifeform: for extra lulz, this box is ~off~ presently, while i talk to its cr50
mircea_popescu: my slaves are my slaves because i can kill them whenever i feel like ; and my computers my computers because i can turn them off.
mircea_popescu: tbh i find this entire "can't turn off" bs as the originating quanta of offense.
asciilifeform: ( homo redditicus still thinks 'hey i own the box' because pulling battery lets you rewrite the cpu's boot rom )
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 22:58 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i still find it lulzy how google apparently banked on nobody outside of their heathen pit getting hold of the fucking debug hose.
mircea_popescu: i suspected something like this. but now i see it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why do you suppose i asked for xray, lol, earlier today.
asciilifeform: but somehow i suspect that 'b4' is one of the pads.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i don't expect pulling up all the pins one at a time will brick the machine, do you ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823266 << i've seen it also ; it's something else. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 22:32 asciilifeform: it'd be one thing if, say, google dev showed up and 'yes i'ma pgp to mircea_popescu the magic key', or even 'here's the schem'. but nooo, instead they come to 'explain' to us how 'tpm can be used to benefit you' .
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823258 << yeah, this "i'll live on my own terms" bs is pretty fucking outrageous, isn't it. ☝︎
Mocky: speaking of drool, i saw a moron at the gym today balancing a water bottle on his head while chatting up a chic. almost got a pic
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823228 << i believe this is more like it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: Mocky, somehow i didn't mind that so much.
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> worse that when it was raining trucker tits?? << That wasn't so bad. I got to listen to alf complain about that with my ears in real time.
asciilifeform: bahahaha i found the factory test mode pin
asciilifeform: i have 1 of these here ( well, a part-timer )
BingoBoingo: I suspect the level of human dysfunction we are encountering is different. Thankfully my problem is alleviated by saner girls importing themselves here from Northern South America because "land of opportunity"
danielpbarron: i've seen and met plenty of good looking but am no stranger to later learning they are no good, but in my case because of lack of belief
danielpbarron: probably but i don't remember
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, it's mostly a medieval conceit. had to display it as something. you ever saw the dog-like elephant i linked once ?
Mocky: now i just make apple jokes
Mocky: danielpbarron, i've spoken those words so many times, lol
danielpbarron: i can't tell you that
mircea_popescu: i didn't sday hookers, did i ? don't tell me nudity is ungodly ?!
danielpbarron: i cannot personally be responsible for such a thing
danielpbarron: i don't think they could have turned me down even if my aim was to represent the republic tho. 700 USD or whatever for a vendor spot.
asciilifeform: i was thinking also, 'advocate' where, in local bierhaus ?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 20:42 hl`: I'm a longtime owner-control advocate.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823026 << this sort of statement would be so much more useful/important/noteworthy/actually existent if it came in the form of "i'm the guy from $X, long term so and so". where $X doesn't have to be a "our words are backed by nuclear weapons" state. can even be a blog. a dogshed. SOMETHING. but something specifically and identifiably existent. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ok, i'm skipping the rest of this swiftgeek barf, it's indigestible.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-11 23:54 danielpbarron: they have some app exibitors can use to promote where they'll be and what they are serving (i reserved a vendor campsite specifically for the purpose of provoking conversation about the Bible) -- i also mention in my "profile" that i'm a lord in the most serene republic of Bitcoin, which mysteriously gets removed. I add it again, removed again. They apparently don't mind a religious "cult" but not
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823362 << i was never able to arise myself to visit this lulzfest, and now beginning to think that i didn't miss much ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> i suppose idiocy not baked into hindbrain << What you described happening to you was light coming on in a dark place letting you see. It is an absence phenonmenon. Nothing inherently bad.
mircea_popescu: nor would i call it a gravel mill.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't be impressed with gravel mill that only milled some gravels.
Mocky: i suppose idiocy not baked into hindbrain
Mocky: was cured first time i saw 'yeah this dns exploit reveals everything' immediately saw whole things as crock of shit
