asciilifeform: they exist in parallel.

asciilifeform: these also.

asciilifeform: orc, who oughta be selling cigarettes out of a suitcase at the sunday market , instead taking home google payola, etc

asciilifeform: so they swim.

asciilifeform: for the folx 'worth weight in pig carcass', pantsuit is where the food is.

asciilifeform: or simply swims to where the food is.

asciilifeform: does amoeba ?

asciilifeform: i doubt that he has any political thought process at all

asciilifeform: and such gems as 'make code build with gcc 8.1'

asciilifeform: btw lulzy, https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+log << work log (includes all 3 firmwares)

asciilifeform: but foxconn is still 'somehow' in biznis

asciilifeform: well i dun want to work at foxconn either, lol

asciilifeform: they have these slaves, they work for food and roof, etc. and they aint dead yet, corpses can't post disinfo in forums etc. so ergo they still make payroll..

asciilifeform: google?

asciilifeform: this tsar is still making payroll, last i heard

asciilifeform: prolly

asciilifeform: btw on reread of the sores, raising the b4 pin is not expected to do anything productive, it merely sets the port config to the same default state the three 0 strapping pins already set it to in my box

asciilifeform: but admittedly tall order.

asciilifeform: fughet 'normal people', idea was possibly the asexuate google devs have defector in the ranks

asciilifeform: lol.

asciilifeform: with the connect/disconnect subhumans?!

asciilifeform: fucking insects.

asciilifeform: aite from nao on they only get voice if they ask, politely.

asciilifeform: !!up loper_os_cr50

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: !!up loper_os_cr50

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the cr50 swine pits, https://archive.li/l2Env

asciilifeform: !!up fitzsim

asciilifeform: !!up xdeller_

asciilifeform: !!up apt-get

asciilifeform: rsa, ecc still 'in software'

asciilifeform: loox like this part only does hashing and aes

asciilifeform: 'inserter of random nops' and the like.

asciilifeform: seems to have various nonsensical noise countermeasures against timing sidechannel, etc

asciilifeform: soo they ~did~ put oddball crypto logic in the fpga, e.g. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/master/chip/g/dcrypto/dcrypto_runtime.c#40 drives it

asciilifeform: so this doesn't exactly narrow down what the base fpga was.

asciilifeform: i mean, they're world's largest , supposedly, foundry.

asciilifeform: dun do much, tho

asciilifeform: ( taiwan semiconductor manuf. co. ltd. )

asciilifeform: TSMC

asciilifeform: aaand i found the maker

asciilifeform: ( they clocked it waaay down, it runs at something like 16Mhz )

asciilifeform: 1 battery charge can run cr50 for coupla wks, seems like

asciilifeform: for extra lulz, this box is ~off~ presently, while i talk to its cr50

asciilifeform: ( as can be seen in the paste, shows '0' )

asciilifeform: incl 'DIOB4'

asciilifeform: soo, 'gpioget' cmd : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/A7OwA/?raw=true << worx and reports voltages of named gpio matrix pins

asciilifeform: and the drm crapola of course picks up where it left off, it writes to flash

asciilifeform: well can turn whole thing off, but solely by discharging or pulling the battery

asciilifeform: ( when same cmd send via slave spi -- cr50 uart spews forth 'CCD is disabled in this image' . yep, disabled until usg key signs 'upgrade', verily )

asciilifeform: and while we're at it, vendor cmd 34 (open ccd) also dead

asciilifeform: for now that part worx

asciilifeform: ( homo redditicus still thinks 'hey i own the box' because pulling battery lets you rewrite the cpu's boot rom )

asciilifeform: then they pulled the bait-and-switch and properly shat on the 'owner can cleanse' conceit.

asciilifeform: originally this made you pull out the battery to prove that you opened the box, etc.

asciilifeform: this was the 'soft' reset-to-factory , at some point presumably worked ( their 'gsctool' thing, supports sending it )

asciilifeform: unrelated to the b4 pin thing

asciilifeform: in disappointing noose, no soft zap -- include/tpm_vendor_cmds.h: VENDOR_CC_RESET_FACTORY = 38 cmd dunwork, result is extension_route_command: handler 22 not found , they closed the hole ( detain in https://archive.li/pEWsr )

asciilifeform: and yes.

asciilifeform: no motor, nuffing, just picture little screwdriver with drill tip.

asciilifeform: eh drilling cleanly is 'easy', ever seen the tool, clockmaker's drill

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why do you suppose i asked for xray, lol, earlier today.

asciilifeform: ther's a pulldown enabled on it, so that will give basic litmus re whether we found

asciilifeform: and can then only be reached with drill

asciilifeform: ( either that or it's a sad and unrouted ball entirely )

asciilifeform: but somehow i suspect that 'b4' is one of the pads.

asciilifeform: academic, there's no simple way to get to most of'em

asciilifeform: sooo apparently we want to pull ~up~ pin B4, which is 'pin 10 of port 0' , wherever the fuck that physically is.

asciilifeform: !!up loper_os_cr50

asciilifeform: verily it goes beyond, aha, 'entomological interest' and into 'plague of locusts'

asciilifeform: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/master/board/cr50/board.c#1453 << subj, ftr

asciilifeform: still gotta physically get ~to~ it

asciilifeform: well at least in theory

asciilifeform: bahahaha i found the factory test mode pin

asciilifeform: also has handshake protocol.

asciilifeform: i have 1 of these here ( well, a part-timer )

asciilifeform: verily

asciilifeform: ohai mod6

asciilifeform: ambroise pare.

asciilifeform: ( 'sea bishop' lives in 16th c. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-08#1537294 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: hmm

asciilifeform: !#s sea bishop

asciilifeform: apparentlynot

asciilifeform: i was thinking also, 'advocate' where, in local bierhaus ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can cut to the verdict, if you like, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-11#1823215 . ☝︎

asciilifeform: ha.

asciilifeform: loper_os_cr50: lemme guess, clicked on link by accident ?

asciilifeform: !!up loper_os_cr50

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 ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( not necessarily with own hands, but at all )

asciilifeform: washing aint fine culinary art, either, but picture cook who does not wash instruments.

asciilifeform: sure

asciilifeform: all engineering begins with classification. ( see also http://btcbase.org/log/2016-01-19#1377640 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: Mocky: it's the ~only part.

asciilifeform: depends what means 'some', neh. if it handily spits out diamonds, say...

asciilifeform: i suspect strongly -- relapsed.

asciilifeform: hard to say for certain.

asciilifeform: Mocky: we had a fella coupla yrs ago, Framedragger, who struggled with the disease and in the end relapsed.

asciilifeform: what is 'pki'ism even, if not 'from ur-mother will the blessed milk flow down'

asciilifeform: far even from computer.
