diana_coman: I suppose that's also not that uncommon "productivity improvement" via "latest tech"
diana_coman: well, at least if they pay you for staying in the queue...
asciilifeform: ftr this was their last even half-usable box, right before they took away the f-keys.
diana_coman: aeons of config tweaking or aeons in queue apparently?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fashions aside, if you're misfortunate enuff to need a recent x86-64 lappy where can attach large external displays, wifi, etc without aeons of config tweaking and flaky, yer stuck with crapple
diana_coman: to me apple stuff is still essentially a fashion item and yes, usually that comes with insanity as far as I can tell ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at least that one's scrubbable, rather than in drm rom
asciilifeform: and, lulzily, not only do they charge coupla hundy for this, but they ~glue it in~ to make harder to replace ( chinese of course sell replacement, with bottle of acid to dissolve the glue, takes whole day, but this does not unbend the keyboard, mousepad, chassis, that bend from the swell )
asciilifeform: in (mostly) unrelated lulz, recently asciilifeform found himself visiting several different crapple shops, and standing in a queue for hours, sov-style, simply to submit for repair a crapple lappy (2 yr old !) with swollen battery, whole thing looked like spoiled food tin ☟︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform, to me that still sounds like quite a big step ahead
asciilifeform: i'ma let mircea_popescu make the call re whether these finds add up to a 'let's make lappys' or not yet.
asciilifeform: ( in so far as i can tell, those boxes are identical, aside from older rockchip (4 core, vs 6) , smaller ram, and cylindrical dc power supply connector instead of usb-c )
asciilifeform: other item, is that a main bootloader built for this thing, theoretically will also work on the c100pa, which has no cr50.
asciilifeform: this will give a setup where a box separated from its sd, is 'unsecret', and can be expected to be identical to other cured units.
asciilifeform: imho the ideal setup for this box (which has ~4~ nonvolatile roms -- the 3 above, and the 16GB ssd soldered onto mobo) is to put uboot in the main fw, and cuntoo ~installer~ on the 16GB ssd, which will boot if blank sd card is inserted, and install cuntoo on the latter; and subsequently boot off sd. this way the box will not slowly wear out the nonreplaceable internal ssd.
asciilifeform: ( if main fw is allowed to boot into 'non-dev' mode, it clears it, but once we wipe it and replace with cuntoo fw, this will not happen )
asciilifeform: i did get the unlock to persist across reboots, last night.
asciilifeform: ( for those who did not follow the orig c101pa threads : the box has ~three~ firmware turds: 1) main (8MB) bootloader 2) EC (little arm thingie, has own console , controls all of kbd but the power and reset lines, as well as various voltages, and battery charger) 3) cr50 -- controls power/reset lines, inits the charging brick, and 'god mode' debug over the other 2 chips, i.e. cpu and EC )
asciilifeform: there also appears to be a knob that switches off the usb console entirely, but i have not tried it yet, will test when i'm about to throw out the current mobo i have in there (with the damaged mouse connector) and put in new one (i have replacements)
asciilifeform: fwiw i can also nao control 'pinmux' ( the built-in gadget that connects arbitrary lines on the pcb to arbitrary others ) and various other vendor knobs
asciilifeform: what i have not found a way to do, is to neuter cr50 in the sense originally wanted , where it turns into simply battery controller and nobody can rewrite from snake.
asciilifeform: what this does, is remove the 'nobus' aspect of the thing, nao anybody can r/w the fw via the snake.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: to be very specific, i did not properly break cr50. what i found instead was an apparently-Official (albeit undocumented) knob in the most recent fw release, which does equiv of rma unlock ( sets all of the permission bits for console ) and enables spi bus access, through which can r/w the main and ec fw turds.
mircea_popescu: (their method of evaluating "activeness" is to remove content, keep html tag structure, and only count each structure once. supposedly it gets rid of autogenerated crapola.)
BingoBoingo: It is what it is. Uruguay legalized the stuff and yet the locals can't gorw themselves into an Oregon problem
BingoBoingo: Hard to repackage the Paraguay, its pressed for transit to Brasil
mircea_popescu: wtf, they don't even repackage ?!
BingoBoingo: The folks who help cars park in the city also get Paraguay to flip
BingoBoingo: Police identify smuggled paraguayo by the packaging
BingoBoingo: Enterprising patriots supporting the travel industry run to paraguay to get pressed herb otherwise destined for Brasil, and...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No, its Uy can't get enough brains to Oregon and they run out of domestic grown
asciilifeform: is this like the cig smugglers in nyc ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how's that work, i thought uy 'legalized'
mircea_popescu: i rather doubt there's those folks with 20 mil, at least at the level here discussed. a dime bag costs ~same here as in florida. actually, maybe slightly more expensiuve here. same as with hdds or w/e else, idiocy tax, everything costs the orcs more.
BingoBoingo: Similarly I see nothing about the police busting folks trafficking "pasta base (cocaine chaw)" but they do occasionally bust folks taking cheap marihuana paraguaya to Punta Del Este
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 18:28 mircea_popescu: in unrelated news : minigame was going to work both an infinite-items and an infinite-lands update ; they kinda need the new client protocol (mostly to do on-demand content delivery) ; which is waiting for... cuntoo!
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-01#1846672 << I'll give this some more love tomorrow and the next, and should be good to go. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( the folx with 20mil, paid their usg крыша properly )
mircea_popescu: at least in the us, 20k is enough to feed the people "captured" for the day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa also when they pillage they find 'whole 20k usd' and not 20mil, for same reason
mircea_popescu: which points to some mindblowingly inept "gangsters" ; or i guess to some strangely inept yet very corrupt police.
mircea_popescu: in fact, i've yet to see a piece where teh police breaking up these truly dangerous drug rings found more than ~week's pay in cash.
asciilifeform: at any rate, if it's a selective de-squatting, doesn't break the '1942 ss vs partizan' flavour equation
mircea_popescu: they have these pieces here too, "police caught dope dealing ring, confiscated some dope and 20`000 colones in cash"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is Uruguay. Having Grandparents who squatted 75 years ago is about as gangster as it gets
mircea_popescu: wtf gangstering they might've done is anyone's guess.
asciilifeform: txt seems to imply that demolished 'because gangster', rather than 'because squat'
BingoBoingo: Could be normalize titles with bulldozers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform usually this is because "no need" because "everyone knows". latinos are a hopelessly fucked in the head barn animal species.
asciilifeform: no mention of this in the link, or in the prev ones
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this a very poorly communicated "these idiots '''built''' out of packaging on squatted land" thing ?
asciilifeform: 'partizans blew a train, let's burn moar village'
mircea_popescu: but doesn't it stand to reason that if indeed they demolished 10 "gangster" houses the "gangsters" in question now have all the more incentive to squeeze the pantsuit neighbours ? and if contrairy-wise, they demolished 10 pantsuit houses, thjey just did the "gangster"s one better ?!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma guess they saw a reportage from gaza strip once, where this 'worked' so well
BingoBoingo: But hey, the 5-0 can't do raids in the night!
BingoBoingo: For some reason the Authoritits have a hard on for bulldozing shit in Casaville
asciilifeform: loox like old-fashioned state terror , 'kowtow to pantsuit or we salt your fields'
mircea_popescu: wtf sense does this make ?!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, so washington pereyra informs that they demolished 10 houses including one of a woman that ambiguously either (ran a non-pantsuit-sanctioned soup kitchen) or (headed a criminal gang) because it was discovered that repeatedly gangsters asked locals "not involved in ilicit activity" to sell them their houses ?!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: last week << '2 years ago' in text
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile over here police keep demolishing houses in the ghetto https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/policia-demolio-la-casa-de-la-lider-de-los-chingas-20189112550
BingoBoingo: Jews bomb syria, Pantsuit certain to take Mosul. Such Middle East
mircea_popescu: LAST WEEK, this.
mircea_popescu: speraking of great victories of the nato reich, https://www.abqjournal.com/953455/iraqi-forces-advance-on-islamic-state-held-western-mosul.html?amp=1
BingoBoingo: No one's taken credit yet, so prolly dem old Jooz again
mircea_popescu: the time to kowtow before the golden boy is when the golden boy is seven years old. by the time he's fifteen...
mircea_popescu: it's not a matter of "oh, we handled phuctor story" ; it's a matter of "failed to present republic with fifty virgin transsexuals and fifty million in cash post haste ? awwww..."
mircea_popescu: as i was saying : pantsuit gotta learn that if it doesn't bend over and squirt ~OODLES~ of money when it has the chance, it'll be bent over and fucked with farming implements later on.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/and-now-for-part-2-of-our-smash-hit-hey-stupid-women-we-need-to-talk-smart-women-don%E2%80%99t-want-to-be-with-you-anymore/ < that.
mircea_popescu: well ? how EXACTLY did the entire "torzilla development community" spring up ? what the fuck is a lindsey kuper ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: quite. and we'll have another nigglet that invented the clock. except it'd be isis thersephina-abdul or some retarded dumb shit like that.
asciilifeform: i think i get the idea tho
asciilifeform: ( right nao, what's in there is a plagiarized gentoo )
asciilifeform: sorta what they do currently, neh
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, they'll sell free ubuntu lappy.
asciilifeform: for my education, plox to elaborate then?
BingoBoingo: At least I dun have to worry about them running down here. The price of vasoline in Uruguay is its own rape.
mircea_popescu: time to learn that there's a time to grease, if one aims to avoid anal rape lubed in own blood. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: cocksuckers somehow managed to conjure up imaginary millions for donations to try and drown out http://trilema.com/2014/the-public-burning-of-bob-beck/ ; i don't recall the mns in donations post phuctor, for instance.
mircea_popescu: let them have to spend some of the fiatola chinese give them to even evaluate the claim that it works. no free food for criminals.
mircea_popescu: let s.nsa sell the laptops and that'll be good enough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno that i'd publish that much of the thing. what's that buy, usual amstan tards doing the republic-with-serials-filed-off innovation ?
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/current_c101pa_main.bin << current contents of the W25Q64DW rom.
asciilifeform: what all of this means, is that i can try payloads for the main fw, without needing to buy a train car full of mobos
asciilifeform: google's published flashrom util dunwork, i have one patched by hand, that worx via my http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2415 snake . will eventually publish the whole shebang, once i have working payload.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: thing needs a working port of uboot , that actually inits the iron
asciilifeform: nao i need a payload (i.e. substitute for that 8MB turd the thing comes with.) lessee what phf meanwhile came up with.
lobbes: awesome. ty!
asciilifeform: it shits timestamps
asciilifeform: lobbes: throw out yer vdiff.sh !!!!
lobbes: and the vdiff.sh I used >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/3hf8i/?raw=true
lobbes: asciilifeform: here's my current WIP vpatch (the one that was used to produce egogg >> http://www.lobbesblog.com/src/logbot_command_router_python/v/patches/logbot_command_router_python_genesis.vpatch
asciilifeform: lobbes: can you paste the complete input plox ?
asciilifeform: loox like the patch was from a broken vdiff.sh ??
lobbes: Is there something I'm missing? I pressed using mod6's V and created the vpatch using the "classic" vdiff described in http://cascadianhacker.com/07_v-tronics-101-a-gentle-introduction-to-the-most-serene-republic-of-bitcoins-cryptographically-backed-version-control-system
lobbes: odd thing is, everything seems to have pressed fine. And when I manually run sha512sum on the problem file the hash matches what V was expecting >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/SnHoK/?raw=true
lobbes: question for the V experts out there: I was test pressing a vpatch genesis I created and ran into an odd barf ('Pressed file hash did not match expected!') >> http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/A5d1u/?raw=true
BingoBoingo: And there's still no confirmation on whether Terry Davis lives or dies
asciilifeform: i gotta actually see that it writes 'mis-signed' fw, next
asciilifeform: but theoretically i have 'testlab mode' going
