phf: no no, i'm trying to clarify the sort of embarrassed i felt when i read his blog. but in the case of russians it was misunderstanding, in this case though it's something else entirely..
phf: i mean, it's a different scenario, but that must be the feeling americans felt in the situations like that
phf: it reminded me of how sometimes russian academics had problems with their american peers: some of those russians learned english from VHS, so found it acceptable to use ebonics in speech.
mircea_popescu: scoff all you want, but as burl ives put it, "it's always there in the morning, ain't it".
phf: "hey guys why don't we publish the secret chip bypass? -- what are you, some kind of terrorist/tinfoil??"
phf: and as much as i sometimes scoff at the lizard hitler suggestion, the whole narrative, tacitly supported by the relevant designer, is very much it.
asciilifeform: even supposing that cr50 were cleanly removable (the designers would have to be idiots, to make it cleanly removable, really)
asciilifeform: this approach threatens to turn the project into 'phd assembly line', sorta half the point of this machine was that it could be conjured up from the konsoomer shelf version with 10min of effort and 100% yield
asciilifeform: i can heat it to 400C and pull it off the board and see if power still goes ( chances are , it won't, d00d was telling the truth re other boobytraps previously ) , but that's about it.
asciilifeform: the problem is that i cannot answer any useful question about it other than at brainmelting expense ( see the bolix thread ).
asciilifeform: at any rate, if d00d was telling even half the truth re 'we had a cpld, in prev machines, and moved it, among else, to cr50 when we got to make own die' then it prolly is not a standard konsoomer loltron.
asciilifeform: the #1 choice of tardano vendors, certainly
mircea_popescu: which, afaik, is the most widely deployed fritzchip in empire.
mircea_popescu: hey, at least it mentions the atmels insistently.
asciilifeform: the chip itself does not match the description of any old fritztron familiar to asciilifeform (e.g. infineon's, intel's)
mircea_popescu: interesting link btw. what is this, the indians are taking over the usg "compliance" part altogether ? to the point the blather is taught in india but not us ?!
asciilifeform: they also distribute a ball of src which they ~claim~ (unverifiably, afaik, see thread) runs in it.
mircea_popescu: and there's not THAT much to buy.
mircea_popescu: i do not beleive it is. i expect they just bought something.
asciilifeform: ( they dun have, afaik, a fab, the 'TWN' suggests they contracted out to e.g. infineon )
mircea_popescu: what's the full name of this cr50 item btw ?
asciilifeform: let's recall that the whole thing is an exercise in junkyard wars, i can only stomp the obvious cockroaches
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, my suspicion is that your "no cr 50" will simply mean "they put it in the die of a diff ic, and you can't find it"
asciilifeform: why would 2015 box have it in the die, but 2017 external ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, use this other one instead, terrorist, as you seem hell bent on breaking the chip off. this other one has it in the die, so you can't see it, will be all good"
asciilifeform: afaik most simply shove it into the cpu die.
mircea_popescu: i expect they're mandated in all usg-"technology" since many years back.
mircea_popescu: reason he made the suggestion is that he bets on your failing to accurately test it.
mircea_popescu: generally these go like "darling, this is maybe an assfuckin chair you don't object to ?"
asciilifeform: which seems to be an almost exactly same machine ( i had it confused with c100 original ) but sans the cr50
asciilifeform: prolly worth examining the c100pa 1st
asciilifeform: ugh how do you intend to switch the thing on ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma definitely lift it, prior to throwing out board, but suspect that d00d was telling the truth re the power button, it doesn't seem to be routed though the old ec controller any moar
asciilifeform: ( and will point out, if i have to cut traces on these, the units will be produces at the rate of one per month, likely )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd happily cut it, but looking at the board, i suspect that they buried the traces
mircea_popescu: pshaw. i'm willing to pay for the board this is tested on.
mircea_popescu: fuck the "controls power supply". how's it gonna fail.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, "20:18 <amstan> if you're paranoid you can probably cut the ap spi flash and ec spi flash traces around it " << i was thinking, it can be just cut out

BingoBoingo: ^ In still other lulz
phf: on the other hand http://btcbase.org/patches/mp-wp_comments-fix is still rendered the usual way
phf: http://btcbase.org/patches/mp-wp_genesis so here's one possible solution, for mp-wp genesis instead of listing hunks inline, i link them to separate pages: http://btcbase.org/patches/mp-wp_genesis/hunk/blog/.htaccess http://btcbase.org/patches/mp-wp_genesis/hunk/blog/default_avatar.png.svg etc.
mircea_popescu: this'd be the problem. yes in the old days there was the lich and all that discussion. but fucking mind you that koschei was A WARRIOR in his fucking youth.
phf: well, it's the old age comes for us all, none of them want to be césar luciani, and very few prepared to knowingly don the armor one last time and die under the hail of arrows so to speak. (and i'm giving them a lot of credit here as far as how they lived to begin with)
mircea_popescu: and this is not something they ever notice. and so fucking on, bleah.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would people who ~fundamentally disenjoy~ something nevertheless want to be "high profile" in it... this part is incomprehensible. really, talking to people is something you dislike doing and then you figure you wanna be a "high profile blogger" ? "yes mp, because it's all about shaping the landscape, not enjoying the landscape". right ? fucktard mcdullardson is going to ~improve~ upon how the world works.
mircea_popescu: hence imbecile nonsense a la "paywall garden". because no, steve jobs ain't no fucking genius, he came up with the exact same idiocy every group of idle 18yos came up with.
