New exploit: “xor dword [0xf80c2094], 1<<22”
Unlocks CPU microcode, the platform security processor, system management mode, and every internal processor register, all at once, on 100 million AMD CPUs. As far as I can tell can’t be fixed.

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.
Naja,wenn die Sozis unserer allseits geliebten SPD mir unbedingt mit DDR-Methoden schaden wollen:

2021 > PHEV BMW iBMUCP 21F37E Post-Crash Recovery — When EU engineering becomes a synonym for “unrepairable” + "generating waste".
If you own a BMW PHEV — or if you’re an insurance company — every pothole, every curb impact, and even every rabbit jumping out of a bush represents a potential €5,000 cost, just for a single fuse inside the high-voltage battery system.
This “safety fuse” is designed to shut the system down the moment any crash event is detected. Sounds safe — but extremely expensive.
Unfortunately, that’s not the only issue.
BMW has over-engineered the diagnostic procedure to such a level that even their own technicians often do not know the correct replacement process. And it gets worse: the original iBMUCP module, which integrates the pyrofuse, contactors, BMS and internal copper-bonded circuitry, is fully welded shut. There are no screws, no service openings, and it is not designed to be opened, even though the pyrofuse and contactors are technically replaceable components. Additionally, the procedure requires flashing the entire vehicle both before and after the replacement, which adds several hours to the process and increases risk of bricked components which can increase the recovery cost by factor 10x.
But that is still not the only problem.
Even after we managed to open the unit and access everything inside, we discovered that the Infineon TC375 MCU is fully locked. Both the D-Flash sectors and crash-flag areas are unreadable via DAP or via serial access.
Meaning: even if you replace the pyrofuse, you still cannot clear the crash flag, because the TC375 is cryptographically locked.
This leaves only one method:
➡️ Replace the entire iBMUCP module with a brand-new one. (1100€ + tax for faulty fuse)
And the registration of the new component is easily one of the worst procedures we have ever seen. You need an ICOM, IMIB, and AOS subscription — totalling over €25,000 in tools — just to replace a fuse. (even we managed to activate this one with IMIB, it will be necessary in some situation)
Yes, you read that correctly, 25,000€
Lot of vehicles designed and produced in Europe — ICE, PHEV, and EV — have effectively become a missleading ECO exercise. Vehicles marketed as “CO₂-friendly” end up producing massive CO₂ footprints through forced services, throw-away components, high failure rates and unnecessary parts manufacturing cycles, overcomplicated service procedures, far larger than what the public is told. If we are destroying our ICE automotive industry based on EURO norms, who is calculating real ECO footprint of replacement part manucfacturing, unecessary servicing and real waste cost?
We saw this years ago on diesel and petrol cars:
DPF failures, EGR valves, high-pressure pumps, timing belts running in oil, low quality automatic transmissions, and lubrication system defects. Everyone calculates the CO₂ footprint of a moving vehicle — nobody calculates the CO₂ footprint of a vehicle that is constantly broken and creating waste.
ISTA’s official iBMUCP replacement procedure is so risky that if you miss one single step — poorly explained within ISTA — the system triggers ANTITHEFT LOCK.
This causes the balancing controller to wipe and lock modules.
Meaning: even in an authorised service centre, system can accidentally delete the configuration and end up needing not only a new iBMUCP, but also all new battery modules.
Yes — replacing a fuse can accidentally trigger the replacement of all healthy HV modules, costing €6,000+ VAT per module, plus a massive unknown CO₂ footprint.
This has already happened to several workshops in the region.
The next problem: BMW refuses to provide training access for ISTA usage. We submitted two official certification requests — both were rejected by the central office in Austria, which is borderline discriminatory.
One more next problem: Battery erasal can happen in OEM and can happen in our or any other 3rd party workshop, but if procedure was started in workshop 1, it cant be continued in workshop 2. If battery damage happens in our workshop during fuse change, and than battery swap needed, we or even OEM workshop do not cover costs of completely new battery pack. Which increases heavily ownership costs.
All of this represents unnecessary complexity with no meaningful purpose.
While Tesla’s pyrofuse costs €11 and the BMS reset is around 50€, allowing the car to be safely restored, BMW’s approach borders on illogical engineering, with no benefit to safety, no benefit to anti-theft protection — the only outcome is the generation of billable labour hours and massive amounts of needless electronic/lithium waste.
Beyond that, we are actively working on breaking the JTAG/DAP protection to gain direct access to the D-Flash data and decrypt its contents together with our colleagues from Hungary. The goal is to simplify the entire battery-recovery procedure, reduce costs, and actually deliver the CO₂ reduction that the EU keeps missleading— since the manufacturers clearly won’t.

In Ternopil, a father is burying his little child, gently rocking a tiny coffin in his arms.
Today, people are saying their final goodbye to Mariia and her children, Kamila and Nazarchyk, whom Russia killed on November 19.
Only Kamal, their father, survived in the apartment.
The death toll from the Russian strike on Ternopil has risen to 34 people, according to the regional administration.
As Zelensky arrives in Türkiye to discuss a peace deal and the return of civilians & POWs, @cnnturk aired the @emile_fondation ’s press briefing in Paris, and the truth shocked viewers.
A Ukrainian mother said:
“My daughter Margarita’s name was changed to Mirana Mironova.
She was adopted by Russian official Sergey Mironov.
Her birthplace rewritten.
Given a Russian passport.
My son Maksym sent somewhere else in Crimea.”
Russia calls her an orphan.
She is NOT.
Her sister lives with Darina Repina, who has raised her for 7 years.
This is not “care.”
It is identity erasure, forced adoption, a war crime.
There is no credible peace if stolen children remain missing.
Children are not bargaining chips.

Russia sentenced a 66-year-old teacher Natalya Taranushenko to 7 years in prison. She told her 8th-graders in Protvino: Russia is the aggressor. We act like Nazi Germany.

Ich bin Ingenieur und ich sage Ihnen:
1. Batteriespeicher bauen
2. Windkraftanlagen bauen
3. PV-Anlagen bauen
4. Wärmepumpen einbauen
5. Verkehr elektrifizieren
6. ÖPNV ausbauen
Das sind alles Maßnahmen, die niemanden in seiner Freiheit einschränken. Außer „Technologieoffenheit“ und „Einfallsreichtum“ kommt von Ihnen gar nichts. Die Lösungen sind da, Ihre Aufgabe ist die Richtung vorzugeben WIE wir sie umsetzen.

Darf man nie zerbrüllen
