How about you read the XDA guide instead of being a lazy fuck?

I spent MONTHS making the process easier for everyone, and it’s literally a matter of connecting the device and running a SINGLE script.

Yet people like you still rely on AI for this. Disgusting.

@arter97 Everyone knows that one needs to wipe cache seven times for best speed.

@zdance @arpit_bhayani Not touching on the general accuracy of the original post here, but why would the choice of a bit pattern that is advantageous for resilience be relevant for the question of "which one do we reserve for local use"? In the end it needs to be able to transmit everything anyway.

@arter97 Sounds like the differentiable pieces of text that I would use for printf-debugging.

I suppose I will post on Bluesky more actively going forward, for the people who don't want to keep their Twitter account.

The profile picture will be subject to change once my laptop is operational again.

@ghidraninja But what am I going to do without the red line that tells me where I should put pin 1? /s

@awesomekling They were expecting some new sletters, obviously.

@alexjplaskett Seeing how this appears to be the automatic (?) embed image, I'm really glad that I thought to clean up my desk beforehand.

[Tim Schumacher @t1mschumi]

@madushan1000 @lauriewired It isn't. From my sparse testing, S-BOOT (which is Samsung's aboot equivalent) is integrity checked in some way.

What I'm using here is the fact that I can just put any binary into where the Linux kernel usually is. As far as S-BOOT is concerned, it's booting Linux.

@srart25 @thegrugq This time it will (hopefully) only depend on the order that I work through my backlog in.

[Tim Schumacher @t1mschumi]

Behold! My magnum opus! The inaugural blog post!
And... it's the fourth one to be posted?

Turns out, developing a bootloader on retail embedded hardware is more difficult than first imagined.

@lauriewired Thanks for the shoutout!

Do note that this was just about the bootloader so far, the Linux kernel I used for testing I had already prepared in advance, developed by assembling and flashing boot.img files. Producing a Linux kernel that is expected to work will be the last step.

@cilvet94 This notably included someone joining the Discord server and (sadly, in no unclear words/actions) declaring that they don't think people should get addressed by the pronouns they prefer.

[Tim Schumacher @t1mschumi]

@cilvet94 Relatedly, there has been no shortage of spammed issues/PRs and apparently death threats from either side of the discussion.

[Tim Schumacher @t1mschumi]

PSA: Make sure to compile your performance-critical application with optimizations enabled before benchmarking it and being sad that it's slow.

@awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser Ladybird GX

This is a follow-up to an earlier post that discussed the user-visible effects of said issue.

Ever wanted to know what can go wrong when implementing a UEFI boot menu? Yeah, me neither.

[Tim Schumacher @t1mschumi]

The exciting conclusion! What other kinds of horror can we uncover in the land of vendor EFI firmware?
