Call for flash-chips at DEF CON!

If you have leftover or rare SPI flash-chips that I can have for testing some tooling I’m building I’d be very thankful.

Also if you have devices where you had trouble dumping in-system I’d love to give it a try. I’ll be at Embedded Systems Village :)

Also kudos to the great jokesters at Yamaha who named the marine diagnostic stuff “YDS” and then went ahead and launched a series of saxophones *also* named Yamaha YDS🤡

Does someone know whether it's possible to get recorded traces from a Rigol DHO800/900 using SCPI?

Wanted to slightly warm up the chip with a heat-lamp and ended up melting the jumper-wires 🔥😅

Wow modern cars suck.

A relay is not opening/closing reliably.

The relay is epoxied into a PCB assembly.

Replacement cost for the 5EUR (being generous here) relay is 400EUR because you can only buy the entire assembly.

Business idea: Amazon but with original products instead of counterfeit ones.

Pretty sure there’s a market there.

Dared to call German customs, was starting to describe my situation (nicely) and immediately got interrupted and yelled at. Wow.

The German customs system is so hopelessly broken...

It's faster to send something from the UK to Finland, import it there, and then forward it to Germany than trying to import something from the UK to Germany directly.

Looks like Garmin released an update causing a boot loop, how nice of them to celebrate the return of Pebble like that 😊

This afternoon I asked Ole about a bug with Frida & iOS simulator. 2 hours later he had a fix committed and just now he published a new release including the fix ❤️

Absolute legend, thanks for everything you do.
