LCR-T4-Plus v2: m-firmware flashen, Display-Tuning und die 8-MHz-Quartz-Falle

Vom ersten T4-Plus lebt nur noch der MCU, das Display ist tot. Ein zweites Exemplar zum Vergleich, gleiche PCB-Bezeichnung, aber ein 8-MHz-Quartz statt 16 MHz. Wie ich Display, Power-Latch und Self-Adjustment mit der quelloffenen m-firmware in den Griff bekommen habe.

Den Vatertag genutzt um endlich die Ladeplatine des Tablets zu tauschen. Leider war der Akku tiefentladen und ich mußte ihm ein wenig helfen.
10 Minuten lang die Messspitzen halten ist auch härter als man denkt. Aber es bootet wieder, mal schauen ob es auch wieder ordentlich hochkommt, wenn die Spannung niedrig wird.

✊ Fisker went bankrupt and owners built open source car company from the ashes

｢ Fisker Ocean owners organized, reverse-engineered their vehicles’ proprietary software, hacked into CAN bus networks, built open-source tools on GitHub, and effectively stood up a volunteer-run open-sourced car company from the ashes of Fisker ｣

Fisker went bankrupt and owners built open source car company from the ashes

After Fisker's bankruptcy left 11,000 Ocean EVs orphaned, a 4,000-member community reverse-engineered software, hacked CAN buses, and kept their cars alive.

When a car company goes bankrupt, owners usually just… move on. But Fisker's community did something else: they open-sourced the whole thing and built their own company from the wreckage. Repair rights, community ownership, collective resilience — this is what happens when users refuse to be passive. Quietly inspiring. #OpenSource #RightToRepair #infosec

The battery of my iPhone 13 mini needs replacement (after 3.5 years), and Apple recently started to officially support self-repair, selling genuine battery, tools, screws, etc.

Except the replacement at an authorized dealer, including labor and parts costs slightly less than only the genuine battery for self-repair :D (~100 EUR vs 110 EUR in Hungary).

(There is a ~50 EUR refund when the replaced part is sent back, so I might still attempt a repair.)
