Quite a lot of work: First MacBook Neo with 1 TByte SSD

The SSDs that Apple ships with the Neo are only 256 or 512 GByte. Upgrading is difficult due to soldered NAND modules. But it's possible.

Ziemlich viel Arbeit: Erstes MacBook Neo mit 1 TByte großer SSD

Die SSDs, die Apple beim Neo mitliefert, sind nur 256 oder 512 GByte groß. Ein Aufrüsten ist aufgrund verlöteter NAND-Module schwierig. Aber es geht.

Ghidra is free, extensible, and helpful for reverse engineering firmware, but its learning curve is steep...

In this blog post, Adam Bromiley shares tips and tricks that make firmware reversing less painful, from finding the load address and interrupt vector table, through to defining a proper memory map and making better use of strings, scripts, LLMs, and more.

It's a guide built from real research projects and a lot of hours spent in front of Ghidra’s UI.

Today, I couldn't resist any longer a finally got me a #LEGO #SmartPlay set: Star Wars
(75423) Luke's Red Five X-Wing. Seeing all the content around, I've tried to add something myself: #FlipperZero meets LEGO #SmartTag. The #SmartBrick is also around. This has been my first attempt to record, cut and release a video — so please don't be too hard on me. It's about 1 minute long only.

Le planning des lives de la semaine est là 😊

Cette semaine on laisse un peu de côté les expérimentations à base de CH582F pour attaquer le banc de test pour le moteur de la Cricut Maker, et on continue la conception du PCB de remplacement pour la console chinoise !

There is a physical equivalent to "Did you try to turn it off and on again?" ...

Logi M575 trackball stopped working after cleaning. I sprayed a bit inside .. stupid probably but even after waiting an hour and using air dryer it did not come back to life.

Ok disassembly and look inside nothing found, but suddenly it worked again 🤷🏼‍♂️

So: "Did you do try to disassemble and reassemble again?" 😅

Just found out that "Beyond the Brick" published some photos on Facebook (yes, Facebook): teardown/ the internals of the #LEGO #SmartBrick from the #SmartPlay ecosystem — with credits to "Images/Text by PsychologicalYak4619" (reddit user). The battery is a 3.7 V, 45 mAh Li-ion. The post also writes about "passive NFC tags".
