Reparing #RaspberryPi, #OrangePi, #Pine64, #NvidiaJetson and other #SBC as a hobby of #electronicsrepair. 


Really enjoy #soldering and #BGA #microsoldering. 


Love #tinkering with #electronics, especially with #Arduino. 


Also interested in #Linux and #macOS.


Play #Guitar since I was 8.

"Arduino's Raspberry Pi-like microcomputer the Uno Q is joining many other devices in getting a price hike this week."

It’s now the Arduino Uno Q’s turn to get a price hike

Two versions of the single-board microcomputer will be $15 to $20 more expensive starting next month.

One laptop.

One warehouse.

One Windows power setting.

What could possibly go wrong?

One forgotten Shadow IT device quietly became critical infrastructure... until Windows decided it was bedtime.

Sometimes production outages don't require sophisticated attacks.

Sometimes they just need default settings.

And I also do not get it that a device you buy to tinker with can only now be tinkered in a way manufacturer allows you to... Sad, that's really sad if you ask me...

Remember the days when you could not buy a Raspberry Pi with the amound of RAM you wanted, but you could upgrade it yourself? Those days are gone.

Now the possibility to upgrade has been officially locked.

Here's a proof from RPi engineers:

Btw have you upgraded your Pi ram? Did you have any issues? Because I did and it always worked like a charm, including under heavy loads... 🤷‍♂️

CM5 RAM upgrade - Raspberry Pi Forums

#RaspberryPi 5 8GB costs approximately the same as 1 gram of gold.

Just saying.

I went further - turns out EEPROM lives in a SPI25 flash that can be read and written

Maybe I've already replaced a #RaspberryPi5 CPU before.

But today was the first time I replaced a Secure Boot locked CPU on a Pi 5.

And that's a whole different story - after I replaced a CPU Pi blinked a 1-2 code - "SD card overcurrent detected". Weird.

I tried to restore #EEPROM from a Micro SD - it flashed 3-2 - "SPI EEPROM is write protected".

I soldered another CPU. Same.

I replaced #RP1. Same.

Turns out it was EEPROM.

Asked #ChatGPT to write me a small Bin2Text script for #010editor HEX editor. Because why not have some geeky fun 😁.

That's why I love this game so much:

First - a broken hologram speaks to you in binary (and I didn't know it'll show decoded message so asked #ChatGPT to decode - too lazy to do it manually 😄).

Second - that very same hologram gives you a passkey - being pretty well tuned for the #Fallout2 vibe I asked ChatGPT again if this number means something - voila - Einstein's birthday.

Wow.

Just wow.
