    For the CEM, I have done no modifications, yet. I have however spent a fair amount of time, reverse engineering the AW55 firmware and have discovered virtually all the maps related…

    You guessed correctly.

    I am actually fascinated by car electronics. I had heavily modified the software on mine, but it was easier than modern stuff, no encryption of the code, and even the checksum code…

    The anti-tamper codes, if any tampering is detected will crash on undefined/unallocated regions. Meaning that if Windows ever were to overwrite that region for whatever reason, wil…

    What isn't mentioned in the article is why UD2 is chosen. It is a relic from the SecuROM days, in fact, one of the developers on SecuROM is the one who also works or worked at Denu…

    I always enjoyed the near silent Samurai Jack Episodes. Especially the one with the Tower and three possessed soldiers.

    I like the concept of the Comma device. If only to get just one feature from it, adaptive cruise control. But it requires for me to not only reverse engineer, but potentially also …

    I fully agree. The word I would describe this is indeed Flat.

    It would be an interesting reverse engineering challenge, 20 years down the road when it is more accessible. I spent 1.5+ years on my 2005 car's ECU to reverse engineer most of the…

    I mean I am asking only because my government has failed to fix these roads and we've had protests that lead to nothing. They are the only connection between the rural parts of the…

    Hello. How does this suspension handle severely neglected roads with large potholes or even off-road type with say 40-50mph? And I mean regularly, for years?

    Sadly it is still only a stop-gap measure. The sun is for all intents and purposes, dying a slow death.

    I remember back in the day of the Sony Satio U1, the last Symbian v5 phone, the software was horrendous(screen tearing, random OS freezes) and later, the phone abandoned. I think i…

    I have done extensive reverse engineering of SH2 firmwares, at first I didn't like it, but then found it elegant.

    Ask HN: How can sharing stories on Instagram DDoS my phone?

    So this has puzzled me how a single app can DDoS a connection of the entire phone sharing an Instagram video to your story. Why would the Android connection manager or whatever sta…

    He did and so did I, you are just selectively ignoring them and gaslighting us.

    It is only plausible based on your own subjective views and cultural projection. As of now, it has no basis on any fact.

    Ok, and just because a few countries did it, in what way implies that Bulgaria will? Your arguments have no basis other than "Country A did it, so Bulgaria is also more likely to d…

    For a while in the early 2000s to late 2000s there was a very widespread usage of 4 and 6 replacing the ch and sh sounds. In hindsight, this was more likely to replace the letters …

    Well, Bulgaria has a lot of borrowed words now, but I don't see even a hint of switching to the Latin alphabet. Not even a hint.

    Yes, what is up with me asking it a question about a subject or something else and it starts lecturing me what the subject is etc. It is never brief, concise, it always has to add …
