    You can already do this using things like the Chrome Storage APIs (obviously chrome only, and you need to be signed in, and bundle an extension) https://developer.chrome.com/docs/e…

    Watch the video again. He emphatically says they have to be blank or it won't work

    I don't think this is true. If you watch the videos, dosdude1 specifically says he had to order blank NANDs for this process. Then you DFU restore the system from another mac. I ha…

    I assume he needed it to have a small opening in the cage to shove the Raspberry Pi through it (to broadcast new SSIDs)

    It looks really cool, but i'll make an argument to how faithful it is. I opened the page, and clicked on a square. Immediate bomb loss. This does go against the rules of Windows Mi…

    url length limitations may thwart that, unless it's all compressed which might defeat the purpose

    Interesting. I occasionally use this feature so will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the clarification.

    Interesting, thanks for the info. I must have missed this. It doesn't seem completely unfair to not pass your main Google password, and I imagine you still might be able to use gen…

    I'm not fully understanding your comment. What do you think is happening or has happened to IMAP at Gmail?

    > you have to pick your approach and commit to it. I somewhat agree with this, especially when we are talking about higher brand companies appeasing cheaper consumables. However, t…

    Not OP but they are almost certainly referring to the BIOS POST self-health and status messages.

    Cached webpages have pretty much been dead since the pandemic, at least from my usage in the last few years. There used to be a prominent cache link under the search results, then …
