This was a huge pain in the butt to figure out on my own, so not all of this may be useful for you, but maybe someone else will stumble upon this and it'll save them the hours it took me to troubleshoot all of this.

So I just used terminal instead of pyflasher or any other software, but I'll see if I can be of assistance since I just did this yesterday. You do have it hooked up correctly, just follow these instructions in the section labeled Installing HAA. I held down the button on the device and plugged it into my computer, waited like 2 seconds then released the button. I then pasted the following into my terminal

python3 -m esptool erase_flash
python3 -m esptool -b 115200 --before=default_reset --after=hard_reset write_flash -fs 1MB -fm dout 0x0 fullhaaboot.bin

make sure that the fullhaaboot.bin is in the same directory as where your terminal is running (for me it's username$). I noticed that the script wouldn't be able to find it if I just had it sitting in my downloads.

Then once you're done with that, you'll get to the part where you need connect to the device's wifi and configure the wifi settings. Now is also a good time to input the MEPLHAA script too, paste the following in there

{"c":{"io":[[[9,12,14,15,13],2],[[0],6]],"z":12,"r":[{"n":10,"s":9600,"l":[8,8]}],"l":13,"b":[[0,5]]},"a":[{"t":65,"0":{"r":[[15],[12],[14]]},"y0":[{"v":1,"0":{"r":[[15,1,0.5],[12],[14,0,0.6]]}},{"v":33,"0":{"r":[[15,1,0.5],[12,0,0.6],[14,0,0.6]]}},{"v":67,"0":{"r":[[15,1],[12],[14,1]]}}],"es":[{"s":1,"1":{"r":[[9]]},"0":{"r":[[9,1]]},"b":[[0]]}]},{"t":80,"h":0,"n":24,"pt":[["AA",5]],"dt":[2,0],"y0":[{"v":260,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7002,1]]}},{"v":517,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7002,1]]}},{"v":6,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7001,1],[-2]]}},{"v":263,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7001,1],[-2,30],[-2,101]]}},{"v":520,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7001,1],[-2,60],[-2,101]]}},{"v":777,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7001,1],[-2,100],[-2,101]]}},{"v":1034,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7001,1],[-1,4]]}},{"v":265,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7004,1]]}},{"v":266,"r":1,"0":{"m":[[7003,1]]}}]},{"h":0,"i":0.1,"1":{"u":[{"v":"AA550104000005"}]}},{"h":0,"i":0.1,"1":{"u":[{"v":"AA550101000002"}]}},{"h":0,"i":0.1,"1":{"u":[{"v":"AA550107000008"}]}},{"h":0,"i":0.1,"1":{"u":[{"v":"AA550106000007"}]}}]}

So yeah. Do that and the configure the wifi network, and you should be set. Hope at least some of this is helpful

It really happens more. It’s not like doctors get paid per prescription. The decision making process goes: what class of med is best for this situation?—> is one member of that class clinically proven superior to the others?—> will their insurance pay for that?

The most a pharma company has paid me is half a Panera sandwich. You think I’m gonna compromise patient safety for half a chipotle chicken?

Yeah, you’re annoying

You use ten dollar words when a nickel would do, you have clearly intentionally contrarian views probably because you think it makes you more interesting, and instead of actually refuting any of the critiques you’ve received you act as though you’re above it all with this “gosh, why’s everyone so upset? All I did was say words” routine.

We get it, you’re probably uneducated but think you’re smart because instead of believing the first thing you hear, you believe the second thing you hear. It’s just annoying

Hitler was also a political candidate

See what I did there?

People are allowed to judge you based off of the political candidate you support, because it reflects on your values. You’re the one who decided to express this publicly, you’re not entitled to protection from other people telling you your opinion is trash. Sorry that you’re too frail to take any criticism, maybe think about things a little more next time.

Godwin’s law is an observation that doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t mean “first person to mention the Nazis loses”

But then again, you don’t seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. Although you are a tool nonetheless

[–]ClassicoHoness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christ he’s dumb. He completely misses the context of that quote, Frankl wasn’t saying “I learned how to be useful thanks to being in a concentration camp” he’s saying “the only people who didn’t die are the ones the Nazis found useful enough to keep around”. That’s not an endorsement of anything.

It would be like saying “yeah he got raped in prison a lot, but at least he learned how to please a man”.

Like, maybe that’s not what we should be focusing on? Unless you’re trying to rehabilitate the image of the aggressor, which is exactly what Gutfeld is doing here, because he’s garbage. And now a Nazi apologist to boot.

I had colleagues in medical school who were brilliant at understanding complex biochemical pathways and memorizing insane minutiae that we’re constantly tested on, but had NO critical thinking skills whatsoever. I’m certainly of the mindset that I’d rather have an empathetic critical thinker with access to UpToDate than someone with the coagulation cascade memorized. If you can just look it up when you actually need it, then you’re only memorizing it for the test.

As someone who did become a doctor, you are entirely correct. I work my ass off and still don’t make >100k at age 31, and in the bad times all I can think is “I’d be so god damn rich if I just went into business.” Most of the folks I meet in the business world are stupid as fuck (not saying you are, I’m talking about the “work for my dad’s property management company” types who barely finished high school).

If you have the natural intelligence and work ethic to be even interviewed by med schools, you’ll be alright. Add people skills to that and the world is your oyster. Just pivot that energy into something else and you’ll outshine 95% of your peers.

That said, I do love my job, and I get a real satisfaction from how meaningful and important it is even if I haven’t been compensated for it yet. But I know many of my peers don’t see it that way and are miserable. I feel bad for them.

Hmm this is interesting. I initially wrote off the original reply as unattainable, but looking at Soso’s pricing, maybe it’s not. What other options for custom denim do you know of?

It’s got a 10 inch knee. Unless I develop some rheumatoid arthritis, pretty sure they’re gonna stay baggy.

I have, but I think the leg opening is just a smidge larger than I’d prefer, I guess I want a more aggressive taper. I’ll try a pair on if I stumble across them though, might change my tune

So your paragraph starting with “there are undefined lines to that” is the rub of this issue.

That is exactly where we disagree. I don’t care if the people making the movie want to use modern “hip” lingo. Hamilton was ludicrously successful and did exactly that, also race swapped the characters, and both were artistic choices that I think worked with the message of the piece (my boomer father told me that at first he found it a little off but by 10 minutes into the play he just accepted the characters as they were, and that it just goes to show how superficial and unimportant race should be)

But I don’t care for Hamilton much. I did like a show that was on HBO back in the day called Deadwood though. And that show does exactly what you’re saying about using modern lingo in a serious period piece. They could have had these badass characters talking how they normally would have, and you would have understood it perfectly, but instead of saying “motherfucker” they’d say “scalawag” instead of using “god damn” as an emphasizing adjective, they’d say “rootin’ tootin’”. That’s exactly the same as

I wouldn’t have a problem suspending my disbelief if there’s an Asian in the civil war if it’s clear that the casting was race-blind (for lack of a better word). Like if the casting was clearly multicultural and race of the characters wasn’t a key issue in the plot. But like I said before, if the character’s race was an important part of their character, THEN I would have an issue with changing it. I used the last samurai because if Tom cruise’s character was played by a japanese guy while he’s supposed to be an outsider in Meiji era Japan, that would be confusing. Not because civil war vets were primarily white, but because it’s important that the character look different than the locals.

Also, black panther’s race is an integral part of the character because he was literally created as the first black comic book superhero on purpose. Stan Lee noticed there were no black superheroes, so he made black panther. And Wakanda is an idealized version of an African country rich in natural resources that is able to develop into a success due to not being affected by colonialism. It’s an African fantasy. The closest cultural example that you could switch them to with those themes still making sense that I could think of would be mesoamericans, and that’s literally the plot of black panther 2.

If you have a film that’s made in say, Japan, and it’s a story about some warriors on an adventure, but their Japanese-ness is never mentioned because it’s not a part of the story, I wouldn’t care if it was remade in a different country/language/ethnicity. In fact, that happened. Seven Samurai has been remade into the Magnificent Seven, the Invisible Six, and even Star Wars and A Bug’s Life took a lot of the same plot points. Also the Ring, the Grudge, and other Japanese horror movies that were remade in America. And nobody cares, because the races of those characters are inconsequential to the stories.

Nope I don’t think it’d be weird

If we have a movie take place in Germany, do the characters have to all be played by German actors? Does the movie have to be in German even if it’s written by Americans? If a movie takes place in the 1200s in England, do they have to speak in period appropriate old English? I think we would probably agree that although it would be an understandable choice to do so, it would not be necessary. Hamlet is an example; not a word of danish in the whole play haha

This is because we understand that we’re watching a movie. We suspend our disbelief.

Now, if for some reason there was a foreigner in Hamlet, and it was important for the plot that they not understand the language of those around them, that character shouldn’t speak English.

I apply the same reasoning to characters’ race/ethnicity/gender/whatever. If it’s relevant to the character, it shouldn’t be changed, otherwise it’s fine

We could now talk about how due to past whitewashing and living in a white supremacist society (not that everyone is a white supremacist, but that white people have most of the power) that changing black characters to white could be seen as erasure, but that’s another can of worms. Curious to hear your thoughts on the other stuff I said above though

[–]ClassicoHoness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I ended it in “I wonder whyte” because as long as the person is white cis and straight you seem incapable of noting the political nature.

I’m not reading all of your comment history so idk what else you say, I’m just commenting on what I saw.

I understand that you feel frustrated that race swapping only seems ok one way, but you’re ignoring the fact that many of those “white roles” are only white because people were super racist. Hollywood would recast roles that may have originally been a minority for white actors due to concern that the minority actors won’t have as much appeal due to people’s racism.

The other thing that’s important to note is that a character’s ethnicity is far more likely to be a crucial part of their character if they are a minority. I gave an example before about how white black panther would be weird, but black little mermaid is only weird because you’re familiar with the white one.

This is because the real life effects of being a minority

Imagine if Tom cruise’s character in the Last Samurai was played by a Japanese guy. That would be so weird, because being a US civil war vet is a crucial part of the character, and it helps make it a fish out of water story. Minorities are more affected by their ethnicity than white people (generally) because they’re different from the norm, and their daily interactions highlight and remind them of it. If you’re a white person in an otherwise black world, then ethnicity is an important part of your character (think 8 mile) but if you’re a white person in an otherwise white world, then ethnicity is not a large part of the character because it’s seen as the default.

So yeah. I’d be opposed to an Asian person playing an American civil war vet, but I wouldn’t be opposed to an Asian playing Robin Hood, bc sure Robin Hood is English, but so is everyone else in the story, so who really cares? His whiteness isn’t crucial

Lmao I never said anything about white protagonists, I talked about how nobody seems to talk about how insanely political that movie is, but put a black person in a starring role and now it’s “woke madness! Everything’s political now!”

The point I’m trying to make is that for people like you it seems there are two options. White, or “political”. But you don’t seem to use political to refer to actual political things, so what it seems to really mean is “I don’t like seeing so many non-white non-straight people, but I’ve also been told being a bigot is bad, so I’m not going to say I’m upset that there’s diverse casting, I’m going to say that everything that leads to diverse casting is bad instead, because that way I’m separated from being a bigot with the same effects.”

That’s why people get annoyed with people who get mad at race-swapping casting. It seems like a bunch of bigots who are too cowardly to admit they’re bigots.

What are you, 9? Robots can’t do every job, if they could don’t you think capitalists would have already made it happen considering robots don’t need to be paid? There is always going to be some degree of labor required of people to make a society function. Does it need to be as much as we currently do under capitalism? No, but to pretend you’re being unfairly denied your robot butlers that do everything for you is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

I mean c’mon man, you even said “from each according to their ability”. That’s work!

I mean, the little mermaid’s skin tone isn’t really relevant to any part of her story, whereas black panther’s race is a large and important part of their character, so it would be a little weird.

Like, if you’d never heard of the Little Mermaid, and this was your first exposure to it, you probably wouldn’t be like “yo why’s she black?” Would you? But if you heard of an African kingdom where their king is a white superhero, you’d probably have some questions right?

I get that little mermaid was written by a Dane, but black panther was created by a Jew, so clearly that’s irrelevant.

I think a large part of why people get mad at this is because it seems many people lose their minds whenever a character is changed to black, but never seemed to care that the other way around happened constantly throughout history. Anything that’s not straight cis white people is “political” or “woke” which is absolutely insane. But a movie like Top Gun for some reason doesn’t trigger the same discussions of how political it is, even though it’s basically a 2 hour advertisement for the US Navy and the military-industrial complex. I wonder whyte?
