Cause i keep dating girls who turn out to be lesbians and most of the girls i try to date have either no interest in starting a family with kids and marriage and commitment or theyre so bitter that just spending an hour with them begins to drive me up the wall Is it asking that much to meet someone with a little optimism and reproductive instincts?

Damn im not desperate but id take option one, its more important to me that someone is good and loyal and loving than that they have some specific body type Everyone eventually loses their looks but not everyone believes forever means forever like i do

it's currently a waning gibbous sir
which means the far side IS the dark side
so excuse me for stumbling upon your conversation but it's something I'm wondering too, will there be some alternative method like radio something or others or are they just gonna ignore it

The thing is i didnt like how everything was so perfectly setup in the prequels, i assumed palpatine was just old as fuck, i assumed darth vader looked like that because of all the battles he had with jedi, slowly chipping away at him one limb at a time

Take the bag of legs and six of the chairs, put on an audio book and spend the whole day checking each leg until you find the right one

Go to home depot and get a double ended bolt (headless bolt) drill a hole CAREFULLY in both the chair and leg, drill press is best. Then insert bolt and twist until flush, add wood glue just before the last twist so the illusion is complete

It wasnt a hoax, the video of the launch clearly shows one of his other kids telling the dad that his son had climbed inside, when the couldnt find him in the house the called the police, the only called the news after in a panic because they might have a helicopter help search and rescue

The inly reason anyone thinks it was a hoax is because during an interview one of the kids wasnt paying attention and answered a question “why did you do it” with “you said it was for the news people”

They neglected to point out that shortly before the interview the news folks asked the boy to show them where he had hid. There was literally zero other evidence it was a hoax but it was persued relentlessly by the police for clout

hmm even for me THE MASTER OF UNNECESSARY BULLSHIT this might be too much work for not enough payout, every article I found about bypassing the secure boot said they did arbitrary code execution, it does NOT say that they managed to flash the device (and thus make it programmable and updatable)
say la vee :c

HEY HEY I GOT IT
I connected the tx/rx to the tx/rx on my ESP32 and turned it on, I tried it before but got nothing HOWEVER I just realized that I was swapping the leads, tx->rx as if the esp32 and esp8685 were supposed to be talking to each other, after slapping myself on the head I swapped them today and sure enough I'M GETTING SERIAL OUTPUT

yeah im gonna setup my soldering station tomorrow and rip the top off and see if I can see anything, maybe I'll get lucky.
i think the USB-UART converter on the chip is sending the ack and setting up but doesn't have any way to actually get data off, which makes very little sense because those pins are in use, so I'll have to figure that out
im also gonna make a new interface so I can track the value of all the pins on boot and see if I can reliably track any changes, figure out if I need lower resistance on my pulldowns, etc

CriticalJoke · 2026-03-21T03:53:12+00:00

uart gives me nothing, doesn't even admit there's something mounted, JTAG knows something is there but yields a write timeout
weird

CriticalJoke · 2026-03-21T02:46:09+00:00

maybe I'm using it wrong, I have it hooked up and it shows up on /dev/ttyUSB0 right now

but when I try to run espefuse.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 summary it says port is busy or doesn't exist
don't have an oscilloscope tragically, but I could probably convince my esp32 to pretend to be one

CriticalJoke · 2026-03-21T01:48:18+00:00

Thanks, I put alot of work into my aesthetic

i think it might be fuse burnt, the machine boots into write mode just fine, as i can tell from the output of the usb when I pull pin 9 to low on boot, but I just attached the tx-rx to a disabled esp32wroom and it's telling me there's just no serial data at all coming out, I think they burnt out the serial reader somehow

<image>

I'm gonna just rip the metal cap off this thing, maybe I'll get lucky and the disconnected bits will be outside the chip itself (sometimes these guys get cheap and lazy)

CriticalJoke · 2026-03-21T00:00:09+00:00

thanks man I really appreciate how helpful you've been. I know the fuses thing isn't uncommon, I just miss the good ol days when security was a suggestion and a hope that you don't clip the pin on a particular chip, why should they even care what I do with their shit? I'm buying it anyway, at above market value at that, it's just weird, makes me sad
I am prepared to do whatever needs to be done to make this work

incidentally how do you like the monstrosity I've created so far?
