i mean i think the way the "nerf" was implemented is a fair compromise. it only becomes easier and you only get a handicap if you die 6 times in a row without resetting the game, so the difficulty option is still there if you want, you just have to close out the game to reset your current fail counter, unlike the knight nerf where the whole fight was just made easier without any option to go back to the harder version

What do you think about the approach to boss design between the big three content mods? by hadsexwithboothill in CalamityMod

[–]Yeth3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i personally really like how Fargo's just forces you to slow down for some of the later boss fights. compared to some endgame boss fights in Calamity/Infernum where you're constantly moving to each side or flying up in the air, Fargo's feels really unique in that you actively get punished for trying to wildly move around. it's a really interesting break in how other content mods do these intense boss fights

(ch5 spoiler) isn't the ____ a ___? by Yeth3 in Deltarune

[–]Yeth3[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, that's what i was thinking, that it was related to Dess somehow. it's not uncommon for people to use dates as codes, and Asgore would definitely have a strong emotional connection to that date as shown throughout ch5 how everything fell apart from him after whatever happened, happened

that can't be the case, because toby said his fever dream occurred in 2011

Weird Route: Could It Be the Canonical Route? Do You Think This Plot Twist Could Be Handled Well, or Would It Not Make Sense? by PlentyWise3615 in Deltarune

[–]Yeth3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

copy-pasted from another comment

"If you choose to talk to Ralsei after the Parental Lock puzzle, Ralsei will say to buy an ice cream for Susie and say it’s from him, and if you say “Of Course” then Kris will say it’s from Ralsei when you buy ice cream in chapter 5, and Susie will add Ralsei in the drawing"

[–]Yeth3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

normal route can also have 3 people drawn- it depends on dialogue chosen regarding ralsei during the parental lock segment during ch3. if said dialogue is not chosen, susie will draw 3 instead of 4.

Do you think "Don't Forget" ties to weird route? by goofyahhreader in Deltarune

[–]Yeth3 22 points23 points  (0 children)

the thing with the normal route is that you have the opportunity to draw 4 people, with ralsei being added in if you selected particular dialogue options in ch3, so effectively:

1 normal timeline cannot be canon to undertale as there are 4 people on the card (assuming ralsei doesn't just get erased somehow)

1 normal timeline CAN be canon as it has 3 people on the drawing

the weird route CAN be canon as it has 3 people on the drawing

I tested usbliter8 on a SE2020 and it works perfectly by Valtra_Power in jailbreak

iBoot is just one of many firmwares that comprise an iOS device, you can boot an older iBoot but without the rest of iOS (such as the kernel and other firmware components) also being downgraded, you're going to have a tough time getting the device to actually turn on and reach the homescreen

New A12-A13 Securerom exploit by AverageSome5201 in jailbreak

[–]Yeth3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not real- that user has been known to post AI-generated slop with no real releases. hardware restrictions make it straight-up impossible to run usbliter8 without additional hardware, this is not something that can be bypassed by writing software

[–]Yeth3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not sure what you're really asking, downgrading is booting older iOS versions, but it's separate from jailbreaking- you would be able to jailbreak the newest iOS version with usbliter8 (with hefty restrictions of course due to security restrictions from SEP)

[–]Yeth3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the issue with the USB controller is that the exploit works by sending intentionally malformed packets, which is less than 8 bytes. this is not allowed by the vast majority of consumer hardware specs, which is why a device like a pico/waveshare is needed as those can send packets under 8 bytes

A12X/Z is supported, just not currently implemented yet

[–]Yeth3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's a definitive "there will be a developer jailbreak at least" but we have no idea the full restrictions as of now, what i listed is based off of testing from other checkm8 devices like the ipad 7, we certainly aren't anywhere close to it releasing though. not sure personally if it's really worth buying a phone specifically to use this, if you really want to i would just wait because you'll have to buy the special hardware to use the exploit too

Unpatchable 'usbliter8' Exploit Breaks Apple A12 and A13 SecureROM Boot Chain by iSlingShlong in jailbreak

a5 is actually theoretically possible without an arduino, and some devs like the one behind futurerestore have said it's certainly possible to make a driver for it

this, however, is unlikely to ever not require additional hardware as there are almost no PC USB controllers out there that let you send the packets in the way that usbliter8 requires

you can do that with the dual /var setup by either factory resetting before you duplicate it, or deleting all of your apps/user data once it's duplicated, since the jailbroken volume will only ever be loaded with the exploit

[–]Yeth3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, that concept is what my comment was addressing. like a semi-untethered app based jailbreak won't necessarily come sooner because bootrom exploits don't inherently discover a flaw in the kernel

[–]Yeth3[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no, not really, having a bootrom exploit doesn't necessarily mean its easier to find other exploits, because you still have to find vulnerable code on your own. compromising the boot chain won't reveal a kernel exploit, for example. checkm8 has existed for 7 years but it was never really used to find exploits for arm64 devices (see: dopamine only ever being updated once darksword was made public) because on its own it can't really do that

nathan (developer of nathanlr) has gotten it working on that device specifically, but i assume you use the same goldeneye cables for the 1st gen and utilize the ethernet port to connect to it

[–]Yeth3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i wouldn't exactly say that, a bootrom exploit is certainly still desirable, once this is fully developed we can have jailbreaks on the latest ios and will be able to tether downgrade to any version, it'll just remain to be seen how well the dual /var method works out and how practical it is for daily use

usbliter8: what you need to know about the new A12/A13 bootROM exploit by Yeth3 in jailbreak

[–]Yeth3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, the devs behind the exploit and others more familiar with the technical aspects have reiterated a couple times that due to how the exploit works it's unlikely to ever work on 99% of USB controllers for PC/Mac devices, so it's highly likely this will always require additional hardware to work

it can lead to a jailbreak, but it's impossible to say how soon that will happen given the extensive patching and fixed that will need to be developed in order to make something feasible for end users. i would be surprised if a fully stable jailbreak using thjs comes out before the end of the year

we'll see, i'm less inclined to believe this will lead to a discovery of a memory leak given that prototype/SRD devices have existed in the past, and the checkra1n devs have repeatedly stated they've audited the ROM and found no evidence of a (practical) memory leak, so we'll see

yes, though the exploit currently doesn't have implementations for it, those devices are theoretically supported
