    Hey, we can work around that. Tell me more about this firmware crack though, I certainly am interested in modifying my hardware

      Well, this crack allows me to increase the padding around the buttons up top, allowing easier handling. My drive however will likely be neither hard nor solid, but probably floppy.

      The code that needs to be injected for this to work needs official approval first, though.

        I too would very much enjoy thus firmware crack, unfortunately the approval for such a thing is comparatively hard to come by and increasingly is frowned upon. I’ve thought about going around the official approval route but that is a headache of its own.

        (I live on TERF Island, and it sucks)

          The dumbest part for me is that I already have an appointment with the cracked firmware distributors but it won’t go anywhere because I can’t even get on a waiting list to talk about offical approval.

          We’re gonna get there. I can’t believe in either of our healthcare systems, but I believe in us.

                  I think I might be really bad at fixing computers, because it always ends in a data leak.

                  Also, the people on blahaj zone are the best❤️
                  I’ve had so many genuinely nice interactions here, it makes up for all the bad ones in other places

                    It’s OK, we’re all just learning and leaks can be cleaned up.

                    It is nice, isn’t it? I’m so glad it was my introduction to the Fediverse. I like venturing out into the rest of it but I’m so glad I have blahaj zone to come back to, and it clearly brings in some nice people from other places too because you’re here ❤️
