Because it can be very finicky and I don't know what the ramifications would be if the wire length did cause issues flashing the firmware.
I would follow the installation steps and make a backup and check that back up but I don't know how badly errors during the flashing process would effect the laptop.
Plenty of people also seem to use the CH341A unmodified without issue but I don't know if the 5V issue may cause problems in rare situations or if it's a complete gamble of whether or not it could brick your device. If it's only an issue if you do something like jostle the clip while it's doing something than it would be a lot easier for me to just go that route
I think they were under the impression I want to install Libreboot on the Raspberry Pi. Maybe they didn't get a good look at the photo or how it was cropped confused them
Correct but it can be used to flash Libreboot on devices like the ThinkPad I mentioned in the title.
I'm asking if this configuration would be effective considering I've heard of people having issues with longer wires causing problems. Adding jumpers and a breadboard is just adding to that length.
I feel like that's a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott's video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy
I guess that's something I should be more forward with. I don't really know what I am trying to filter out. I feel like my apartment can feel stuffy at times and agitate my sinuses but that may have to do with my AC unit pumping largely unfiltered air from the a busy downtown area into my unit
The lack of interest in it even amongst tech communities and bridges (they can link Matrix servers and Discord servers) constantly being down has kept me from giving Matrix a second chance.
I think it was a Linux gaming community last time that got flooded with hate content after the bridge went down and the Matrix side was left to itself.
Reddit unfortunately. Every so often I'll search for a topic online and in the related posts/communities section I will find an obscure one and just see what the top voted posts are
You know that episode of Seinfeld where someone eats a candy bar with a knife and fork and it just spreads into the wild because people don't really question it?
