And since these were #US-exclusive I've got to mod my #Xbox360 for them anyway.

  • Plus they are AFAICT the only "#Hybrid #Xbox #Game" that works on both a regular Xbox and the Xbox 360 and is technically two games in one:

  • The #XGD2 partition for the classic Xbox is at the beginning and the #XGD3 partition for the 360 at the end with a #Firmware #Update telling the 360's drive to read the disc "backwards", as they have two distinct games with different assets on the same disc!

Es gibt ja vermutlich kaum etwas Brisanteres an einem Computer als ein #BIOS- oder #Firmware-Update. #Asus wollte hier heute so etwas durchführen.

Wenn ich mir anschaue, wie wenig Mühe die sich hier beim Text gegeben haben, habe ich direkt kein gutes Gefühl. Dass der Balken dann letztlich bis 101% lief, hat das Vertrauen ins System nicht gerade gesteigert.

🚨 Over 100 Dell Latitude & Precision laptops vulnerable to "ReVault" firmware flaws 🛡️ Attackers can gain persistent access even after OS reinstall or bypass Windows login with physical access! Users urged to update firmware, disable unused features & enable chassis intrusion detection. 🔒 #Cybersecurity #Dell #ReVault #Firmware Vulnerability ➡️ cyberinsider.com/dell-laptops-

CyberInsider · Dell Laptops Vulnerable to ‘ReVault’ Attacks That Survive OS ReinstallA set of five severe vulnerabilities collectively dubbed “ReVault” has been discovered in Dell’s ControlVault3 firmware and associated Windows APIs.

Listening to the current episode of the Unnamed RE podcast, I got to learn about #DeskThing, a project repurposing the otherwise defunct Spotify Car Thing.

While I really like to see hardware being saved from ending up as ewaste, I was surprised to learn that very specifically, #AMD #hardware was having issues when using #adb. Interesting stuff.
They briefly mention at the bottom here that a #firmware upgrade should be worked on to fix it: carthing.wiki/legacy/adb/

Golem.de · Kaum erkennbare Malware: Lenovo warnt vor gefährlichen Firmware-Lücken - Golem.deBy Marc Stöckel

Was thinking what to do with the ever growing #Linux #Firmware we have. Recently #Nvidia tossed in ~60MB of files required by #Nouveau drivers for newer cards. (Not sure how much needed). git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k

So I went looking into firmware compression and enabled this in the #Kernel but in the end this did not really lower my footprint. So I ended up splitting the 570.x firmware files into a separate package leaving some symlinks in the nvidia directory. Now I at least have a choice.

git.kernel.orgnvidia: add GSP-RM version 570.144 firmware images - kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git - Repository of firmware blobs for use with the Linux kernel
