I’ll wait and see when someone finally produces a RISC-V chip that can keep up with the big boys. But they can’t even compete with ARM at the moment, so I am not holding my breath.

While the message has always been loud and clear, it still is hard to reach those idiots with their fingers in their ears and shouting LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR at the top of their lungs.

Wow. If he loses even more connection to reality, he’ll start getting transparent and floating away.

Traitor.

Wow. They started to get “creative”.

Does anyone know if this image is AI generated or is it just stolen?

Wrong. Read the analysis. It is a BT vulnerability. One can probably design a cheap attack system that just sends a erase flash command to any BT device in reach, instantly bricking every BT enabled ESP32 device.

It is not easy to determine how fixable this is. IIRC, the ESP32 has the wireless stack hidden from user space, and I am not sure if it is a blob included during link time, or if it is stored in a ROM of the chip. I do have the chips and the development enviroment in my studio, but (luckily) I decided to use a different chip for my project.

But I know there is a load of systems using either the ESP32 as their main processor, or as an auxiliary processor to add WiFi or BT capabilities, so this really is a big oh shit moment.

Just wait until a jester creates a software that sends an erase flash backdoor command to any BT device it sees.

While I have a few ESP32 in my collection, I am now happy that I chose a different platform for my project.

I wonder what people will say in Nürnberg next week at Embedded World.

Maybe, just maybe, someone in the right position could question his mental health status

Even Idiots are good for something. One can reap millions off their pensions and savings if they are just dumb enough.

And I’d be surprized if anyone of them actually learned a thing from this fiasco.

Many years ago, I learned that the average household only has five books. Looking at my library of more than ten thousand books, I realized that to reach that average, our family basically deprives a small town of their books. A depressing thought.

This speech should run 24/7 on all American channels.

That is the speech America needs to watch. On repeat.

Like fusion power, just 20-50 years away.

Never apologize for saying the truth.

Again, it has been shown that a quantum computer is better than a normal computer in solving worthless quantum benchmarks. Hurray.

I still wait for any quantum computer solving a real problem like those normal computers solve every day.

In a few small outlets. I have not seen a big headline on the front page of a national paper, or an opener on the nayor TV networks news.

Please don’t post while drunk or otherwise intoxicated.

And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office. When will the US media finally start to ask about this?
