i think the jtag vias (which would be marginally easier to solder onto) are all underneath the connector, so i would need to remove the board from the front half to access them but so far i haven't been able...

Show thread

this is what i bought the 30awg wires for and yes i did a test with my finest soldering iron tip and immediately bridged across two of the pins (shown here already removed)

Show thread

i'm trying to rescue a bricked GP2X, the ext plug gives JTAG pins but there's no way i can solder individual wires on that fine a pitch and none of those test pads seem related... suggestions?

this was brought to my attention so i'll make it a point to say this again:

i am tired of self-absorbed patronising unitedstatian gringos and their continuing attitude that things that are financially easy for them must be financially easy for the third world they continue to exploit

I'm getting spurious FreeBSD kernel panics along with the random zombie'ing of my X11 server. I ran Memtest86+ to try & find hardware-caused problems, but I know that's far from the only tool.

Any recommendations for other amd64/x64 tools I can put on a USB stick & boot into?

If you accept the obvious retort as both correct and not invalidating the question, then life, the universe, and everything make perfectly quixotic sense.

it might just be my mood swings but the orchestrated two final bars of "journey of the sorcerer" that close off the post-credits of the last episode of the 1981 tv adaptation of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy hit me very strongly emotionally

This AIO PC says it came with 8 GB RAM, & the lone stick I examined & cleaned said the same. How worried should I be that Memtest86+ is reporting only 6 GB ("6063M")?

Want to make a difference? The next time you run across someone pushing this agenda, punch them as hard as you can. The only way they lose is if it is too painful, too costly for them to exist in the public sphere. They won't stop lying until someone is willing to stop them.
