  • Best "hack" I've heard is to NOT TRY to go to sleep. It is involuntary. It is not something you can will. The harder you try the further back it moves.

    Instead, simply focus on creating an environment conducive to sleep (safe, warm, comfortable, etc.).

    e.g. Try not to have an active going to bed ritual (such that a bunch of business abruptly ends with the expectation of sleep), but more of a "coming in for landing" ritual, where you need to do less and less until your mind decides it might as well sleep since there is nothing to do.

  • In theory, yes. There is a first-stage bootloader (that actually finds, loads, verifies, and jumps-into fastboot) baked into the hardware (implemented in fuses and ROMs [like REAL roms, not "flashable" ROMs]), and AFAIK it cannot effectively be modified after the phone is manufactured, so they try to keep it as simple as possible.

    So if it were real, the psuedocode would be something like this:

     
        
var fastbootPartition=locateFastbootPartition();

if (fastbootPartition == null || !verifySignature(fastbootPartition))
{
     // AFAIK, this code block is already a thing in production, but the
    // message is more like a "signature failed" or "corrupted" than
    // a "you done goofed".
    displayRudeMessage();
    halt();
}

var fastbootAddress=load(fastBootPartition);
jumpTo(fastbootAddress);

  • I seem to recall owning a microsoft tablet that could not have secure boot disabled. Why do you suppose it would be hard when (much like phones) there are already products (like chromebooks) that have done this?

  • Yes, I touch-type, and use a kinesis advantage keyboard that makes touch typing "almost unavoidable" (as one blogger wrote). I also use the Dvorak layout, and get nearly 100 wpm without really trying (and using low-effort brain-to-keyboard data transfer is the way to go, imho).

  • IIRC, it opens a gui modal asking if you want to give the terminal permission to read the folder. Not quite the same, but still weird and jarring.

  • Ah yes... NULL has been shipped

    Jump

  • Imagine holding a null in your hand... hopefully they sent you only one, and not zero nulls, or worse... -1... and don't even get be started on imaginary nulls.

  • I sent a bug report to LinkedIn, and they asked me to try different broswers and report on which ones are and are not effected, along with the browser version numbers i tested... as if I'm one of their webdevs.
