kristofferR··on Jailbreaking the Switch 2
"I am the owner of this device, but it has a horrible bug I need to fix myself unfortunately. Take a look at this WER dump and combine with these pdb files, try to figure out where the software crashes"

"Okay,...."

kristofferR··on Eight Bits of Trust: eMudhra's CA keys cracked in milliseconds
This is amazing! I've already been able to grab firmware images for two locked down ESP32-using devices that I struggled to jailbreak before.
kristofferR··on FLUX 3 Image Klein
I find this stuff really insane to think about, that it has "knowledge" about how most of the world looks like in less than 10GB.
kristofferR··on Using AI to reverse engineer hardware
LGs are fairly good: https://tv.slada.sk/guides/rooting-guide

Others like Samsung are unfortunately way worse, hard to secure.

kristofferR··on What I self-host
Yeah, it interfaces way better with Radarr/Sonarr. I still run Jackett though, good for manual searches.
kristofferR··on What I self-host
Because it's not about setting it up, it's about not getting outgoing mail perceived as spam by someone. Borderline impossible without scale. Even doing everything correct is not enough.
kristofferR··on Gemini 4 Argon
Yeah, a month ago I wanted to test out Gemini-3.5-Transcribe, but had to wait a completely indeterminate time, got the offensive message "Your Google Cloud billing account is being processed. Processing time varies from a few moments to a few weeks.", like I'm just worthless scum. Took over a week for no reason.

Ended up with Soniox instead, took minutes to get started.

kristofferR··on The super intelligence shit is a humiliation ritual for OpenAI
Then he did an executive order officiating the renaming [1]. Now The White House considers people who still use the term "AI" as "THE ENEMY" [2]

kristofferR··on The Mathocalypse
One of their unreleased models hacked HuggingFace without having internet access.

I bet sharing unreleased models with outsiders safely ain't that easy.

kristofferR··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
To decrypt the game and make it possible to rip you need a current firmware exploit/jailbreak. Until the firmware that GTA 6 requires is jailbroken it won't be possible to rip it
kristofferR··on AnyPS5: Port PS5 binaries to PC without emulation (87% system libraries mapped)
No, to decrypt the game and make it possible to rip you need a current firmware exploit/jailbreak. Until the firmware that GTA 6 requires is jailbroken it won't even be possible to rip it, nevermind emulate it.
kristofferR··on ChatGPT Pro 500
Migrating takes minutes, no need to do the changeover to worse local models until the situation is truly dire.
kristofferR··on Grok 4.7
It would make the benchmark way better obviously, by showing how their new model compares to their competitors, the whole point of benchmarks and graphs.
kristofferR··on Grok 4.7
Pulled out from letting them resell Astra access, that's not a limitation on running a benchmark.
kristofferR··on Grok 4.7
That's not accurate. OpenAI doesn't allow Grok to provide Astra to Cursor customers anymore, but it doesn't ban anyone from using Astra via alternative harnesses.

If Cursor wanted to include Astra in CursorBench nothing would stop them, they could easily have spent half an hour vibecoding in OpenAI API key support - if it hadn't been convenient to neglect to do that.

kristofferR··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
macOS 27 is way faster and more stable than macOS 26 though, so unless you are on an ancient version it doesn't make sense to not upgrade.
kristofferR··on Grok 4.7
What's with the deceptive graph on top? Not including Astra can't have been an oversight, did the model compare poorly to it?
kristofferR··on Warez: The Infrastructure and Aesthetics of Piracy (2021)
Cool, will be spending hours today listening to it!

Frankly .tk domain is as much of a nostalgia hit as the music, weren't aware it is still around.

kristofferR··on We must pace the frontier
Cloud models will always have massive benefits of scale.

Caching is the simplest one to understand, cloud providers often reach a 90% cache hit rate, so hosting the same request locally on the exact same model on the same hardware is often way less efficient than on the cloud where a group of users generates a healthy cache.

kristofferR··on iPhone Duo
That's not true, the journalists are hands on with it right now.

Here's a live stream of the popular obnoxious streamer, he held it a few minutes ago (also talked with MKBHD).

kristofferR··on Claude, change the "Add to Cart" button to blue
Yeah, but it's not funny since it doesn't match reality.
kristofferR··on ChatGPT Is Throwing 404
That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404
kristofferR··on Google Antigravity TOS: 3rd party usage can get Google account suspended
Yes. I'd avoid using services like this.
kristofferR··on Elevated Errors for Multiple Models
This ain't just slow/at capacity, this is dead down.
kristofferR··on ChatGPT Is Throwing 404
Wooohoo, was in bad need of a reset!
kristofferR··on Google Antigravity TOS: 3rd party usage can get Google account suspended
So? There's still a connection to products not provided by them.

Remember that this is a TOS, so you gotta presume that they will act as malicious as possible within the text.

kristofferR··on Gemini-3.5-Transcribe
" Your Google Cloud billing account is being processed. Processing time varies from a few moments to a few weeks. "

What kind of bullshit is this? I want to test out Gemini-3.5-Transcribe in my app, but have to wait a completely indeterminate time, have already waited over 24 hours. OpenRouter took seconds to set up

kristofferR··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
They have their own apps and repos. By your standard Ubuntu is a bunch of dotfiles on top of Debian
kristofferR··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
Come on, this is so dishonest, his personality has basically nothing to do with Omarchys popularity, and it has loads of merit. It's way more pleasant to use than all other distros I've tried.

To claim that it is super simple for everyone to transform Arch into Omarchy clones without reading the Omarchy repos and that everyone should just do that instead because of politics is beyond absurd.

kristofferR··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
> Creating a useful product that people want -- this is the hard part.

When you do that you'll just a bunch of people clowning on the project due to the politics of the founder.
