Useful for whom ? The CIA ?
- edent 6mo agoI used it for both GrapheneOS (it flashed a new OS to my Android phone) and for updating the firmware for a niche LoRaWAN electronics board. The alternative would have been booting to Windows, downloading some dodgy .exe from an advert infested site, and running untrusted code which inexplicably required my admin password. I'm pleased the Web is able to put a stop to nonsense like that.
- embedding-shape 6mo agoPeople with devices to flash firmware to? Which basically is a lot of things, from musicians to physicians, and a lot in-between.
