Yeah, often stolen dealership software isn't going to be enough for this stuff. Be prepared to spend your time dumping flash chips, reverse engineering and patching firmware.

Even the article makes it clear that this repair is perfectly possible, just more difficult as you have to transplant a chip from one screen to another.

You can totally disconnect and re-connect cables while the phone is on, although I have no idea what will happen if you do this with a new iphone.

Apple probably did not design it this way to make repairs difficult, but rather because it simply worked for them. Why should they need to consider independent repair shops? I agree that it's not acceptable for Apple to deliberately

Very interesting to see how this will end up impacting the Assange extradition trial. Who's gonna agree to extradite him knowing that Trump was planning to assassinate him? Seems like a hard sell. E: Turns out that this isn't even

Why does this get downvotes? It's simply how things are, FOIA is a rather adversarial process. If you spend any time on muckrock you will see that only a very small % of requests actually get serious replies from the government, more o

Have you ever filed a FOIA request? I guess not. Denials for outright false reasons are the norm, responses routinely take 10x longer than legally allowed. Just go browse muckrock for a while to see what a mess it is.

It's still the norm in much of Europe, I wouldn't be surprised if half of Europeans would consider it OK to drive home after half a bottle of wine.

There usually aren't too many to choose from. Select the cuisine you want and read up on the individual restaurants elsewhere.

They aren't, it's a constant struggle for survival unless you become Gordon Ramsay. If someone wanted to make money with restaurants they'd probably be better off sticking to something that scales better.

Dunno, I've known lots of rich kids who flew private to work these kinds of unpaid internships. They seem to think that the experience was more than worth it, at the very least it's something to brag about in any food related conv
