We need a good modeling language for general purpose electronics, some sort of UML for hardware.

I mean, that's what the schematic is for. But a logical diagram doesn't tell you the correct trace width and spacing for a particular impedance for a particular substrate, or the experience and context to know if that even matters for this project or not.

Holy! Yes!

This I'm afraid is different than the traditional approaches of recursive self-training and self-distillation. Much scarier.

Through what means exactly? Is Astra just doing byte manipulation? Or can there be an "SQL for neural network weights"?

Not even a scrape unfortunately, it's someone's curated and opinionated playlists of what they consider "interesting"

Some version of Windows + custom software

There are a surprising number of Linux thing running webstuff likely hacked together and shipped. I find a lot of vending machine computers on eBay that boot Ubuntu or whatever and start some sort of webservice thing.

What custom software though? How does it get the data? What is it vulnerable to? What about the backend software, that's also part of the system? It's easy to say "it is hardware running software" but it obviously goes deeper than that.

I mean the easiest step would be finding someone that works with the software installing them and see if they like to talk.

If you're the kind of person that's good at making relationships you might even talk them out of old or dead hardware.

How would you find someone?

Very interesting. Does it intercept 'Open File/Folder' I wonder?

Yes, it intercepts this action and displays a custom overlay, where you can choose to open files from android, or the container, as for flexibility.

are you ok?

> kind of like age old there used to be hackintosh for macs

Have you checked out the hackintosh community lately? They have a near fully functional port to Snapdragon now.

adb runs in userspace Android. It's not a serial protocol/stack. Maybe fastboot.

Yes thanks for the correction, I meant fastboot
