Reading about different computer things on wikipedia - because it's a lot easier than reading my textbook on the subject - and went to a list of all pages that link to a particular thing. One of those was the Macintosh LC II (2). "Hmm," I ask myself, "they don't call things 'macintosh' anymore, could this be the Apple II?" And I'm pretty sure it is. I hovered over it and saw "Apple increased the RAM to 4 megabytes." I said out loud, sarcastically, "Four megabytes? Woow we're living in the future."

For comparison, here's the RAM on my current apple laptop

#yes i use apple shut up #yes my textbook says absolutely nothing about repairing apple computers i know #i hate it too tbh i just want to know how to access the firmware on my laptop but apple does not want me to the little bitches #i can change the boot drive but given that i only have the one - my internal ssd - that doesn't do much #although i think i can boot off my class flash drive now but theres no OS on it #specs fixes computers #for the record i haven't fixed anything yet. ive just taken apart a tower PC at the local community college a couple times #i haven't even accessed the bios on my work computer but to be fair i haven't been scheduled there all month #i enjoy taking apart computers ive discovered #OH WAIT SECTOR ONE I THINK IVE LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT MY MOMS BUSTED LAPTOP

I’m building this thing

This type of device is called a cyberdeck, and there’s a ton of ways to build them. This design, as far as I’m aware, is the first of its kind. Pulling apart the two halves of the keyboard reveals a small touch display.

I’ve been developing this with a friend for awhile now, and am nearing the fabrication phase. It’s not done yet, but I regularly update the documentation and models as I go.

You will be able to download all the files you’ll need to build your own copy from the repository itself: cad files, keyboard firmware, instructions, circuit schematics, etc.

Specs include:

Quad-core ARM processor

Up to 8GB of RAM

Supports m.2 SSD

Boot from micro SD

Built in wireless

USB-C charging

Capacitive touch screen (5 points of contact)

40-pin GPIO

Fully open-source & configurable.

A bit of an oversight on my part: The components for the keyboard are really small, and the screen needs to be modded to fit in the case, but other areas of the design can be tweaked if that’s not something you’re comfortable doing.

I saw a post about flash drive safety and it’s bugging me so I gotta talk about it

Someone in the replies already said it but the post is a huge exaggeration of what happens when a drive fails. First off, why the fuck are you leaving a usb plugged in all the time anyway. What purpose does that serve. Secondly, if leaving it in all the time is frying things that frequently, I think you might have bigger problems.

As someone who is actually going through professional data recovery on a drive right now, know there are in general 3 tiers of recovery, and each one depends on the type of drive and what’s wrong with it. The basic level, level 1, averages around $250 CAD here. This is bare bones recovery for simpler issues, things that don’t require physical repairs to the drive, such as failed allocation and corruption. Yes that’s expensive, but a far cry from the $950 that person was quoted.

Level 2 starts at about $450 CAD and is where you start to see physical damage like circuit board failures or firmware problems.

In my particular case, the drive I sent in is a level 3 issue because the controller board failed and they needed to do a forensic recovery. That’s where you start getting closer to the $900-1000 range, and where you start questioning if you’re even going to be able to get any data off of it. The particular store I used does not charge full price for failed recoveries, and allows payment plans if needed. Keep in mind I sent in an internal SSD, not a flash drive. Flash drives are usually cheaper.

It’s fine to store photos on flash drives. Yeah they’re meant for temporary storage, but if you have another backup somewhere, it’s fine to have a copy on flash drive. I found one from almost 20 years ago that still works - it’s no big deal, so long as you’re making sure it’s not the only copy you have and you’re taking decent care of the usb. Treat it gently, press “eject usb” on your computer when you’re done with it, keep a backup, and you’re fine.

And why the fuck would you leave it in 24/7 anyway?????

#I’m sensitive about this because I’m going through it #also because I work in it #I do know what I’m talking about contrary to popular belief #anyway I’m not reblogging the post it’s mostly right but in a fearmongering way #and $950 for a flash drive forensic recovery is fucking insane lmao #I’m assuming that’s usd #like what the fuck did you do to that thing #throw it in the shredder??#steph speaks #I should mention I don’t have my files back yet #they said 4-7 weeks and week 4 doesn’t start until tomorrow so

say the OEM Apple SSD that your 2015 Macbook Pro came with died. fully dead. computer doesn't even recognize it as a drive. you replace it with a reputable non-Apple SSD because Apple wants your firstborn child in exchange for replacement parts. now, several years later, you want to upgrade to macOS Monterey to stay on top of security updates. the upgrade fails because for some reason an Apple SSD has to be present in order for a required firmware update to be installed. Apple Support recommends that you swap in your original Apple SSD, upgrade to Monterey to install the firmware updates, then swap your non-Apple SSD back in and upgrade to Monterey again. you don't have an Apple SSD because yours died, so presumably you have to buy one. you throw your computer out of a moving vehicle instead

HDD vs SSD

The technology behind hard disk drives is well known and well-tested. Hard disk drives have been around for more than 50 years, steadily increasing their storage capacity and decreasing their physical size. HDDs rely on spinning disks, or platters, to read and write data.

How hard drives work

Hard disk drives consist of one or more magnetically-sensitive platters, an actuator arm with a read/write head on it for each platter, and a motor to spin the platters and move the arms. There is also an I/O controller and firmware that tells the hardware what to do and communicates with the rest of the system.

Each platter is organized into concentric circles called tracks. Tracks are divided into logical units called sectors. Each track and sector number results in a unique address that can be used to organize and locate data. Data is written to the nearest available area. There is an algorithm that processes the data before it’s written, allowing the firmware to detect and correct errors.

There is another process, called TRIM, that informs the SSD that it can skip rewriting certain data when it erases blocks. Because there are a finite number of times any block can be rewritten, this is an important process that prevents premature wear on the storage drive.

To further prevent wear on the drive, there is an algorithm to make sure that each block in the drive gets an equal amount of read/write processes. This process is called wear leveling and happens automatically as the drive is working.

Because the read/write process requires data movement, SSDs are usually overprovisioned with storage; there is always a certain amount of the drive that is not reported to the operating system, and not accessible to the user. This allows room for the drive to move and delete items without affecting the overall storage capacity.

Drawbacks

SSDs are newer technology, and as such, are more expensive than HDDs. Although they are catching up, it can be harder to find large-capacity solid state drives. HDDs can be as much as 2.5 times larger.

Benefits

Solid state drives deliver faster load times for games, applications, and movies. Because of the technology they use, SSDs are lighter and better able to withstand movement and droppage. In addition, solid state drives use less energy, allowing computers to run cooler.

A Western Do dedo está revelando hoje sua mais recente soma à família WD Blue - o SSD SN580 NVMe. Uma unidade PCIe 4.0 x4 sem DRAM, traz melhorias de desempenho em relação ao resultado líder atual da traço - o SN570 lançado no final de 2021. Esta unidade sem DRAM é o primeiro SSD PCIe Gen4 na traço WD Blue. Porquê uma unidade convencional, o WD Blue SN580 destina-se a sistemas de consumo que exigem inicializações rápidas de aplicativos em cenários multitarefa, juntamente com subida capacidade de resposta. A WD também otimizou o firmware para carregamento rápido de ativos de mídia de grande porte (uma homenagem aos criadores de teor). Mais importante ainda, a natureza sem DRAM e uma meta de desempenho não exagerada (até 4150 MBps, que é o limite subordinado para uma unidade Gen4) significa que a eficiência de vigor do WD Blue SN580 o torna um bom candidato para sistemas operados por bateria . O SN570 foi lançado em três capacidades - 250 GB, 500 GB e 1 TB, com um protótipo de 2 TB introduzido posteriormente. A família SN580 está sendo lançada hoje em quatro capacidades, variando de 250 GB a 2 TB. Todas as unidades são de um lado, vêm com uma garantia de 5 anos e carregam uma classificação DWPD de 0,25. As principais melhorias de desempenho em relação ao SN570 são o aumento nas velocidades sequenciais de leitura/gravação de 3.500 MBps para 4.150 MBps e IOPS de gravação aleatória de 600K para 750K nos pontos de maior capacidade. A mudança para um novo controlador Gen4 é o único motivo, já que o SN580 continua a usar o mesmo BiCS 5 112L 3D TLC que o SN570. Essas unidades serão equipadas com 3D TLC durante toda a sua vida útil e não passarão para QLC (que agora foi consignado aos SSDs WD Green NVMe de maior capacidade). Especificações do SSD Western Do dedo SN580 Capacidade 250 GB 500 GB 1 TB 2 TB Controlador SanDisk 20-82-10082 Flash NAND Western Do dedo / Kioxia BiCS 5 112L 3D TLC NAND Fator de Forma, Interface Face única M.2-2280, PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Leitura sequencial 4000 MB/s 4150 MB/s Gravação sequencial 2000 MB/s 3600 MB/s 4150 MB/s IOPS de leitura aleatória 240K 450K 600K IOPS de gravação aleatória 470K 750K Cache SLC Sim Criptografia TCG Opal Não garantia 5 anos Grafar Resistência 150 TBW0,25 DWPD 300 TBW0,25 DWPD 600 TBW0,25 DWPD 900 TBW0,25 DWPD MSRP US$ 28 (12¢/GB) US$ 32 (6,4¢/GB) $ 50 (5¢/GB) US$ 110 (5,5 ¢/GB) A combinação do controlador interno e NAND não é novidade. O mesmo controlador de quatro canais sem DRAM foi visto nos recentes SSDs WD_BLACK SN770 com o mesmo flash BiCS 5 3D TLC. A principal diferença parece ser as otimizações de firmware com foco nas cargas de trabalho normais do consumidor e no consumo de vigor, em vez do desempenho dos jogadores. A WD está reivindicando uma potência de suspensão de 3,3 mW e uma potência ativa média de 65 mW (na pouquidade de tráfico). A empresa também afirma que seu esquema de cache SLC (chamado de nCache 4.0) oferece desempenho de rajada significativamente superior enquanto consome menos vigor em verificação com o SN570. O preço do flash é bastante plebeu, com o setor de memória sendo pego em uma de suas recessões atualmente. Isso se traduziu em excelentes preços de lançamento para SSDs, uma vez que o WD Blue SN580 - a partir de exclusivamente 5,5 c por GB para SKUs de 1 TB e 2 TB.

How Caliptra OCP Bolsters Data Center Chip Security

Caliptra security

At Google, create technology and software that is scalable, secure, and sustainable in order to power services for billions of users. To provide these experiences, they have made open innovation a fundamental principle. CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, NICs, SSDs, and more will work together in an AI-driven future. These chips’ firmware must be transparent and trusted to enable secure solutions at scale.

Greetings from Caliptra 1.0

In order to improve chip security, Google collaborated with AMD, Microsoft, and NVIDIA to create the Caliptra standard at the Open Compute Project (OCP). Caliptra is a hardware root-of-trust (RoT) that helps guarantee that only approved and reliable firmware is permitted to execute production workloads by offering verifiable cryptographic assurances.

Caliptra will eventually cover all chips, with an initial focus on hardware implementations used in secret computing. The team went above and beyond a defined specification to produce an open-source implementation at the CHIPS Alliance in response to the increasingly sophisticated nature of cyberattacks. The end product is an intellectual property (IP) block at the silicon level that can be included into CPUs, GPUs, and SSDs in the future. The block’s firmware and ROM are likewise covered by the Caliptra source code.

Google cloud is happy to announce the completion of the Caliptra definition and the reaching of the revision 1.0 milestone for the open-source hardware and software implementation. With the addition of 9elements, AMI, Antmicro, ASPEED, Axiado, Lubis EDA, ScaleFlux, Marvell, and Nuvoton, the Caliptra community is still expanding and currently consists of organisations with substantial domain experience in SoC design automation, firmware, and verification.

Companies around the ecosystem are currently integrating the Caliptra IP block onto chips that will begin to be sold in 2026. We have gone from the beginning of the project to a complete specification and an open-source implementation of the hardware and software in less than two years.

The group has already begun work on Caliptra 2.0’s next version, which will address quantum cryptography in order to adhere to NIST’s guidelines for stateful hash-based signature schemes and module-lattice-based digital signatures. Visit caliptra.io to view the open source repositories and download the Caliptra 1.0 standard.

Caliptra OCP

OCP Safe and Effective Environment

Additionally, OCP, Microsoft, and Google are working together to improve security assessments through the OCP Security Appraisal Framework for Enablement (OCP S.A.F.E.). Customers of equipment like SSDs can be assured of security conformity with this programme. In order to protect the intellectual property of device vendors, the programme has certified a list of authorised OCP Security Review Providers (SRPs) who perform security conformance reviews to guarantee the provenance, code quality, and software supply chain for firmware releases and patches for devices. Information about OCP’s S.A.F.E. programme.

The S.A.F.E. Programme (OCP Security Appraisal Framework and Enablement)

A vast array of processing (CPU, GPU, FPGA, etc.) and peripheral (network controllers, accelerators, storage devices, etc.) components make up modern data centres. Typically, these devices are powered by firmware, microcode, or updateable software that can be found either outside or inside.

Strong security assurance is needed for the software supply chain, provenance, and code quality of firmware releases and updates that are installed on these devices.

Objectives: The OCP S.A.F.E. Recognition Programme aims to tackle the difficulties that device manufacturers, consumers, and outside security assessment companies are currently facing, such as:

Cut down on overhead and duplicate security audits.

Give customers of devices an assurance of security conformity.

Reduce rival arguments that impede the sharing of source code for thorough, impartial security testing and the publication of results and reports.

Expand the number of devices that have their firmware and related updates continuously examined.

Refine review areas, testing scopes, and reporting criteria iteratively to gradually improve hardware and firmware component security posture throughout the supply chain.

How to Take Part

To explore submitting an SRP application, get in touch with the OCP Community S.A.F.E. Project Leads.

Step Two

Security Project Leads and the OCP Foundation will examine the SRP Criteria Assessment.

Sign the appropriate contracts and make the necessary payments.

The SRP will be known as an OCP S.A.F.E. SRP if it is authorised.

Step Three

The OCP Membership and Solution Provider (SP) Directories will list SRP.

Range

The following will be the Security Project’s main priorities

Standardised hardware interface and protocols to guarantee the integrity of the boot code

For specialised security hardware, open-source firmware

Security firmware protocols and APIs

Ownership transfer of the IT equipment (e.g., resale)

Techniques for delivering firmware security

Firmware and operating system secure boot

Recuperation from a weakened or distrusted state

Ensuring the safety and accuracy of any changeable storage, such as flash for microcontrollers, BMCs, BIOS, CPLDs, etc.

Safe changes to changeable storage with flexible options for rollback protection

What is about to happen

Caliptra has already established itself as a superior specification and implementation that tackles a challenging issue related to security. Additionally, they building on it with the launch of OCP Layered Open-source Cryptographic Key-management (OCP L.O.C.K.), a new endeavour. A standard for NVM Express (NVMe) key management blocks is defined and implemented by OCP L.O.C.K., which was founded by Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Solidigm, and KIOXIA. This standard protects customer data even in the event that a physical drive is taken from a data centre.

Joining forces with industry experts to produce technologies that will increase the trustworthiness and security of society’s infrastructure is exciting. Open source is used as a means to help hardware, firmware, and software meet the standards’ goals in an open, auditable, and transparent manner. Caliptra, OCP S.A.F.E., and OCP L.O.C.K. are among the topics covered in further detail during this week’s OCP Regional Summit in Lisbon, Portugal. they excited to talk about these technologies and work together to create the future.
