DISCLAIMER: I don't know if anything I am doing is legal. Nor do I, in fact, have any sort of deep knowledge of hardware hacking. DISCLAIMER2: Although I am so dumb and lazy that I would use an LLM to automate coffee making – (oops!) and , use LLMs to write code on occasion; this text has been entirely written by a human and barely even proofread by an LLM. This disclaimer extends to all further writing on this blog.
