i desoldered this flash a while back to map out the testpoints (https://lab.whitequark.org/notes/2018-09-17/game-boy-advance-cartridge-smc805-2/ …) and i just reballed it and soldered it back and it worked basically the first time. (i had to heat it up the second time because my flux gel is a very gnarly, very not bga ooze)pic.twitter.com/qL3EGPBAGF

until now, the only thing that prevented me from disassembling and reverse-engineering literally everything i meet was that i couldn't put anything with bgas back. now... now i am unstoppable!! INFINITE POWER HAHAHA

Yeah, Apple just finished moving their latest generation Mac storage keys to their Secure Enclave in the iMac Pro and MBP 2018. Now it doesn't matter if you extract the flash and have any recovery keys backed up. If it's not the same SEP, nobody is reading that flash.

yup, I've read about that! It's a good move but I like my FOSS Android apps a bit too much to move to iOS
