Harddrive firmware upgrade utilities were very impressive to me. Having seen the SSD counterpart I'd have to say that it is far more impressive and to be expected. Hardware builders can't write good firmware and a good toolkit is needed to make a drive functional again.

The SSD utility has the same simple elegance as the HDD utility. The complexity, security, capability and languages used are astonishing in the SSD utility. I have yet to get to the actual firmware but this is beautiful. It seems that large portions were actually written in ASM. It's not as cool as the time I got to mess with missile guidance code. With how well this is written, I would recommend that anyone with an S11 based SSD (A large portion of the market) upgrade to the latest firmware with the official tools provided. I'll push forward but these people have just shown me that they can build good hardware and software.

Why pay taxes or buy a business license if the government closes roads and closes businesses?

i finally got around to installing #towboot on my #pinephone with the GUI installer, and it works great out of the box! no hassles or anything. a nice uniform boot experience with great features and (so far) stability. i probably won't make a blog post about it because i don't know much about it's development. thanks to the tow-boot team for making this possible!
