"yes but it is mainly read only and it does reads really fast while writes and erases are slow bluh bluh" ok idiot. there's a term for it. it's called NVRAM. oh? you're saying it's not RAM because it retains data? YES THAT'S WHAT Non Volatile MEANS. YOUR SSD IS THE SAME THING AS YOUR RAM

次世代NVRAMの話題は目にするが、光学メディアや磁気ドライブの話題を見なくなって久しい

could be missing from the efi nvram? idk i've never seen this happen. taking out the cmos battery to reset the bios might help

If the PEB (MCU, DC-DC, OBC) on my Kangoo goes boom for some reason, I have to hope it doesn't take a specific NVRAM chip with it, because you have to swap that to a spare PEB or it'll immobilize the car.

and if I have to go to a dealer, it's cheaper to gut the car and rebuild the whole drivetrain

oh wait, I'm stupid

I just needed to update the boot entries saved in NVRAM lol

My case was escalated with Apple Support, and there was absolutely nothing server-side on their end that indicated the wipe. (MDM was also ruled out)

Regarding backups and data, I'm fine as all of my work is on git and my homelabs, only the *how* of what happened […]

PS2 MechaCon firmware dumping has reached V2 and V3 SPC970 revisions, while V1 remains unsupported.

It is a useful reverse-engineering breakthrough — not a new disc bypass — and the current method also raises NVRAM/EEPROM wear concerns

PS2 MechaCon Dump Reaches V2 and V3, V1 Still Out of Reach
PS2 MechaCon firmware dumping now covers V2 and V3 SPC970 controllers, while V1 remains unsupported and the current method is still harsh on hardware.

Bargin-bin PSU, Motherboard, and SSD/HDD are a bit of a risk.

I would try an NVRam Reset, test it on a live USB, maybe run memtest and CPU tests from USB drives and see if anything comes up.

If there is something going bad, you can test and find it.

A fun fact about the Ernest payphones is they don't use a rechargeable battery for programming like Elcotel or Protel; they use a pair of Dallas NVRAM chips.

why aren't we trying to integrate memristors into transistor gate/base biasing networks?
like, these things are amazing. there's got to be more we can do with them than just NVRAM and biotech stuff

omg thx! hadn't even started looking into it cause was doing other stuff but now i know. i have old android phones with ir blasters and a logitech harmony remote somewhere so i'm set. the nvram thing will be last resort. was already inside of this set cause it was dirty and dusty as hell.

both the reset key function (clear all settings) and channel/input display function rely on the remote control; if it's stuck on all the time someone set it that way with theirs

if you're not too scared of the insides of a CRT you could try clearing its nvram, just be careful

nvram, so it won't be possible to create a GRUB EFI menu entry, but it can
be set up as a removable device, or GRUB could be started from the UEFI
shell. On a 64-bit machine, it's easier to also have a 64-bit installation
and then just use that to boot the 32-bit

BIOS settings not surviving power loss on an X9SCM-F is almost always the CR2032 — even 2.7V is enough to corrupt NVRAM writes while POST passes. Swap the coin cell before suspecting the board; BMC-side, an ipmitool mc reset cold helps too.

Setting up the new Lenovo machine as my old Linux box went smoothly. I put the NVMe disk from the old machine in, booted from an install USB, installed the UEFI boot entry in its NVRAM, and it booted into grub and decrypted the disk as before. And then got stuck on not finding the (somewhat […]

ONTAP Architecture Insight: WAFL Consistency Points (CP) flush NVRAM logs to disk trees without freezing incoming I/O. Because WAFL writes to newly allocated free blocks rather than overwriting in-place, snapshots are instant, zero-cost pointer trees. https://netapp-blackbox.pages.dev

Windows Updateとfwupdmgrとでセキュアブートの証明書の鍵ファイルの書き込みに違いはあるか?聞いたら、WindowsはOSポリシーマネージャー→再起動→UEFIカプセル処理だけど、LinuxだとNVRAMに直接書き込みだから速さが違うとのこと。

As far as I know there's no cheat code. Is this for a real arcade board or for emulation? because if it's for emulation a NVRAM file can be used. I can find one if that's the case (and upload it on my database, it could be useful for things like this in the future)
