I love reading about these types of firmware "bugs" fixed by AI in a few minutes with the correct context. I recently patched my LG monitor that had a blinking white LED in standby. Why any designer thinks why yes lets blink this 1 second on 2 seconds off when I go to sleep is deranged.
Well now I can sleep easily because of the same style of patch. I also hit the version refusal but found that you just lie to the upgrade tooling that it's newer and then the version number doesn't change after flashing.

good for right to repair but man is this not a major vulnerability? we need to start going after tech companies not employing best practices like mutation testing esp with how easy those tests are to write now
This is a golden age of finally being able to fix all the niggling little bugs in these bits of hardware. So many of them are wide open, the friction of trying to figure out how to get the firmware cracked open, creating a build environment etc was just too huge before. I wonder how long before all these manufacturers start signing and encrypting their updates to stop us fixing their shit?
