(irl shit)

this place I interned at one time, elevator repair and r&d, led by two EE guys and several technicians/repairs people who probably knew way more about engineering than both the EEngineers and myself combined (definitely more than me!), had this strange issue where, basically, the elevator software wasn't properly being installed into the elevator (the bootloader was throwing an error) when the computer running the bootloader also had an internet browser running and this internet browser was streaming music.

yeah seriously.

so digging around I found that when the browser was running the bootloader would fail to map the first byte to the correct address, but fixing that was beyond me, I had only the vaguest understanding of how shit worked, so my suggestion was "just turn the music off for a second man". obviously they didn't like that, they were like "yeah we figured that out already did you go to school for this" lmao hhgjfhg

#also i helped another intern (also EE guy) steal their source code because he asked for help and i was a #comp eng intern at an elevator company with literally nothing to do between the hours 8-6 every fucking weekday and saturday #they shouldn't have let me access those SD cards they used for flashing #and maybe invest into cybersecurity #no i didn't get anything out of it other than dopamine i guess. it was funny #i doubt he got anything out of it either because decrypted or not neither of us were familiar with the language hgjkfng #i was like well this looks like code of pascal variety but i don't know what the fuck it's for. good luck man #talkative rinka arc
