wrote a post about nicolium v1.0.0 release and i'm not satisfied with it but also i'm lazy and eepy rn https://nicolium.app/blog/nicolium-1-0-0/

Some years ago, I needed to get an visa for urgent travel to China, a process that required me to fly down to SF and stand in a very long line at the Chinese consulate. When I finally handed the woman there my forms, she promptly stamped them and said "you need to take these to Window 2", pointing around the corner. So I walked around the corner...

...where *the same woman* swiveled her chair around and proceeded to check the stamp that she had just applied.

I would have been annoyed if I wasn't in so much awe at discovering the purest form of bureaucracy.

nice unpatchable A12/A13 secure boot bypass you got there ​

for anyone else who had to search it up:
A12 is iPhone XS, XR, iPad mini 5th gen, air 3rd gen, and base 8th gen
A13 is iPhone 11 series, SE 2nd gen, and iPad 9th gen

Under no circumstances, do not touch the metal part of the soldering iron to avoid burns.

… so, I should touch it?

Doing a little email experiment, hopefully a fun one! If you send an email to previous@email.engineering, two things should happen:

1. You’ll receive a reply with the email that the previous person sent (the last email before yours).

2. The next person to send an email will receive the message that you sent.

Your identity isn’t shared (only the subject and body). Hopefully nobody will be a jerk and ruin this (the reply footer has instructions for reporting abuse).

Anyway, have fun!
