Progress! At least it now sees a chipset it recognizes and can complain about! I am one fw_update away from victory.

@h3artbl33d Yeah. As a bonus hassle I kept ordering the wrong card! Fortunately they are cheap on eBay, but I now have 2 x BCM94630CS2 and 1 BCM94630CS … Because I needed the BCM946302CS 🤪 Gonna make a FORTUNE on eBay I tell you!

@h3artbl33d Yeah. Mind it would make sense to make a breakout board or a shim. It’s PCI but funky PCI, is my understanding?

@h3artbl33d I think these boards are standard in these generations of Macbooks (A1465), but the connector is proprietary. I think it wouldn't be impossible to create an adapter that would allow you to pliug in different, standard PCIE boards. Like, use an Atheros chipset board, or an Intel one. Ipads and iPhones are a different matter tho - I took an iPad apart the other day, hoping to re-use the wireless card in it, but that was a whole other breed. I think it even had FM radio?!

When they said that AI was going to try to exterminate us, I didn't expect it to be via bad nutritional advice...

Today's story: Why Your Wi-Fi Router Doubles as an Apple AirTag

Apple and the satellite-based broadband service Starlink each recently took steps to address new research into the potential security and privacy implications of how their services geo-locate devices. Researchers from the University of Maryland say they relied on publicly available data from Apple to track the location of billions of devices globally -- including non-Apple devices like Starlink systems -- and found they could use this data to monitor the destruction of Gaza, as well as the movements and in many cases identities of Russian and Ukrainian troops.

@bontchev That makes sense. Still surprised to discover they have not just captured them but purchased them - even if through intermediaries. I know I shouldn’t be. @briankrebs
