@skye fwiw hardware can be very obscure too once you get there, there's So Much there, maybe even more than software

i do get the appeal of wanting to run down artificial constraints, i've done it a few times, even successfully a few times finding a bug pretty deep in. i have also spent many many hours reading absurdly long datasheets searching for a bit of information that i don't quite understand and that's not really fun either

i'm glad you're enjoying it tho :3 i suppose what i'm trying to say is finding out the answer is "it is possible, but requires a lot of resources and spoons and cooperation" makes everything seem more flat
