Agreed. As for the factory reset thing, knowing a little bit about some issues, you’d either have to have a complete duplicate set of incorruptible memory to re-programme the thing, and worry about bootloaders (also corruptible), or checksum it on startup and clear out anything looking wrong and start again if possible, or just declare it dead, return to manufacturer. Difficult to see how to do any of these hypothetical things.
Unless the worry is just about getting stuck in a loop due to a bug, configured into non-volatile memory with no way out. Which is quite another matter.
Or just trying to start again quickly with what’s still there, in a default configuration. Which makes sense.
Turning on BOD is the right thing to do at this point, despite resistance from some other people. It has been a controversial issue in the past, but I think the benefits are more accepted nowadays.
Yes, it should make things easier for printing in black and white.
I need to do some updates too, but I’ve been procrastinating about it because there’s not much room left to add anything. It could use some info about how to control aux LEDs, for lights which have those, but I’m not looking forward to rearranging things to make it fit.
Interested in two. if there are 2 variants of LEDs, please one each. I have already posted this in the German TLF, but the tread does not seem to live anymore.
Now that I have most of the process automated, I’m updating the list a lot more often than before. I try not to modify the list on the first page more than weekly or so though, because IIRC there was some sort of issue a while back with frequent updates to long posts.
Anyway, as far as I’m aware, the copy on my computer is completely up to date, and I sync it to comment #4 periodically.
Yes, assuming it’s coming from Shenzhen where Lumintop is located. I don’t see them shipping all the lights to a different location first, then shipping out to the world.
