Re: Audio DAC HATs on Raspbian Buster

have you got your IQaudio DAC work properly in Raspbian Buster? Yes - absolutely no problem getting it working for me - just inserted the relevant dtoverlay line in config.txt as with previous models of Pi. (I'm using a slightly older version of the Pi-DAC+ with a blank EEPROM - newer versions use ...

Re: VLI firmware v2.0 - powersaving features enabled

I'm seeing the SoC idle 1 or 2 degrees C lower with the v2 USB controller firmware versus the original release version. Everything else looks normal so far.

Re: Pi 4B beta firmware 2019-09-06

Think I'm getting mixed up with the VLI chip's firmware update which I seem to remember reading can lower the SoC temperature slightly. Beta main EEPROM firmware is installed now and I can't detect any difference in the SoC temperature. I will try the v2 VLI update next.

That's true, but booting the device opens up a whole different can of worms, since absolutely everything is coming over the wifi.

Re: Raspberry Pi 3B+ - won't boot with keyboard and mouse attached

If the Apple keyboard is presenting sometimes as a USB mass storage device that would be enough to confuse the boot ROM in the Pi. I suspect either the boot ROM was getting stuck somewhere, or because of a subtle change in timing, your USB drive was not making itself ready in time for the Pi to read...

Re: Network boot over WiFi

With a wired connection you need physical access to the network to get in. With wifi you just need to sniff some packets and crack the password. Which is not specific to booting. If you're using WiFi you've already accepted this risk. Thus booting over WiFi is no more of a risk than doing anything ...

Why is it so difficult to do it on arm? From what I can gather, because ARM is targeted at the embedded market, anything that is not needed is left out of the processor core.

Perhaps a compromise might be to include an obvious break location on the PCB with a couple of exposed pads either side, where someone could cut the track, then if they wanted to re-enable flashing place a link across the pads. Adding actual jumpers would add additional cost. If there was a way to a...

Even high-end motherboards for Intel compatible processors don't have a jumper to disable reflashing the BIOS.

Agreed - adding a jumper is probably not necessary. Also, if Raspberry Pi thought it was necessary they would have added it to the board already.
