this is my message history with mishmear. it is private information of mishmear and me. i am posting it here to be able to find it without access to my discord account. 1. xloem — Today at 1:47 PM i poked at modding my device but got scared and want to make sure it is running the correct files. i’m not sure how to reflash with the app if it is already up to date. 2. mishmear — Today at 2:07 PM xD 3. [2:07 PM] you should be able to do it by just plugging it in for 15 second unplug, repeat 3 times then 4th time leave it in and it should try to update to latest firmware 4. xloem — Today at 2:08 PM oh great ! 5. mishmear — Today at 2:12 PM It’s a bit buggy make sure you do at least 15 seconds each time 6. [2:12 PM] Takes a few attempts sometimes 7. xloem — Today at 2:43 PM i’d rather talk in public but the questions surprise me and i worry i have an internet censor — is the backend development closed? 8. mishmear — Today at 2:43 PM Not sure what you mean what backend dev? 9. xloem — Today at 2:44 PM i’m losing my sanity over here [image: 🙂] 10. [2:45 PM] i use a chain called arweave for storing huge logs of data, excited to try hivemapper too 11. mishmear Not sure what you mean what backend dev? xloem — Today at 2:46 PM i mean the firmware and companion app and network node software, but i’m having a personal psychological issue atm and should come back later [image: 😂] 1 12. xloem i use a chain called arweave for storing huge logs of data, excited to try hivemapper too mishmear — Today at 2:47 PM Hivemapper is insane at the moment o make about $1,000-$1,500 a week 13. mishmear It’s a bit buggy make sure you do at least 15 seconds each time xloem — Today at 2:48 PM 0_0 you could more than pay to full-res livelog your drives to arweave with that 14. [2:50 PM] i’m currently homeless, i drive cross country a lot to find support groups and therapies for my rare issues, i hope hivemapper works for me 15. mishmear — Today at 2:52 PM You will make a lot I drive 2000km a week for $1000 16. xloem — Today at 2:56 PM we’ll see. it would be great. car is in repair. start driving in a few days.

[3:01 PM] i’ll paste it you, i’m at a library transferring with qr code 23. [3:04 PM] https://dashcam-firmware.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hdc/2023-09-10_3-3-17.ra... 24. mishmear — Today at 3:46 PM That’s a super outdated firmware 25.

[4:01 PM] in the source it also passes uniqueDeviceId and platform, but it seems to work without those 29. [4:02 PM] in that you can see the later url of https://dashcam-firmware.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/hdc/2023-12-06_3-8-1.rau... 30. mishmear — Today at 4:58 PM im on 3,8,7 im part of testing team 31. xloem — Today at 5:15 PM i didn’t realize you could get unreleased firmwares this way 0_0 32. [5:16 PM] if you send me your apk (edit: or whatever updates the device) i can possibly pull its update url out of it (edited) 33. [5:16 PM] i’m learning to maybe build custom firmware 34. mishmear — Today at 5:40 PM nah im ok thanks 35. xloem — Today at 5:42 PM i tried 3.8.2 and found it on 12-07 (edited) 36.

[7:11 PM] how does it feel asking that? 66. mishmear — Today at 7:11 PM Feels like I want to know the answer 67. xloem — Today at 7:11 PM that’s the feeling for “asking” but not “that” 68.

[7:13 PM] but the real one, is the one without much pain 77. mishmear — Today at 7:13 PM <https://tenor.com/view/wtf-bro-wtf-bro-gif-wtf-gif-joe-rogan-gif-11019578474369830715> 78. xloem — Today at 7:14 PM be well and thank you for your strength 79.

[7:17 PM] [image: 🙂] please understand i am saying irrational things to you that bear similarity to things i have trouble thinking about. they may bear similarity to you too, or may not. 89. mishmear — Today at 7:18 PM They don’t have any similarity to anyone not on meth 90. xloem — Today at 7:18 PM yeah i’ve been on that meth for 10 years, a methlord didn’t like me 91. [7:20 PM] meth is so terrifying 92. [7:22 PM] anyway if i can hack the AI chip in the dashcam maybe i can give everybody a [not-hyperintelligent sorry] virtual assistant, the docs for the chip say it will run any model (edited) 93. mishmear I’m not fighting ai [image: 😂] xloem — Today at 7:27 PM sorry i misinterpreted you 94.
