Blu-ray DRM is really devilish. I use a program called makemkv to rip them, because there is no other way to play them on my laptop, and there are no legit linux options for blu-ray playback, you have to crack the drm to play them. The easiest solution is makemkv to rip the movies into files, it works out of the box.

But if the level of drm (aacs) on a particular blu-ray is higher than what Makemkv can handle, the disk will update the firmware on your drive to revoke access to makemkv, so it can't access any blu-rays.

"One famous “feature” of AACS is a so-called host revocation. It was designed to ensure that only “approved” software can use your drive. Every Blu-ray disc contains a file that has a list of host keys known to be used by "unauthorized" software. This list has a version number. The moment you insert the disc into your drive, the drive checks if the list is newer than the one it knows about, and if it is, the drive re-flashes itself (updates firmware)."

And that happened to me. It was a blu-ray of the 1972 Hammer horror movie Fear in the Night that did it. The one program that works with my blu-ray player now couldn't access any discs, including ones it had ripped before. And there are absolutely zero linux programs that are authorized to playback blu-ray discs.

I had to flash my drive's firmware to allow something called libredrive, which allows direct access to files and bypasses the aacs drm firmware.

And that was quite the journey. I had makemkv installed as a flatpak via my distro's software manager. and I needed to use the command line. Flatpaks are a great packaging format. but they are primarily for gui apps. So i had to build makemkv from source. And then I had to figure out the commandline for the firmware flashing tool included with makemkv, which was hard because the instructions linked flat out lie. There is no "flash" command for sdftools, there is only "rawflash", you have to read the thread carefully to find that out. This page helped. I had to download new patched libredrive firmware.

And finally i figured out the command I needed ""sdftool -d [drive name] rawflash main,enc -i [new firmware file name].bin. And now I can use my blu-ray drive again. It's now libredrive.

So much work to finally be able to use the drive I paid for, and the blu-ray discs I also paid for. I'm not running some major piracy operation, I just want to be able to watch movies I legally own on my laptop. And drm stopped me, and I had to break it.

This is why DRM is so bad, and anyone who uses it deserves all the piracy they are trying to stop with it. It's scummy to take someone's money and then interfere with their ability to use the copy of the products they own and paid for. It's such atrocious treatment of the customer that anyone who does it deserves to have their stuff pirated.

[wolfliving]

It starts with him

What was once a promise of technology to allow us to automate and analyze the environments in our physical spaces is now a heap of broken ideas and broken products. Technology products have been deployed en masse, our personal data collected and sold without our consent, and then abandoned as soon as companies strip mined all the profit they thought they could wring out. And why not? They already have our money.

The Philips Hue, poster child of the smart home, used to work entirely on your local network. After all, do you really need to connect to the Internet to control the lights in your own house?  Well you do now!Philips has announced it will require cloud accounts for all users—including users who had already purchased the hardware thinking they wouldn’t need an account (and the inevitable security breaches that come with it) to use their lights.

Will you really trust any promises from a company that unilaterally forces a change like this on you? Does the user actually benefit from any of this?

Matter in its current version … doesn’t really help resolve the key issue of the smart home, namely that most companies view smart homes as a way to sell more individual devices and generate recurring revenue.

It keeps happening. Stuff you bought isn’t yours because the company you bought it from can take away features and force you to do things you don’t want or need to do—ultimately because they want to make more money off of you. It’s frustrating, it’s exhausting, and it’s discouraging.

And it has stopped IoT for the rest of us in its tracks. Industrial IoT is doing great—data collection is the point for the customer. But the consumer electronics business model does not mesh with the expected lifespan of home products, and so enshittification began as soon as those first warranties ran out.

How can we reset the expectations we have of connected devices, so that they are again worthy of our trust and money? Before we can bring the promise back, we must deweaponize the technology.

Guidelines for the hardware producer

What we can do as engineers and business owners is make sure the stuff we’re building can’t be wielded as a lever against our own customers, and to show consumers how things could be. These are things we want consumers to expect and demand of manufacturers.

Control

Think local

Decouple

Open interfaces

Be a good citizen

1) Control over firmware updates.

You scream, “What about security updates!” But a company taking away a feature you use or requiring personal data for no reason is arguably a security flaw. 

We were once outraged when intangible software products went from something that remained unchanging on your computer, to a cloud service, with all the ephemerality that term promises. Now they’re coming for our tangible possessions.

No one should be able to do this with hardware that you own. Breaking functionality is entirely what security updates are supposed to prevent! A better checklist for firmware updates:

Allow users to control when and what updates they want to apply. 

Be thorough and clear as to what the update does and provide the ability to downgrade if needed. 

Separate security updates from feature additions or changes. 

Never force an update unless you are sure you want to accept (financial) responsibility for whatever you inadvertently break. 

Consider that you are sending software updates to other people’s hardware. Ask them for permission (which includes respecting “no”) before touching their stuff!

2) Do less on the Internet.

A large part of the security issues with IoT products stem from the Internet connectivity itself. Any server in the cloud has an attack surface, and now that means your physical devices do.

The solution here is “do less”. All functionality should be local-only unless it has a really good reason to use the Internet. Remotely controlling your lights while in your own house does not require the cloud and certainly does not require an account with your personal information attached to it. Limit the use of the cloud to only the functions that cannot work without it.

As a bonus, less networked functionality means fewer maintenance costs for you.

3) Decouple products and services.

It’s fine to need a cloud service. But making a product that requires a specific cloud service is a guarantee that it can be enshittified at any point later on, with no alternative for the user owner. 

Design products to be able to interact with other servers. You have sold someone hardware and now they own it, not you. They have a right to keep using it even if you shut down or break your servers. Allow them the ability to point their devices to another service. If you want them to use your service, make it worthwhile enough for them to choose you.

Finally, if your product has a heavy reliance on the cloud to work, consider enabling your users to self-host their own cloud tooling if they so desire. A lot of people are perfectly capable of doing this on their own and can help others do the same.

4) Use open and standard protocols and interfaces.

Most networked devices have no reason to use proprietary protocols, interfaces, and data formats. There are open standards with communities and software available for almost anything you could want to do. Re-inventing the wheel just wastes resources and makes it harder for users to keep using their stuff after you’re long gone. We did this with Twine, creating an encrypted protocol that minimized chatter, because we needed to squeeze battery life out of WiFi back when there weren’t good options.

If you do have a need for a proprietary protocol (and there are valid reasons to do so):

Document it. 

If possible, have a fallback option that uses an open standard. 

Provide tooling and software to interact with your custom protocols, at the very least enough for open source developers to be able to work with it. This goes for physical interfaces as much as it does for cloud protocols.

If the interface requires a custom-made, expensive, and/or hard-to-find tool to use, then consider using something else that is commonly available and off the shelf instead.

5) Be a good citizen.

Breaking paid-for functionality on other people’s stuff is inherently unethical. Consider not doing this! Enshittification is not a technical problem, it is a behavioral one. Offer better products that are designed to resist enshittification, and resist it yourself in everything you do.

Nothing forced Philips to do what they are doing: a human made a decision to do it. They could have just as easily chosen not to. With Twine’s server lock-in, at least we chose to keep it running, for 12 years now. Consider that you can still make a decent living by being honest and ethical towards the people who are, by purchasing your products, paying for your lifestyle. 

We didn’t get here by accident. Humans made choices that brought us to this point, and we can’t blame anyone for being turned off by it. But we can choose to do better. We can design better stuff. And we can choose not to mess things up after the fact.

We’re putting this into practice with Pickup. (We also think that part of an IoT reset is giving users the creative freedom of a general-purpose device.) If you’re looking for something better and our product can fill a need you have, consider backing us. We cannot claim to be perfect or have all of the answers, but we are absolutely going to try. The status quo sucks. Let’s do something about it.

guide: acnl in japanese on us 3ds

Making the jump to comprehensible input is always a struggle, but you know what makes it better? Cute animals. I decided to boot up my 3ds and play animal crossing new leaf in Japanese for some immersion. Unfortunately, 3ds games are region locked. US games don't have the option to play in Japanese, and JP games don't have the option to run on US region devices. There is a solution, but it requires a bit of effort.

Materials:

US region 3ds

SD card and SD card reader (for transferring files from computer to 3ds)

1: Get custom firmware (CFW)

In order to get around the region lock on games, you need to download CFW on your 3ds using this guide. CFW will, among other things, allow you to bypass the region lock to play JP games on a US 3ds.

2: Get Luma Locale Switcher

It isn't enough to just have CFW, we also need to download a special feature to switch the the region and language into JP. Instructions for that are here.

3: Get a Japanese copy of ACNL

We will be taking a Japanese game, bypassing the region lock, and using a locale switcher to provide JP region data to a US 3ds. Therefore, we need a Japanese game. This can come from a cartridge or from downloading a CIA file.

4: Enable game patching

If you miss this step, the game will crash and be unplayable. Turn off you device, press select, and while holding select power on the device. Scroll and select "Enable game patching". Press select to save and continue.

5: Set the language and region to JP

Open the luma app and follow the instructions to set the language and region to JP. ACNL will work with updated basic locale settings.

6: Play ACNL in Japanese

Open the game, it should now be displaying in Japanese. If there is an error screen, it's likely that game patching isn't enabled or the locale hasn't been set correctly in Luma.

Hope this helps, happy studying!

Custom firmware empowers businesses with the flexibility to adapt chips for diverse environments and industry-specific challenges. From enhancing security in IoT devices to optimizing processing in industrial automation, custom firmware ensures that every feature is purpose-built and highly efficient. This tailored approach reduces latency, improves integration with other systems, and provides a scalable platform for future updates—all while minimizing hardware limitations.

Driving Better Health Outcomes with IT Expertise Technology is not only transforming machines and microchips; it’s also reshaping human lives. In the medical world, digital solutions are bridging the gap between patients and providers, streamlining operations, and improving treatment outcomes. Healthcare IT Consulting Services play an instrumental role in this transformation, offering strategic guidance and technology integration for hospitals, clinics, and research facilities.

These consulting services cover everything from electronic health record (EHR) systems to telemedicine platforms and data analytics for patient care. By leveraging expert insights, healthcare organizations can modernize their infrastructure, ensure data compliance, and implement patient-centric solutions. IT consulting in healthcare isn't just about upgrading systems—it’s about enabling better decision-making, increasing operational efficiency, and ultimately saving lives through smarter technology.

The Synergy Between Embedded Solutions and IT Consulting Though they serve different domains, embedded systems and IT consulting are increasingly interconnected. The performance of embedded chips influences data handling, analytics, and cloud connectivity—areas where IT consulting provides valuable expertise. Conversely, insights gained from IT infrastructure planning can inform how embedded solutions are designed and deployed.

For instance, in smart hospitals or connected vehicles, the integration of embedded systems with larger IT frameworks enables seamless data flow, automation, and control. As a result, industries are not choosing between embedded and IT solutions—they’re combining them to build ecosystems that are more responsive, intelligent, and adaptable than ever before.

Conclusion: Shaping the Future with Intelligent Solutions Innovation is no longer confined to the research lab; it’s happening in cars, on chips, and within hospitals every day. Through the powerful integration of Automotive Embedded Solutions, Semiconductor Embedded Solutions, Custom Firmware Development for Chips, and Healthcare IT Consulting Services, the future is not just digital—it’s deeply embedded, responsive, and human-centric.

These technologies are setting the stage for a smarter tomorrow by creating highly specialized, reliable, and efficient systems across multiple industries. As businesses continue to adopt these intelligent solutions, the line between hardware and software, service and system, will continue to blur—paving the way for a more connected, innovative, and impactful world.

10 Common VoIP SBC Integration Hurdles (and How to Smoothly Overcome Them)

Bringing a Session Border Controller (SBC) into your VoIP setup is essential for secure, high-quality communications. But let’s face it — it’s not always plug and play. Businesses often hit a few snags along the way. In this blog, we’ll break down the most common roadblocks you might encounter during SBC integration and offer practical ways to overcome them without getting lost in the technical weeds.

1. Compatibility Confusion Between Systems

Problem: Not all VoIP environments speak the same language. Different platforms and protocols can clash.

Fix: Choose an SBC that supports multiple codecs and signaling protocols (like SIP, RTP, etc.). It’s also wise to run end-to-end tests with your current systems before going live.

2. Security Gaps That Leave You Exposed

Problem: VoIP systems are often targeted by cyber threats, from call hijacking to DDoS attacks.

Fix: Look for SBCs with built-in security layers — like SIP authentication, call encryption, and intrusion prevention. Update firmware regularly and follow security best practices.

3. Voice Quality That Doesn’t Cut It

Problem: Poor call quality caused by jitter, lag, or dropped calls can ruin the user experience.

Fix: Prioritize voice traffic with QoS (Quality of Service) settings. Monitor network performance and tweak as needed to keep audio crisp and calls reliable.

4. Trouble Scaling With Company Growth

Problem: Your SBC setup may handle current traffic, but what happens when your team doubles in size?

Fix: Opt for a scalable SBC solution — ideally one that lets you upgrade licenses or bandwidth easily. Plan for growth so you don’t outgrow your system too soon.

5. Complicated Configurations

Problem: Setting up an SBC can be tricky, especially if you’re not familiar with the interface or command-line tools.

Fix: Use vendor-supplied templates and auto-configuration tools when available. It’s also worth investing in basic SBC training for your tech team.

6. Regulatory Compliance Pressure

Problem: Different industries and countries have specific compliance requirements (like HIPAA or GDPR).

Fix: Work with SBCs that offer built-in compliance features or are certified for your industry. Stay informed about local laws and schedule regular compliance reviews.

7. Bridging the Gap With Old Systems

Problem: Legacy PBX systems might not play nicely with modern SBCs.

Fix: Choose an SBC that can support older protocols or work with adapters that help old systems “talk” to newer setups. In some cases, a phased upgrade may be the best path forward.

8. Integration Costs Stack Up

Problem: Between licensing, setup, and ongoing support, costs can sneak up on you.

Fix: Weigh your options — sometimes a cloud SBC or open-source alternative can reduce upfront costs. Always look at the total cost of ownership, not just the sticker price.

9. No Visibility Into What’s Going Wrong

Problem: Without proper monitoring, it’s hard to know where issues are happening — or why.

Fix: Use monitoring dashboards that give you real-time performance stats. Set alerts for traffic spikes, call failures, or security threats so you can act fast.

10. Teams Struggling With Change

Problem: End-users and even IT staff might resist or misuse the new setup.

Fix: Offer clear onboarding materials, how-to guides, and hands-on training. The more confident your team feels, the smoother the transition will be.

Final Thoughts

Integrating SBCs into a VoIP environment isn’t always straightforward, but it doesn’t have to be a headache. By preparing for these common challenges, you can set your system up for success from day one.

Need help customizing or deploying SBC solutions? Hiring a skilled VoIP developer can save you time, stress, and ensure you get it right the first time.
