@noahm "I bricked my derailleur" "Oh noo! How'd it happen? Like, you hit it on a brick wall and broke it?" "No, I hit a firmware bug that resulted in an incomplete flash, and now it bootloops" "..."

@noahm is there any other reason to have a firmware than to replace a cable?

@noahm My Hammerhead Karoo bike computer recently got a firmware update so it can alter the dampening mechanics of a paired smart fork while riding. I had trouble exiting the mandatory tour of how to remotely control the >$1,000 smart fork that I don’t own. #bicycle
