  "description": "The Zerocat Chipflasher is a versatile device that is made for firmware replacement. Its operation requires some training and some knowledge about typical difficulties in in-system flash programming.\n\nThis device comes with freedom in mind, down to details. It started as a cellar-project during the time of Snowden revelations, and now reaches a point of maturity in cooperation with the GNU Boot project. Key features that make this device a reproducable tool on GNU/Linux-Libre systems, now and in future, will be explained.\n\nYou will be trained in device operation, targeting a hard-to-flash ThinkPad T60 systemboard. Successful operation should result in a successful boot of the liberated T60 laptop - but let\u2019s see!\n-- https://www.zerocat.org\n",

I just could not stand that we are all cheated,\ntricked, and manipulated -- and tried to elaborate escapes on a digital\nhardware level. Initially, this activity was meant to save my children\nand their innocent minds -- now I see that mankind has to get rescued.\n",
