I'm growing mor eand more inclined to simply reject all this as
nonsense. I obviously can't and its why I'm seriously trying to find
ways to make this work in a sane architectural way that can scale, but
I hope you can see that this is really only bringing complexities. Can
you please, please try once more, and with all you got to push against
this internal firmware junk. Who the fuck could have decided this was
a good idea?
