No, turn down the volume is a reasonable idea, because you can't control if the sound engineer is using a ton of compression to ramp up apparent volume.
Already had one set of laptop speakers blown by it.
"No there is not always a way of writing to a ROM purely via software on the machine it is installed in. "
You're an idiot. Man can make it, man can break it, tweak it, or modify it. This is why I do this shit globally for large companies and you're stuck in a single country.
" I explicitly mentioned that if your ROM isn't actually RO"
NO ROM is RO, excepting burn-once optical discs. Unless you laser-lock the pins after programming, there's always a method for programming the silicon.
"you can in fact read but are just choosing to misinterpret in order to pleasure yourself."
No, you just don't understand what you're talking about. 25+ years of doing this, here.
I can tell you don't hold an A+ repair certification, let alone failed high school critical thinking and reading comprehension. Here, let me repeat myself.
"Computers that have the OS on ROM unsurprisingly aren't susceptible to making the system unbootable by screwing with boot files."
EVERY COMPUTER HAS AN OS IN ROM. That's how you can load any other OS onto it in the first fucking place. You brick the BIOS by failing an update. Bad BIOS, system WILL NOT FUCKING BOOT AT ALL (excepting systems with dual BIOS chips for redundancy.)
Ford's shitty Mustang has so little power it needs electronic help with doing a burnout? That's pretty sad considering real men only need a good manual transmission to do real burnouts, and I was doing burnouts in an 87 Tercel hatchback equipped with a shitty 4 cylinder engine, and killing the tires or rims every time. Once I killed the pressure pate, that was fun to replace.
Yea, the fault of the car at 40-45MPH? Go look at that car's structural damage again (ignoring fire burned parts.) That's not the result of a 45MPH collision with a street pole. That car is FOLDED IN HALF. I've been passenger to an idiot in an RX-8, lost control at 55MPH and my door slammed into a palm tree. That pushed the door in about a foot and a half.
This car was obviously doing faster than the posted speed limit.
The beginnings of ESC were made in 1987. Came out in 1995. Standard equipment in all Cadillac models INCLUDING SPORTS CAR as of 2007, which would imply that in 2005 ESC was very fucking well understood and not new, and made total sense on a sports car.
If you look at pictures taken of the accident scene, you can clearly see the telltale fresh signs of cutting donuts and drag racing in nearby parking lots. WITH A PORSCHE TIRE PATTERN AND SPACING.
This was not the fault of the car. This was two idiot joyriders doing idiot joyriding things.
It takes no practice to take a pic surreptitiously and covertly on a phone. Perhaps you should go out in public and look at people and maybe use your brain. If I'm looking at my smartphone, it is held vertical to avoid glare - that means my camera is pointed right at your acne-ridden face, fuckwit. People could easily act like they're asking Siri for info and yet be taking your picture.
You better take your ass out of your cave and go wander the streets like a real human, sometime. There are all sorts of people that hold their phones all sorts of weird fucking ways when they use it - you wouldn't be any fucking wiser to someone taking a picture of you, especially out in the ghetto where people tend to talk by bringing the phone to their mouth (as if they didn't know the microphone could pick up their voice just fine) and the angle at which they do it is perfect for a surreptitious picture.
" PCs have the BIOS and operating system stored on separate media, and they have a PCI bus that the operating system can scan for plug-and-play devices. Battery-powered ARM devices don't.* "
My (second) ZTE Score M500 says 'Hello, yes I do, but I don't use PCI, I just scan the USB or Bluetooth bus instead'

Notify Apple of hidden malware in an app, take iPhone to store, get re-imaged. Apple pulls the app from their store and from your iTunes.
"Whether we define a virus as something you can trivially delete is an exercise for the reader."
We have a concise definition for virus with regards to computers. Don't try to add one that makes zero sense.
"What matters is it is possible for someone to make their phone 100% inoperable by trying to reinstall the OS. This is not true of a PC at all."
I can see you've never tried installing XP on newer hardware that won't support it, let alone done any professional work in a repair capacity. If you had, you'd know your statement is rather false.

See, this is why I sit in a sound chair with analog inputs. Detect analog volume controls from input only, hah!

Ummmmm, BIOS. Every computer essentially has an OS in ROM as-is, or it wouldn't DO SHIT.
Might want to go brush up on your A+ skills, Johnnyboy.

Then you die of cancer triggered by the raised levels of acetone in your body.

Hemp paper is far easier and cleaner to do.

Dumbass, the front tires, where most of the braking force is dispersed, are 265 mm.

The 944s were fairly notorious for overheating and needing to be run with the heater on to avoid even coming close to overheating.
I had one. Too much maintenance.
WRONG. DEAD FUCKING WRONG.

My 944 had it, and that's WELL THE FUCK BEFORE 2005.
It wasn't known as ESC, it was known as PSM on a Porsche.
Have you even driven a Porsche, n00b?
The beginnings of ESC were made in 1987. Came out in 1995. Standard equipment in all Cadillac models INCLUDING SPORTS CAR as of 2007, which would imply that in 2005 ESC was very fucking well understood and not new, and made total sense on a sports car.

"That Porsche may have 600 hp, but in the hand of an excellent driver, it would be still a very safe car."
You have a poor grasp of physics, I see. *ONE* slipout and as you see, a competent professional racer killed two people.
Try again when you understand the basic laws that govern our very existence.
