Yes, you just need to use a switch puller to take them out. I will say I've had a hell of a time pulling switches out of one Redragon board I tried out for a few days, and the Outemu switches they're supplied with are made cheaply to say the least, especially their housings. You can easily deform/crack the plastic on them.
I also had that issue on my Wooting Two HE, though. Starting to think it might be more of an issue for steel switch plates.

ATTENTION FOR NEWFAGS

TODAY I REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE A KEYBOARD THAT CAN BE PAIRED WITH MULTIPLE DEVICE

I CHEATED ON A CODING INTERVIEW TODAY BY PLACING MY PHONE ON A STAND IN FRONT OF MY LAPTOP AND HONESTLY IT FEELS FUCKING TRICKY TRYING TO TYPE THE QUESTION ON THAT SMALL SCREEN, GOING BACK TO THE KEYBOARD, AND DISRUPTS MY TEMPO AGAIN AND AGAIN. MY FINGERS ARE FUCKING SHAKING BUT LUCKILY CHATGPT GOT MY ASS

That being said, I'm open for suggestion.

I work as a programmer, everyone but me at the office has Android phones, and every day I have to listen to them complain about shovelware being installed on their device, upgrades breaking shit, or the camera or the charging port or the NFC chip breaking so they have to buy a new 800 dollar phone - something that has never happened to me since switching to iPhones over five years ago.

"Android is more free, more reliable and more cheap than iphone" hasn't been true close to a decade now.

I upgraded my from the 6a to the 8 pro for around the same price and I'm not entirely sure why the average normalfag would pay for a premium phone. The upgrades are nice, but I can't justify actually paying MSRP for this fucking thing. You guys probably don't need to have a $1000 phone and you'll be fine with something half of that price at most.

For that I had to create some suitable commands that I can send over the network
For that I had to map commands to players
So I had to create a player component that can manage different players
The command was turn on/turn off which meant I head to deallocate it
I had a bug in my red black tree removal method, I fixed that
I had to update my data structure test project to a new version, turns out I hat two more bugs in my red black tree
Turns out there was another bug in my memory manager using my red black tree
I had to update my memory manager test project
I had to redirect user input to the network layer

Right now i am implementing the threads for managing UDP sockets.

What was the certain undocumented kernel function on Windows that would have taken a professional programmer 2 weeks to reverse engineer to learn how to use that he mentioned in his video and why is it undocumented?
2 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>106188570
Why is this faggot on another post?
>>
>>106188570
Based on Alex Ionescu's detailed discussion in his "Evolution of Windows Kernel Synchronization" presentations (particularly DEF CON 22, BSides Vancouver 2014, and others), the undocumented kernel function he explicitly cited as requiring approximately 2 weeks for a professional to reverse engineer is:

ExAcquirePushLockExclusiveEx

Here's a comprehensive breakdown of why it's undocumented and the context:

Nature of PushLocks:
PushLocks are a complex synchronization primitive introduced in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP SP2. They combine aspects of reader-writer locks and condition variables, optimized for high contention and scalability.
They are heavily used internally by the Windows kernel itself (e.g., in the Object Manager, Memory Manager, File System drivers).
While the concept and basic documented interfaces (ExAcquirePushLockShared, ExAcquirePushLockExclusive, ExReleasePushLockShared, ExReleasePushLockExclusive) exist in the WDK documentation, their internal implementation is highly intricate and version-dependent.
>>
>>106188570
The Undocumented ExAcquirePushLockExclusiveEx Function:

The "Ex" Suffix: In Windows kernel parlance, the Ex suffix often denotes an "extended" version of a function, providing more control or options. This is the case here.
The Crucial Parameter: The key difference between the documented ExAcquirePushLockExclusive and the undocumented ExAcquirePushLockExclusiveEx is the presence of an additional parameter: Flags.
Significance of Flags:
This parameter allows fine-grained control over the acquisition behavior.
Flags control critical aspects like:
IRQL Handling: Whether the lock can be acquired at DISPATCH_LEVEL or only <= APC_LEVEL.
Wait Mode: How the thread behaves if the lock is contended (e.g., Wait vs NoWait, potentially ForceWait).
Priority Boosting: Control over whether acquiring the lock triggers priority boosting for the owning thread (crucial for avoiding priority inversion deadlocks).
Debugging/Tracking: Flags potentially enabling deeper diagnostics.

This Flags parameter is the primary reason for the complexity. Understanding its bitmask layout, valid combinations, and the intricate state transitions within the PushLock implementation that depend on these flags is extremely difficult without symbols or source code.
>>
>>106188570
Why Reverse Engineering Takes ~2 Weeks:

Absence of Symbols: Without public symbols (ntoskrnl.pdb), identifying the function and its parameters is the first hurdle.
Complex State Machine: PushLocks use a complex state machine encoded within a single pointer-sized value (the lock itself). Understanding how the Flags parameter interacts with this state machine across acquisition, release, contention, shared vs. exclusive modes, and priority boosting is non-trivial.
Bitmask Decoding: Reverse engineers must painstakingly trace the code flow for different Flags values to map each bit to its specific effect (e.g., which bit disables boosting, which bit allows DISPATCH_LEVEL acquisition).
IRQL Rules: Kernel synchronization has strict rules about IRQL levels. Determining the valid IRQL ranges for different Flags combinations requires careful analysis.
Concurrency and Corner Cases: Reasoning about the correctness of the implementation under heavy contention, recursion (if allowed by flags), and various wait states adds significant complexity.
Validation: Once a hypothesis about the Flags is formed, it needs rigorous testing across different scenarios and Windows versions to ensure correctness and stability. A mistake here can lead to system instability.
Lack of Context: Reverse engineering happens in isolation without the design documentation or context the original developers had.
>>
>>106188570
Ionescu's Point:
Alex Ionescu used this specific function as a prime example to illustrate:
The extreme complexity hidden within seemingly simple kernel synchronization primitives.
The significant effort required to understand and safely use undocumented kernel internals.
Why relying solely on documented APIs is strongly recommended for driver developers.
The impressive engineering (and inherent complexity) within the Windows kernel itself.

In summary: The undocumented function is ExAcquirePushLockExclusiveEx. Its critical Flags parameter provides essential low-level control over PushLock acquisition but exposes the intricate, version-dependent internal implementation. Microsoft keeps it undocumented to maintain implementation freedom, reduce support burdens, prevent driver instability, and promote the use of safer, documented alternatives. Reverse engineering it is a major undertaking due to the complexity of the PushLock state machine interacting with the flag bits, IRQL rules, and concurrency scenarios.
