    "Please insure you have a fully charged battery and Do Not power off Rover during firmware upgrade, Interruption of upgrade may prevent systems booting and will require physical access to the device to recover. Do you want to continue??"

    The post gave me a good laugh. Imagine if it doesn't boot back up XD. Definitely nice learning how flash memory actually works, never knew that flash memory could physically and literally wear away. Interesting stuff, good post cyber
