Published the third part of my blog series about Hydroph0bia (CVE-2025-4275) vulnerability, this one is about the fix as Insyde applied it, and my thoughts on improvements for it.

Remember the original Retina MacBook of 2015, that had a single USB-C 3.1 port for everything? I had to work on fixing the firmware for it, and my serial cable could not support both UART and charging, and EFI had no power management, so the thing drained its small battery in less than an hour. FUN TIMES!!! (Dear reader, if you represent an OEM making ultrabooks, please never do this!)
