    Originally called Phoenix, since it was Netscape Navigator, reborn.

    But Phoenix Technologies disliked that, so they renamed to a descriptive name for the same immortal bird – Firebird.

    The Firebird database people would have none of that, so after a few-months gap between 0.x releases, they found the closest thing they possibly could which was not trademarked. It had nothing to do with the original name idea, fire being a weak link.

    And we’ve been stuck with that stupid name for two decades.
















  • Have a ready Qemu image of a Windows install. Have a live distro that has (or can install to RAM) Qemu. Boot Windows using Qemu in the live environment, and VFIO-passthrough your NVME as a PCI device. Install and run the official Windows-based update tool, which now has raw access to the SSD.

    At least that’s what I’m doing for my WD.
