      as someone who did an ESP based project for end users, this is really useful to let users flash new stuff on their device without needing some convoluted toolchain on your computer

      it was really really useful to tell people “go to xyz and select the option you want, follow the on screen instructions and you’re done. sorry, chrome only”
