result is they are physically different even though they are made of the
same material.
There are sites that have information on hacks to different pieces of

Rather than argue about the definition of "different", it is probably

No, the byte is read-only and is pressed in permanently in the manufacturing
process. The only thing you can do is the "swap trick" and that only if your
