  • Without support from the vendor they don’t. Mobile computing is so locked down right now that it might be possible that not even the vendor can repair a bricked phone tbh.

    Compare it to a broken BIOS on a PC. You can basically throw out your motherboard if you fail while updating it. Some devices have hardware pins used only for provisioning and debugging (JTAG) but they would have to be reverse engineered first.















  • I’m not into drama in general, and those are serious allegations. He sure had questionable stuff going on, but considering him being an actual nazi had always seemed far off to me, but we’ll never know.

    This guy rambling about degoogling and GrapheneOS, to an audience (700k views after 3h) that surely has nothing to do with that, is just great news to me as of now.



  • My work environment is chaotic enough for me to have to cycle through 4 different instances of VSCode, terminals and Firefox, while simultaneously doing tech support for windows issues. I’d have switched to Linux if it wasn’t for the last bit.

    I work on a 14" Laptop with 1080p60 that is the second display, while i use the 27" 1440p as the main one. I use a USB C dongle to connect and can therefore can only get 60hz because the screen will flicker otherwise (though on Linux the dongle works even for 144hz, which is above the dongle rating of 120hz, but I digress).

    I’m a bit constrained with the available space, so I use only my Laptop + screen for work and only the single screen for my personal rig, which is kind of a bummer. Will opt for a 4k ~120hz ~40-50" OLED TV for my next second “monitor” though (:
