  • Why, instead of safely entering a BIOS setup

    effiency and lawsuits, phones has embedded hardware, its a bit op to have that initial hardware calls for a embedded hardware system.

    BIOS is initally an IBM tech

    _does the cell phone brick when installing the Custom ROM wrongly? _

    Android is based on linux, that includes the partitioned bootloader (mostly grub on linux and fastboot on android, they're not technically the same but the idea is somewhat related) if that partition is messed up then its most likely not to boot

    Wouldn't this protection be better for users? I mean, this could be done through ADB.

    Android is owned by a corporation, I dont think that will be their primary objective

    Also, do you think it's possible that this way of doing things will come to the computer, with ARM hoping to gain a good share of the market and all?

    ARM is mostly a cpu design corporation that offers license fee to other companies to manufacture thier cpu designs, they're everywhere. It depends on thier licensees what to add to make profit.

  • As much as I want to agree to this, a part of me screams "STOP FANBOYING CORPORATIONS"

    Lemme tell you a short story about bait and switch

    We all know that android is a collaboration of companies to have an open handset ecosystem (which is weird, because these are companies driven for profit)

    one of these companies is quallcomm, they were so nice that they released an open source "bridge" for devs to thier hardware called codeauroraforums

    Thier marketshare grew and the performance of thier hardware were miles ahead the competition

    Then it came when these "subpar" and cheaper semicons caught up on thier performance and also...covid happened

    it shrank quallcomms earnings, made them to make some "decisions" and one of them is killing codeauroraforums, switched thier "opensource" stuff to codelinaro in which, all of the hardware supported are devkits of thier struggling snapdragon x

    In addition to these decisions to increase earnings, they also made a deal with microsoft to make laptop chipsets (just like what apple did. Unfortunately, barebone windows on arm is different from windows on snapdragon unlike apple with thier walled garden wherein they've designed thier chips inhouse)

    now they're finger pointing who'll support that thing, lmao

    So...uhm..yea, stop fanboying corporations and thank you for listening to my ted talk

    btw AMD is cool with linux...for now

  • It is super limited with the qualcomm chipsets, its mostly dev boards or thier struggling current platforms like oryon. Unlike CAF where the source code will be released after a week or so the chip has been announced, sometimes they mess up and leaks something up.

  • Also learned this the hard way, when i was starting my "homelab" , I bought a box of (not knowingly that its bad) cheap CCA(copper clad alum) cat6 cables and im wondering why are my access points not negotiating to gigabit, turns out cca are trash and shouldn't be used on POE or even on high speed trunks, learned my lesson now and swapped my cables to pure copper, they are more expensive like 100$ more expensive but at least they do the job.

  • Im no audiophile but here are my takes

    For powered bookshelf speakers : either presonus eris 4.5 (with or without bt) or edifier r1700bt but mostly leaning to presonus, i went with edifier since presonus was priced almost double in my country.

    Here's a good sample of these speakers

  • I agree with what you've said about enforcement and also as an ex smoker 🤝

    However, I don't agree with total ban of stinkies and vapes, etc(as much as i also would like to) because it will cause a fuck ton of new problems, just look at US alcohol prohibition during 1920s and wow, that was wild (feel free to watch oversimplified video about it, i find it as a good reference material)
