Pretty sure they’re talking about making a distro, not forking the Linux kernel. I don’t see any reason why they would need to fork it anyway.

You can run AI models on Android by using ncnn. It just uses Vulkan.

The way it works is that you need a proprietary app (in the past it was on PC and you had to connect the phone over USB, now it’s an app on the phone) where you log in with the Xiaomi Account that is also logged in on your phone. Then you “request” a bootloader unlock and after a week or so you can do the same thing again and it unlocks the bootloader. My guess would be that it uses encryption on the phone in some way and the server sends the decryption key. I also just thought that the process is so tedious that someone should have come up with a way to circumvent it already but maybe no one wanted to invest the time since it was possible that way. Either way, I don’t have experience with this kind of thing, so I’m not really the person to figure it out.

Based on how much HyperOS (and the fucking name) sucks, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader. I really hope someone does soon because I really don’t want my dad to continue getting tortured by having to use it.

So that’s why unlocking the bootloader on my dad’s phone doesn’t work. This really sucks, I hope there’s some other way to do it because HyperOS is straight ass.

Parties in the “middle” have always done right wing politics. There is no political center, those are just right wingers that don’t want to admit it or feel superior because they “listen to both sides”.

Using the iGPU might save power but the resolution doesn’t need to be turned down for that

Whaaaaat…? In a time of economic struggles, companies would rather support fascists than risk letting socialism take over? This certainly never happened before, especially not in Germany.

Same 😞🚬

That’s my new character. He’s just a chill guy who low key doesn’t give af.

Germany doesn’t even follow the EU’s minimum wage

Freetube just loads the videos from YouTube directly if you don’t activate the proxy option (which will use Invidious or Piped, haven’t used Freetube in a while so idk which one it was)

Would have upvoted but it was at 69

There’s @loops@pixelfed.social, which is getting a beta release soon

If you buy a used one, you can probably get it a good but cheaper as well

I think there’s also similar devices to a Raspberry Pi that are cheaper

I also have a fingerprint reader in the screen but I feel like the one on the back of my Redmi 5 Plus was more reliable. It’s not a dealbreaker tho.

You can already charge wirelessly. As for the speakers, Samsung has an OLED TV that vibrates the glass of the screen to produce sound, maybe something similar would be possible on a phone too. Don’t know if something similar would be possible for the mic.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want a phone like that but it would be cool to see if it’s possible.

You can disable COW for specific files btw

Really cool how even phones in that price range have 120hz screens now, my current phone (Nothing Phone 1) is also in that price range and has a display like that. IPhone users should really be madder at Apple for not putting 120hz screens on the non-pro phones, even though they cost way more than these Android phones.
