and they are priced worse, like $300-500 a month

lmao what kind of r&d? some kind of lying bs like atx12vo then market their chips as power efficient since it is drawing power on other power rail?

Geez, that is some stupid situation, I kinda got excited with oryon going on android since it is their only ip that is currently being opensourced.

IDK man but my tinfoil hat says that apple are the one who is pulling the strings on arm with regards to this.

Is this somewhat related why qualcomm suddenly decided to bring oryon to smartphones?

Can I go with 6? I kinda like 6

Does commercial displays also has “smart” bs on it?

thank you for your responses and sry i forgot to add,

Im not super familiar with the pc hardware market and im not sure if this is a riffoff price

My old i5 540m died and i was thinking of getting a n100 laptop, but the cheapest i can find is around 350 in USD and after checking the benchmarks, theyre not way off compared to an i5 6200u, so that kinda caught me off in a weird dilemma.

It’ll most likely to be a linux machine.

Aside from negative nature consequences caused by humans, they also eat themselves…so yea…sad.

My only concern to these machines is that if theyre running an intel chip, its most likely to have intel ME which is a QOL stuff but a potential backdoor. Luckily, these cheap mini pcs has most of the time, an unlocked bios, so it is easier to pull the bios bin, patch it with intel ME removal and then reflash the patched bios.

I find the US branded ones (HP, DELL, etc.) more pain in the ass to patch the bios because most of them has locked bios. Doable but a pain in the ass for sure.

Both looks inbred, but not too inbred to have genomic erosion

Cool

For bloatware, this is what I use if you have access to adb https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation/

As for privacy, I cant think of any approach for base roms aside from piping your connection through a vpn that screens every IP or domain from that device whatever it reaches to. Unfortunately, I dont know any vpn that could do that.

Until the bubble bursts

That is some knowledge I wish I never learned.

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
