the fact that this is even a controversy goes to show how brain rotted such a huge amount of people is, its absolutely baffling

yea you’re right but this is just the phone i already have sadly, i would really love to see it supported by postmarketos, maybe once i know a bit more programming ill look at what it would take to get the network stack working or just hope someone else does so in the next few years(unlikely since nobody is working on the port rn, i contacted them to make sure)

you compared a tesla to a Lamborghini… and were complaining that chinese evs selling well doesn’t mean theyre better than teslas when objectively many of these cars have a bunch of reasons that they are reviewed better than teslas. You using the stock market to act like teslas are some gold standard has some pretty big importance as to why it matters to bring up Elon Musk and government subsidies, because tesla wouldn’t have that valuation at all without those realities.

it really is yea, even if most didnt work if at least networking and cpu/gpu support works i wouldve gone for it

yea thats the only reason why i think getting a cheap old computer really isnt worth it, youll be charged more in power by way more and way faster compared to a phone that just sips power or a pi etc

i wouldve if it was supported for this phone this was the second option when it wasnt supported lol

oh really? is it not possible to update an android kernel then? i assumed they used and included existing but modified or updated kernels

oh this is fuckin awesome bet

and in samsung’s case to install israeli spyware while theyre at it

thats something i dont really know anything about lol i tried doing a cursory search and its a bit confusing to know if thats possible or not

thats awesome though and cool as fuck its a good way to breathe new life into what wouldve been ewaste

whats the stuff you ran on it?

i dont wanna use docker but i did just find a docker image for armv8 so it seems that is at least something that could be done and docker seems to work on android

yea if ppl have old batteries i would def suggest they replace the battery online i take apart this phone regularly and wld notice issues w it, and it was my daily driver before this so i was less worried about that as it wasnt sitting around, but people should replace their batteries when necessary its not something you wanna fuck around with.

i dont know if keypassxc can sync with nextcloud but if it can then running nextcloud and connecting your devices to sync there is what i was gonna look at actually but ik less abt it than the rest so far

i shouldve said people should do that if possible for them but theyre not supported on all devices most capabilities didnt have support for my a32 sadly
