there’s the problem with religion: you allow random fantasies to permeate everyday life and it’ll inevitably spill over.
case in point: the fantasy that there’s a good-guy backdoor, unaccessible to bad guys.
so, demand away, preferably at the same place you entertain all other fantasies, like theaters, cinemas, tax-exempt criminal conspiracies churches, strip clubs, and the like.
so, just to check, this thing's useless, right?
got a 5-year old phone with a degraded battery that lasts half a hummingbird's fart and installed lineageOS 21. yet the battery info claims the battery is in excellent condition.
anyone knows how to accomplish similar with LineageOS? I had a programmable power off and on timer ona Samsung S3 a long time ago, but that’s missing from the current builds.
anyone tried building android for their device on a sub-stellar PC? my phone doesn't have LOS21/A14 available so I tried the build-it-yourself route... dios mio, this takes eons!
I know it's a huge code base, but I had no concept of the size... I've left it syncing the repo like two hours ago and it's at 10%. no idea if it's gonna build at all and if it takes a day to download the thing and another one to build it (Ryzen 5) maybe I should go look for a $100 replacement that still gets LineageOS.
anyone been down this road?
I guess this should be an appropriate community, participants possibly on the older side... so, I only recently got my first gamepad. played with keyboard and mouse up until then.
so, with a couple of games I tried (tomb raiders, uncharted, NFS, etc) it's kinda going but I suck at anything that needs fast responses, like aiming and hitting moving enemies; don't think I'd have any trouble with a mouse.
so I guess my question is - any old timers around that got good at this late in their gaming career?
tried it, that’s the opposite of what I need. that app guesses what’s going on with the battery, based on prolonged usage patterns. I need something that talks to the battery controller and gives me numbers I can use.

tried CPU-Z, says health is "Good". gee, thanks... out of what, "Excellent" through "Shit" or what?

I don't wanna go through sourcing the battery, prying the thing open and replacing it, only to find out that's how it's supposed to work. any ideas?
same thing with lemmy clients, manually clicking through 100 check boxes of supported domains... can't the app ask to do it on first launch? or is my setup to blame?
Linux Mint Debian Edition 32-bit. but like there’s no way you’re gonna do anything useful with it. source: I have a C2D, so at least double as fast, max 4 GB RAM (doesn’t use all of it), X1600 graphics. that thing is unusable for anything.
granted, if you wanna enter your thoughts in some rudimentary text editor and just go CLI only, maybe you can have a whole week before you realize it isn’t worth it. huge power draw, terrible performance, a battery that lasts half a second and a screen that you can sorta-maybe-sometimes read.
quad core laptops with IPS screens that can run up to 16 GB are like $50 nowadays. throw it out.
thanks for the link, explains it very well. how bout my activity, like IP address, up/down votes, clicks on links, favorites and whatnot, is that federated around or how does that work, i.e. who has access to it?
