Its fine, except it shunts “all day” events to the previous day.
The amount of times I went to roll my trash cans out Wednesday night… Trash is picked up early Friday morning, so I have an all day “event” on Thursday that reminds me periodically to bring them out Thursday night. For whatever reason, Fossify calendar shows those kinds of events a day early and it drove me absolutely insane, because there’s no way to fix it.
Even the modern GPUs we have now can function at a basic level with generic drivers, and motherboard-mounted chipsets typically handle things like PCI, storage, and other I/O. Those chipsets also support multiple CPUs, sometimes even multiple generations.
This hasn’t been the case in 20 years now.
Oh ok, so the B550 chipset in my PC that handles PCI-E, USB, SATA, and supports Excavator through Zen3 isn’t real, got it. Same with the Q270 in my Optiplex 7050 that also handles PCI-E, USB, SATA, and supports 6th and 7th gen Intel CPUs; I guess that isn’t real either. My bad.
ARM systems are typically manufactured with everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, modem, I/O controllers, etc) on the same die.
This has no bearing on software support at all.
Then why don’t you go inform the LineageOS devs that they’re obviously doing it wrong.
Not really. The vast majority of PCs are what’s called “IBM compatible”, based on x86 architecture, which is heavily standardized and backwards-compatible (which is why you can still run DOS natively on a brand new Intel or AMD CPU). Even the modern GPUs we have now can function at a basic level with generic drivers, and motherboard-mounted chipsets typically handle things like PCI, storage, and other I/O. Those chipsets also support multiple CPUs, sometimes even multiple generations.
ARM systems are typically manufactured with everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, modem, I/O controllers, etc) on the same die. Drivers for those often aren’t updated for very long, and rarely (if ever) released to consumers for third party usage, unlike the majority of IBM-compatible PC drivers typically are.
Oh my god dude.
Look, I get it. But if it was that easy, don’t you think the devs would have implemented that already?
Why don’t you hop over to their repos and start contributing?
I literally explained why it matters. SoC hardware varies too much, and they aren’t standardized like PCs are. It’s not as simple as you think. It should be, but in reality it’s not.
The “PC” got its start as “IBM-compatible”, which is what PCs that we know and love today are still based on. It’s a standardized architecture, CPUs are all x86-based, and there are a lot of common drivers (HID devices like mouse & keyboard, generic gfx drivers that can run most GPUs at a basic level, etc).
ARM isn’t standardized like PCs are. That’s where the disconnect is. There are no “generic” drivers for things like modems, chipsets, graphics, etc. like there are on PCs. And there are literally thousands of ARM phones running all sorts of varying hardware that use proprietary driver from the manufacturer that may or may not ever be updated.
Those “next-next-next” installers are doing exactly what you described under the hood. However, with Android devices, there are so many variants and drivers that a single installer couldn’t possibly cover all of them.
The Lineage OS devs make solid guides that are pretty easy to follow though. If your device is supported, there will be a guide for it. Yes, you have to use the command line for some parts. That’s hardly the hardest part.
My SO has had several and really liked them until they broke or got lost (the phones’ quality really aren’t to blame here). I’ve offered the Sony Xperia 10 VI to my dad last Christmas and it doesn’t come with much bloat at all, I would call it good.
Sony Xperia phones are great, until you unlock the bootloader and it wipes the camera software, leaving you with a camera that takes worse pics than a literal potato.
But if you want a completely bloat-free phone, you can’t beat Google Pixel flashed with GrapheneOS.
This is my plan for my P9PXL. I’m weaning myself off of Google’s services, but I need to find something comparable to Keep. I use Keep for a lot of random notes and ideas, and so far nothing I’ve found comes close (Nextcloud Notes included).
I’ve been daily-driving Linux Mint (LMDE 6) on my Thinkpad T14 G1 for almost a year now. At this point, that laptop is easily the most dependable machine I’ve ever had. My gaming PC is the last remaining Windows machine in my house. Recently I’ve been making sure everything is backed up (Syncthing is great for this) and finding alternatives for programs that don’t have a Linux version.
My plan is to create images of both my SSDs (500GB & 2TB, both NTFS 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️) onto a 4TB hard drive. Then start from scratch, migrating data from the images (Steam games, config files, personal documents I may have missed, etc) when/if I need it.
US carriers are wise to that already. The biggest cost with US carriers is data - one can get a really cheap no-data plan with texting and calling for next to nothing, but a data-only SIM will still be like $20/mo at the minimum.
Is it unfair? Absolutely. Unfortunately we in the US always get the shaft because corporations have much more power than the people.
I’m 36 and I’m not hurt by it at all. I completely understand why so many women would choose the bear. I also have three daughters (including a teenager), so I guess that helped to put things into perspective for me, but still… There are, unfortunately, a lot of men who have sexually assaulted women, and because men are the “default” in a lot of authority positions, it’s easy for men like that to assume that everyone wants what they want, including sexual advances; no matter how minimal.
Like I said - if you’re not the kind of man that does this kind of thing, great, but you gotta let it roll off your back. The complaints are legitimate, and I’ll bet your gf has experienced it herself. My wife has, and even my ex-wife has as well.
I’ll give you a tip: Instead of asking “how do I not feel offended”, ask yourself (and you could ask your gf as well) “how can I help to make the situation better?” It’s absolutely an uncomfortable situation, and acknowledging it goes a long way.
You gotta have some more self awareness, man. Stop trying to please those who are always complaining, and just be a good person for the sake of being a good person. Don’t do things to gain favor in the eyes of others.
And if you’re not part of the problem (i.e. you’re not a total piece of shit), then those complaints don’t apply to you anyway. If someone comes up to you and starts blaming you for societal problems simply because you’re a man… that’s someone you don’t wanna be involved with anyway.
The server is the main purpose - it’s a replacement for Google Photos. The app is an extension of the server.
But yes, the frustration is real. I have the infrastructure set up at home to handle this stuff; but for the layperson who doesn’t do this stuff, I can imagine it’s really irritating to come across Immich in the app store, download it, then suddenly get prompted to point it to a server that doesn’t exist.
