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

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.

HyperV4every1 version whateverthefuckitis

Until the bubble bursts

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

Thanks, I think I got 24awg cca before I swapped them to pure copper, and now I also think, I wanna re crimp all of my connectors using staggered ones lol

Also learned this the hard way, when i was starting my “homelab” , I bought a box of (not knowingly that its bad) cheap CCA(copper clad alum) cat6 cables and im wondering why are my access points not negotiating to gigabit, turns out cca are trash and shouldn’t be used on POE or even on high speed trunks, learned my lesson now and swapped my cables to pure copper, they are more expensive like 100$ more expensive but at least they do the job.

Might be, china plans to implement their “opensource” version of kylin os to ditch windows
