Because my S24 base is already the best phone for my use cases.

I may upgrade if Samsung decides to make an S27 Pro (base model size with Ultra shit like cameras and AR screen) like what was rumored with this year's S26 Pro that never appeared. In the meantime there isn't a better small phone on the market. S25 and S26 are direct upgrades, but not by much besides the SoC, so no point in upgrading until battery degradation and oleophobic coating wear start being apparent in 1-2 years.

Oh, I also use it to transfer my media list exemple hdd 1 movie : movie1,2,3...

So. Having Intel Wi-Fi support as a module file (like normal people usually do) makes it look for firmware from /lib/firmware/intel/iwlwifi. But when you bake it into the image it suddenly looks for the firmware from the root of the firmware directory.
Feature or a bug?

>"Actually what do you think of trying to DIY something like a Linux Phone today?"
Completely undoable. Smartphones could be a lot because objectively they are pocket computers. Whoever, they have been dumbed down a fuckton and nowdays the bar is so low that I can only hope it to be a good tool to keep me communicated with people of relevance to me (aka family, friends and people from my job) and keep me up to date with important information or vital tools (aka my country equivalent of cashapp, and google maps).
Because of this, it's essential for me and most people at least being able to access: Whatsapp/Telegram, Cashapp (or whatever equivalent you use) and google maps.
I could use an alternative client for email handling, I could open youtube, twitter and linkedin through a relatively respectable alternative browser, and my beloved alarms could even be replaced by a watch and a desktop clock.
But those first three can't be easily replaced because they are ingrained like a cancer, because they rely on google services and thus they could never be implemented on a "DIY Linux Phone", because the most serious alternative is a DIY AOSP implementation and it still lacks the google parts that lets the essentials work, and a non-android implementation would get a stroke trying to do things like handling the propietary camera of the phone, or... actually it's going to struggle at handling any and every bit of proprietary hardware of the smartphone itself.
This shit is rotten to the fucking core. And getting linux is replacing barely performant software with straight up non-functional software.
The only thing that comes close to not being cancer is trying to make a SBC/smartphone abomination that has wires running through your clothes to connect the unholy processing device with the peripherals it needs to be reasonably powerful and functional. Whoever you will look like a mega-autist with it and thus it's not valid.

>>108521494
>Aren't guinea pigs getting all the new stuff?
Depends. Some are more self respecting than others.
Despise being meme'd on, arch doesn't actually push unstable software into their main repos, you have to manually enable their staging repos (or whatever they call it). Those guinea pigs get their cake and eat it too.
Fedora is different. You get some unstable code being pushed while also not having the latest and greatest of everything. Worst of both words, plus they're owned by red hat.

Can't I offload compiling to beefy modern CPU over network these days? One of the biggest blessings with this old G4 is 1gbps LAN. If I can do that I'd be much less hesitant, a month of compiling on a single ppc cpu to get a functional desktop environment is a bit brutal.

This entertainment purposes only has been a legal loophole forever, tons of products say that. It means nothing.

My stinkpad decided to die on me for good
I don't feel like fixing it, instead I decided to get a decent phone and survive with it for a while until I can afford to build a real PC
Should I get something like used S24+ (Exynos, I can't find the SD version in my shithole) so I can supposedly use it with my 27" 1440p monitor, or would that be a retarded idea and I should go for something with more raw power but no such features like a new Poco F7 (SD, similar price)

Depends on what you want to read. A cheap b&w Kobo with 300ppi like the Clara BW should be entry level for reflowable epubs. If you want pdf, manga and other fixed layouts you're better off with a large display like Boox Go 10.3 Gen 2 (Lumi), Note Air 5C, Note Max or Tab XC.

>>108519840
Kindle doesn't support epub files. They support converting epub files via Amazon's servers and you could already do that on your local computer. You can get an older used Kindle that can still be jailbroken, install Koreader and leave it completely offline but it's extra steps and limitations.

What is a system call?

>>108520569
lowest level of the operating system's user mode accessible API, how you delegate function calls between kernel mode and user mode
windows doesn't really call them in most documentation, it calls its syscalls the NT API, because they do things a bit different, especially with regards to access and interface stability as well as context switching since some of their system calls don't switch modes and are instead directly accessible, clones of the ones that do, meant for things like user mode drivers or NT API applications

You think that's what happens? Shit, he'll claim hostile work environment and get unemployment while he finds another job. Not to mention he's a freetard so he likely lives borderline monastic and has loads of savings. I always make sure that I've got enough saved up that I can say "fuck this place" if something happens to make my work life unpleasant to the point where I'm miserable.

And working with a bunch of cunts who literally won't install localsend so that ALL of you can "airdrop" to each other regardless of OS gives me a pretty good idea that there's two sides to this story. Though 99.9% chance this is engagement bait bullshit anyway and never happened.

>>108521711
Good. I'm not the only one who thought "why the fuck didn't these retards just install localsend and call it a day?"

>>108521486
This doesn't just apply to software or the gui, but even the language we speak to each other. People aren't taught reason in school, but they are told to vote, and that their opinion matters. It's all mind control. It's all bait for the worst parts of people.

So, i have to assume the worst? I have to bavkup my apps?

My work assumed someone was stealing because a box of sandwiches went missing (most likely it never arrived on the truck but was labelled as having arrived since stealing an entire box isn't possible unless multiple employees were in on it). So my manager decided to install annoying as fuck cameras literally all over the back of the store. Now I can't feel at peace or even take a quick 5 minute sitdown without feeling like I'm being watched and will get written up. I'm trying to find ways to hack the cameras since I know it's pretty easy for most IP cams.

Anyone have any experience hacking 3xlogic Cameras or their Vigil client? I want to constantly be taking them down, even on my days off just to piss off management.

>>108496725
found a couple of old big HDDs in an old house my dad bought to transform it into an airbnb. They were inside a box along with a RX 6800XT. The old owner didn't reclaim it so my dad ended giving it to me to do whatever i want.

I work alone on overnights. I get everything I need to get done within only 5ish hours of my 8 hour shift. I'm essentially just a warm body to run the register when I have nothing else to do. I can only lock the store to use the restroom for up to 5 minutes and customers do complain if I use the restroom so they'll find out if I do that. I just want to be able to sit in the back and wait for people instead of standing at the register for no reason. They also get upset if I use my phone, even though there is literally nothing to do. I'd rather hack the cameras because fuck these niggers. This aint prison

Yes. In NM. Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) fires pulses at the reflectors frequently and you can actually go there and observe, or if you're a UNM student you can use the laser rangefinder yourself. Both of which I've done. Hence why I know it's something literally anyone can do.
