Ok, that’s fair. I just use the english terms anyways and usually also change the interface language to english.

Apparently for some people (my mom) the search or filters work better on Temu. No idea why, I only ever use AliExpress.
I mean it sucks for him, but after having been away for three months with more leave time coming the company probably doesn’t have any obligation to keep him hired.
At least that’s the case here in Switzerland (if you worked for a company long enough) and I’d be surprised if the US had better protections.
Yes, because he’s using Linux for those parts
Usually you can get the kernel source for Qualcomm at least, MediaTek tho…
You can pay ARM to build and sell cores, you can’t do that for x86.
There are basically two different approaches to drivers. Windows will have some very basic drivers built-in, but most of them are downloaded and installed when a component that requires them is detected in current versions of Windows.
Linux on the other hand includes every driver it knows about out of the box. You won’t ever need to install additional drivers if the hardware is supported. This makes Linux an excellent portable system, you can just take a drive out of one pc with an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU and put it into one with an Intel CPU and AMD GPU without driver issues*.
*as long as you stick to the included drivers
New stuff gets called AI until it is useful, then we call it something else.

Apparently this wasn’t always that obvious.

It feels like I heard that somewhere before and looking at my profile, I did cancel Jellyfin at some point.
I supported Finamp for a while until they removed sponsoring, guess I’ll do Findroid now.
And they now have a working release pipeline, so releasing often is easier.
I don’t know how good it is, but for Turing and later GPUs there’s a new official open source driver being developed. You’d likely have to use a more bleeding edge distro to get that.
VR works depending on your headset. Index is fine, Oculus doesn’t work.
You could make a usb stick of your desired distro and test everything without permanent changes before commiting.
With Mozilla Location Services going away soon, I’m wondering at the legality of using the Apple data to seed a replacement.
Syncing two instances sounds like a fun challenge. I think there’s some project to replicate an sqlite db over the network. Similarly, you could use ceph or other distributed storage for the media.
I built something like this for Nextcloud a few years back, fun times.
TIL, thanks for that tip
Is this still an issue with UEFI nowadays? The other bootloader should still be selectable in the bootmenu if it wasn’t overwritten.
You can soon in the EU
I’d never heard of Transsion before, so I took a quick look on Wikipedia.
TLDR:
They sell mostly inexpensive phones in poorer regions.
Features of their phones are targeted for those regions, like Africa, where they have special features to calibrate camera exposure for darker skin, retain dual SIM and support many local languages.
