  • From my perspective, he is probably referring to chromeOS’s crosvm container, which virtualises a debian install (or other distros). Since Chromebooks are popular in schools, predominantly in the USA but even still globally, students are likely to attempt to gain further functionality out of their devices, and hence experiment with Linux, get used to it and possibly install it on different devices (or on that same Chromebook through the mrchromebox firmware) in the future.

    Edit: alternatively, he could just be referring to flooding the market with cheap Linux laptops for specific purposes like education workflows or standard consumer workflows, just like how Chromebooks achieved that footing in the market.


  • I actually had an AI assist me in flashing the firmware, as well as flashing a custom ROM later on, of a phone I was just testing on for fun, and I was only confident since I had a chunk of prior knowledge of ADB as well as other tools and the differences between mobile and desktop system structures, and for the stuff I didn’t understand or know, I just researched externally and figured it out.

    Blindly trusting it though is a fools errand, just like myself a few years back messing with my laptop’s Linux install, copy pasting everything and then complaining when shit broke.













  • Cats aren’t animals, they’re robots. The reason they purr is because they have fans.

    Instead of selling him, unscrew the 4 pentalobe screws to remove the stomach plate, which will then expose 2 torx T6 screws to remove the neck plate. This then exposes 3 of the 7 total torx T4 screws for the 3 frame pieces that need to be unscrewed to access the motherboard. Before accessing the motherboard, 6 Philips head screws must be unscrewed and the board then can be pulled out.

    Unfortunately, most cats have soldered LPDDR5 RAM chips, and therefore can only be desoldered to extract the DRAM chips, although some models of cat sometimes do have upgradable ram, such as pre 2015 cats with standard SO-DIMM modules (usually 2 sticks from 2 to 4 GB each,) or rare high spec cats which tend to have LPCAMM modules instead (on average being 1 stick of 32gb or higher).






  • the way you worded this sounds as though there is no justification possible for not wanting to do phone calls.

    There are the more common reasons for not appreciating calls such as introversion (which you can’t easily remove as though it’s a band-aid) as well as generally being too tired or overworked to do a call at that time.

    Theres also, less commonly, neurodivergent traits that make phone calls very overwhelming, such as autistic folk’s over analysis of how they may sound, what they say and the tone and other characteristics of the person on the other side, or ADHD folk’s executive dysfunction, effectively preventing ease in taking a phone call in the first place, and many other neurotypes having differing traits.

    It’s not an issue of people being scared by phone calls most of the time, it can simply be apathy, inconvenience, and other aspects that prevent genuinely wanting to take a phone call.

    For myself, I hate phone calls unless I’m on a commute with people I know since I know I won’t be disturbing them by calling someone else, or at times I have nothing provisioned for a specific time of day. I’m not weak willed, im not stupid, I just am neurodivergent, possibly with ADHD and autism (although not entirely sure, I don’t want to completely agree with my self diagnosis until I’m close to getting assessed).

    Lastly, I don’t blame you for taking this point of view, it’s natural for many people to think this even if they have a wide perspective, it’s just better to dive into the reasons why these phenomena happen.
