I’m a little teapot 🫖
Every 2-3 years some fresh exec at Google looks at the iPad market and nurses a semi at the thought of their bonus for eating some of Apple’s lunch. Surprisingly it turns out that you can’t just invent an iPad competitor from scratch in 6-9mo and have it be actually good, who could have guessed. Then it’s time to throw the entire product line out until the next guy comes along and does the same fucking thing.
Samsung is kinda okay as long as you get something like shizuku and use that to enable root management of all of their utter bullshit. That lets you disable a whole heap of intrusive garbage and makes the device actually usable instead of constantly annoying. Rooting gives you even more options but then you have to deal with updating the fucking thing by hand using Odin and a laptop, and God help you if you don’t do it perfectly because it’ll end up needing to be entirely wiped.
Well, yeah, they always do. Republican admins always leave the economy in the shitter and saddle the nation up with debt so that the incoming Democratic admin has to spend all of their time bringing the economy back up to speed rather than implementing effective reform.
Uhhh, so much for the free market Republicans spent decades championing

I have so much to do I’d better have a coffee

I’m so tired I need a nap, but I’m too full of caffeine to take one

Take your meds and all of that falls into place.
Edit: If your meds aren’t helping then either they’re not the right meds for you or it’s worth talking to a therapist to help unwind what’s causing you to be nonfunctional. Meds aren’t a one size fits all thing no matter how much a prescribing doctor may think they are, many people end up trying 3-4 different medications before they find one that works.
No, they’re absolutely not. Check out tricky store and play integrity fork to see how we’re faking a trusted environment on custom and rooted roms. You can pass new basic+device integrity (equivalent to old strong) with a valid unrevoked keybox on A13+ and strong on <=A12.
It’s a new stage in the arms race for sure but it’s still possible to bypass until all of the keys used to sign keyboxes are revoked.
Edit: the device fingerprint is just as important as the keybox too, either can cause you to fail integrity checks. It’s way more annoying to manage than the legacy “just flash PIF” bypass ever was.
Stares at rooted A13+ phone passing 2/3 new integrity checks
It’s possible, but it’s annoying.
on devices running Android 13 or later.
Sounds easy then: stay on the latest Lineage that does not incorporate A13.
This isn’t viable. You can’t run an older android version than a device ships with and eventually older hardware will become obsolete enough that it won’t be able to connect to current gen mobile networks.
For now, sure, you can run android 12 on an older device and bypass integrity easily, but sooner or later that won’t be viable.
I use dd regularly to back up and restore disk images. It’s not particularly hard to use but like sudo rm -rf it absolutely will eat whatever you point it at so you need to understand what the command does and pay attention.
Gee it sure is good we have well funded competent national cybersecurity folks and didn’t lay a bunch of them off
Always remember to say please and thank you
Navigation displays should all be in your field of view while you can see the road. I’m kind of blown away that no one does eye tracking to auto dim displays yet either.
Not enough plaid skirt IMO
I just had my morning coffee and I need to head to the bathroom to create some content
When you’re young masking is a lot easier. Pair that with the ability to drink pots of coffee nonstop throughout the day to self medicate and the time to exercise for at least an hour every day and you can get by pretty effectively. At some point though you get old and busy enough that A: it’s not possible to physically drink enough coffee to self medicate anymore and B: you don’t always have 1-2h a day to devote to exercise. At that point it becomes apparent that you should probably be on medication if you want to remain high functioning.
Looks like the AI has trained on enough “this looks like your homework assignment, good luck!” comments
Ah, yeah, it’s a rare Samsung tablet that has real lineage support these days. The last one I used was the tab S5e and performance vs the S6 was so bad that I pawned it off on a relative within six weeks. I’m using stock OneUI with magisk on my S6 and S9 which means downloading the entire OneUI image from Samsungs update server, decrypting and splitting it, then patching with magisk and kicking it back over to the laptop to flash parts to the device with Odin. It’s a lot more work than updating an AB phone.
