Recent iphone models have “easily” removable back glass, and it’s actually the main entrypoint for replacing the battery, lowering costs due lower risk of a broken screen (see new google pixels with screens that almost always break on removal)

After this, apple also lowered the cost of most repairs, including on models that don’t get the new replaceable back. the non applecare cost for a battery replacement ranges from 80-100 dollars roughly. which is comparable to the cost of a replacement with even a generic battery from a 3rd party shop.

please don’t

obviously, because absolutely nobody buys the equivalent products already sold by google and amazon

the play services are not installed by default*

just so everyone is aware grapheneos only support’s pixels because it is specifically designed for taking advantage of the hardware security features found in google’s tensor and titan chips. and thus installing it on another phone would kinda miss the point (and vastly increase the scope of the project)

google is also basically the best company when it comes to phones for custom roms, as they provide stock images, a simple bootloader unlocking process (that doesn’t void your warranty as far as i can tell), and generally the aosp and software support that comes from being the phone of the developer of android.

yes they can, not consistently, but at a rate thats good enough that i can say “ai can draw hands”

it will probably run kaios, so yes

stay theory was shut down and absorbed by intercept games

i did not say otherwise

i don’t think you understand what i’m saying

yes and people 4 months ago were like “haha stupid ai art can’t draw hands” and now that’s just like not a valid argument because the tech has matured to a degree that its pretty reasonable to create something with little to no imperfections, and obviously that will happen again with video

My point is basically that matrix/element is arguable the much more ethical chat solution because of its openess still with a focus on security.

signal protocol is basically the opposite, open source but the company is hostile to 3rd party client development

crazy take

I’m curious why you want an intel cpu over an amd one

Well yes obviously but it does serve a purpose as a maintained fork, that’s why I included that. I expect a normal fork will be made soon because of this news.

The readme states:

“This repo also serves as an updated version of the original neofetch since the upstream dylanaraps/neofetch doesn’t seem to be maintained anymore (as of Oct 27, 2023, the original repo hasn’t merged a pull request for almost 2 years). If you only want to use the updated neofetch without pride flags, you can use the neofetch script from this repo. To prevent command name conflict, I call it neowofetch :)”

You realize how massive of a marketing pull both of those are right, the 1000 dollar wheels were like 20% why people didn’t forget the mac pro 2 days after it was announced.

It just depends if it’s something people need
