  • To be fair, it can also mean “one of my fucking radiator fans is not responding quickly enough to computer control”

    Which was not a fun experience when that happened to me, full fucking BEEP BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER with a check engine and a STOP sign blaring on the digital system display panel, made me panic out of my mind because a radiator fan was a removed





  • Huawei? I don’t know of any write-ups, but basically

    There is a HongMengOS (Harmony OS) that’s a microkernel for embedded systems, there is also another OS by the same name that’s basically We Have Android At Home™, they have their own app store and their own app SDK that last time I checked, you needed to submit your real life government ID and credentials to be able to download.

    Imagine that, you want to develop an app and you need to give your full legal detail to Huawei for review and after you’re manually cleared you can be bestowed the permission of downloading the fucking IDE

    They also don’t provide any device sources and their bootloader is fully locked down, it’s completely impossible to use anything other than Huawei shite on their phones









  • You need to keep the update log and go through the whole thing and see if something needs reconfiguring. Sounds shitty? Yeah, that’s why I stopped using Arch and Gentoo despite being a veteran

    Nowadays I just install Debian or some derivative and call it a damn day. Unless you need some exotic setup (and those are more suited to Gentoo or Slackware anyway)




  • First off, run Syyu, the old arch gods demand it

    Also have a copy of pacman-static somewhere so that you can fix your shit in case of a partial upgrade (and trust me, it can go horribly wrong)

    And thirdly, Arch is meant as a power user distro – despite this abhorrent popularity it has gained, the fact of the matter remains that you need to know the system inside and out, if you make your arch system unable to boot… Don’t use arch

    This is not my attempt at elitism. Arch was never meant to be a hassle free distro and it sure as shit is not one.

    There are many maintenance-free distros you can use instead. Can I offer you a Debian in these trying times?

    A lot of Chinese phones use Snapdragon, so you can rest easy knowing Chinese companies don’t have access to your location or some other bullshit

    Meanwhile NSA has their hands so far up your ass you need a guest appearance on The Muppets

    This entire “technological sinophobia” is nothing but the evolution of yellow peril racism
