I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • I can do all that with my X1 Carbon which isn’t much thicker than an M1 Air. It’s got the same two USB-C / Thunderbolt ports but also has full-size HDMI, 2xUSB A, and wired headphones.

    It seems like Apple’s main method of innovation is finding new ways to get people to buy $29.99 dongles over and over again.

    They like to make things appear sleek until you actually have to use them. All that sleekness goes out the window as soon as someone hands you flash drive and you have to break out a dock.

















  • I think OEM, non-carrier OnePlus phones do (someone correct me if I’m wrong or out of date). I just setup Lineage 21 on a OnePlus Nord N200 (ca 2021) and after enabling bootloader unlock in developer settings, I just had to pass the oem unlock command to fastboot. The carrier-branded ones require you to go through the unlock code request, and those take a minimum of one week (and can be cockblocked by the carrier for whatever reason).

    There may be some kind of Android check, though, because the “Allow OEM Unlock” developer option was greyed out until I connected the phone to wifi for a few minutes. Not sure what that’s about, but it’s common for most/all android devices. I don’t know of any device that lets you unlock the bootlaoder without first enabling that in dev options.
