It's not hard at all. The real problem is that like 90% of hardware makers don't allow you to unlock your bootloader. And every year it becomes less and less common. Chinese phones used to be amazing, because you could just slap a good clean rom on amazing hardware. Nowadays (due to pressure by the ccp from what I gather) most of them do not allow bootloader unlocking anymore. Or they allow it only using insane requirements (100+ day active user in good standing on their Chinese support forum, only 100 unlocks/day, first come first served at 1am Beijing time, etc etc...)
And without an unlocked bootloader, you can do jack shit with your phone. Hence why pixel phones are so liked for custom roms. They unlock straight out of the box, no questions asked, no weird hoops to jump through.
How vivaldi isn't more popular with tech users that want to use chromium totally eludes me. The browser is super moddeable and the devs have so far been nothing but super open and correct to their community. I don't think there's been a single vivaldi "scandal" of note. It literally opera before that went down the drain, and is a better browser on top.
The whole "it's not open source" mantra has also been thoroughly addressed.
Also don't get me started on the brave love. It feels astroturfed. I do not get how you can genuinely shill that browser...
The 6 months a year dad was home (sailor) somewhere between a - 5 and a 2. The 6 other a solid 8+ (not because of being spoiled, but just general happiness and joy)
He never hit us, but he verbally abused my mom and sister and was/is just in general a miserable cunt that ruins other people's days. I'm glad he only retired when my siblings and I were basically out of the house for good.
Tried to get my mom to leave him when we all had the finances to support her, but she stayed with him. Living basically 90% separate lives in the same house. Only hate and despise in that house left.
I ran Ubuntu and arch on it. The lag is noticeable even in Firefox with just 5-6 tabs open. 8GB ram and an ssd. Open multiple apps and it becomes very very noticeable.
Audio, sure, I have no experience with that, no argument from me there.
But you claimed your vintage cpu is enough for most people. Most people ain't audio engineers. Most people would immediately notice a smoothness difference between an m1 max and your vintage cpu. There is no way you don't notice a difference in (non audio maybe) regular browsing (not just one tab, but many) and multitasking, stop lying to win a useless internet argument.
I still doubt it would be a pleasant experience. I only do office type work on the n150 device. It's still laggy AF compared to any modern mid-range cpu. (eg my i5 (?) 8600 at home, which is also already of respectable age, is a lot smoother for non-gaming use.)
But I guess your point (partially) stands, Johnny granddad won't notice when he checks the news and weather in the morning.
It'll run most indies and triple A game from 6-7y ago.
It'll be a real bottle neck for recent games. And especially for the only game that truly matters, rimworld.
I am running an n150 on a secondary mini pc. On paper it's twice as fast as your cpu. It drives me crazy how slow it can be at times when running multiple tabs or apps at the same time. You're delusional if you think your cpu is still up to snuff in 2025
Which is kinda funny, because from what I gather, it's even less private than some of the large social networks. (everyone can see everything vs one entity sees everything, but no one else).
If you don't think about privacy, they are not worth it anymore imo. Used to run custom roms on everything, but galaxy OS (or w/e it's called) and pixel OS do everything you might want and more. Custom roms don't add anything anymore.
On a Chinese device though, I will always install a custom rom if I can. Unfortunately it's getting really hard or even impossible to unlock bootloader on most devices from China :(. They have amazing hardware, but shit software.

Born on January first 1900. Undefined gender.
Yeah, don't answer truthfully. My favorite food has been a waterslide for ages.
Fuck epic games, but I was happy I didn't have to buy it a second time on steam to play it with my kid.
I'm just contemplating to get the mobile version of Subnautica.
But can I still buy the OG subnautica?

I didn't say you can't game on it. You just can't claim it can keep up with modern cpus.
I still doubt it would be a pleasant experience. I only do office type work on the n150 device. It's still laggy AF compared to any modern mid-range cpu. (eg my i5 (?) 8600 at home, which is also already of respectable age, is a lot smoother for non-gaming use.)

Yeah no, calling cap on that.

Hong Kong turned out totally fine after that went back to China right? So much freedom of speech and movement over there now.
Most of Taiwan? /doubt
Back that up with some proof and polls from neutral (non ccp or US) sources
Signed it. Can't believe I completely missed this petition.
There are plenty of weird dinos. Just as there are plenty bonkers contemporary animals. Nature is wild :D
You can also see where the lip muscles attach to the jaw.
The memes that our current Dino images are wrong are very outdated. Our images are probably surprisingly close to reality.
Just to be pedantic, that one most likely never made it to space, it most likely just disintegrated.
Do you have any proof of that? Can't find anything about a second try.
