  • I already tried to swap circuit boards in identical Seagate ide drives and not only it worked to recover the data but technically that windows 98 PC still boots today (I turn it on once a year because I have a very old SCSI film scanner that doesn’t work with newer stuff)

    You should try the experience, I used ddrescue to create an image






  • Should be the bare minimum

    I stopped buying Xiaomi because they switched from “monthly updates for years to come” (until around mi 5-6) to “a single update in the phone lifetime, if you’re lucky” (RIP those idiots who purchased an expensive mix 3 5g and never saw any update) passing from “we gonna push ota updates without testing, you might softbrick LOL”

    Although is understandable because they churn out 1 new phone every week, I guess it’s extremely tiring compiling and testing software for all those variants /s

    They copy everything from the iPhone, they don’t copy the best part. Just three new models every year, updates for years. Why the opposite? People is going to lose track of what’s better between the mi 13s pro x and the Redmi note 16x pro 5g. Especially when you add more chaos by rebadging that Redmi as poco x33 pro 5g but changing some bits here and there to make software incompatible











  • of course. We, the 1% of technical people on lemmy, we know it. General people only know that apple innovates first, the rest are bad copycats. In general, everything becomes incredibly popular only after apple implements it.

    Emoji, nfc payments, third party keyboard, copy and paste, widgets, internet browsers that aren’t a skin of the system browser, wireless charging, 4k video recording it’s all stuff that come to android years or decaded before apple, yet the average people is always thinking that apple is first





  • Shareholders present at the company’s annual meeting Thursday, held at Tesla’s Texas gigafactory, cheered and gave a standing ovation when general counssel Brandon Ehrhart announced the results of the vote. The margin of victory was not immediately clear.

    “I just want to start off by saying: Hot damn, I love you guys,” Musk said as he leapt around on the stage Thursday. “I think we’re not just opening a new chapter for Tesla, we’re starting a new book.”

    Can’t imagine how much a Elon fanboy those shareholders are. “Yay!!! Let’s give billions of shares to the craziest billionaire in the world! Surely he won’t dump them to pay that xitter fiasco, surely the price won’t crash, we’re going to raise more value on an already overvalued company”
