Seriously.

I don't care what country this nonsense happens in... Be respectful of places. I mean, you're there enjoying it because other people respected it, so now you're gonna fuck it up for whoever comes after you?

Selfish ass.

Yep, a break from being wrapped up tightly a bunch of times

Bingo!

Proper termination can be a bitch.

Damn. Bastards.

Tells us all we need to know though.

LTSC costs, wish I could convince more clients to spend the money. A 10 year license!

Great writeup, I really appreciate it, especially the point about locking the bootloader and isolation - it's all about the threat model of a user.

It's annoying, frustrating, and most of all, disappointing that we get just noise between these projects, rather than mutual respect with clarification of the differences, and the different use-cases, for them. Instead we get adversarialism because some people think only their way is the right way (such as this post).

I run Lineage on a couple devices that can't get any thing else. Some people on the Graphene side would (and have) chastised me for running an "insecure" rom. Well, I know my risks, and the value I get from this device, and I mitigate my risks through layered security (as all risks are) - I'm addressing my threat model.

The issue with the Graphene team is they have the stereotypical, arrogant, condescending attitude of tech people.

I've been that tech person at one time in my career, and got it trained out of me by good leadership decades ago.

The crap they've said, to me (not something I heard second hand), while asking for help was such a major turn off (and in my help desk career would've had them in for re-training), that I gave up on using Graphene. Their attitude was looking for ways to blame me instead of trying to determine why things were misbehaving.

What if I had a true, difficult issue later, this is what I'd have to deal with? I had dismissed the reports I'd read about the team, until I experienced it first hand.

So no thanks. Graphene is dead to me now...I will never... Let me repeat that NEVER use or recommend the system to anyone, unless the team changes. And that's a damn shame, because I really wanted to use it on my phones going forward, and even bought Pixels specifically to use Graphene.

Well said.

You fix the problem, not mask it.

Looks like the foam expanded and pushed the cabinet away from the wall.

Cut the foam back so the cabinet can rest where it belongs, and keep your friends away from spray foam.

Quote from a (carpenter) friend of mine

Or a self-hoster with a server rack

Yep, or all us self-hosters. I have a 200 watt machine that comes on at specified times to run Backups.

Then there's solar and batteries. Grow operations could setup a battery farm that charges slowly from the grid so it never shows a spike, and run everything off the batteries.

It's expensive, but solves the issue

Yep, most laptops have a different capabilities in USB ports, it's always been that way. No need to provide max power on multiple ports, as that would require more hardware on the board, and isn't really useful.

Uggh, so dystopian
