Capitalism is just feudalism with fancier technology.

Just to make sure it pops off after fully starting up. I run a lot of old hardware, so it’s useful for me. You may not need a delay.

I actually edited my comment right as you were responding. It’s definitely broken in some distros, I think debian/ubuntu.

When all else fails…

crontab -e

@reboot sleep 300 && sudo ./myshell.sh

(this is actually broken on some distros)

Genuinely the best use of this meme format ever.

Yes, you should be concerned!

I’m pretty sure that’s a premium service you pay a monthly fee to access. You’ll want to shut it off immediately to not incur extra charges to your BMW account.

I always somehow miss when it stops working and by the time I go to YouTube again it’s already working again.

Yeah, COVID was an excuse for a lot of companies to kill their customer service departments and make their automated systems even worse.

Management: Fuck it, ship it.

The people at the top honestly don’t give a fuck if it barely works as long as it’s an excuse to cut costs. In things like Customer Service, barely working is a bonus, because it makes customers give up before they try to get their issue solved.

How is that even legal to sell that without CC…

I thought the proliferation of touchscreens and screen readers was enough to show that regular society doesn’t give a flying fuck about the needs of the disabled?

A braille terminal costs a cool couple thousand bucks, so what’s a poor blind person to do? Get stuck using a fucking smartphone and screen readers.

Like even the equivalent of an Amazon Kindle for blind people is $700. A Kindle isn’t cheap, but holy fuck, it’s not $700, it’s more like $150.

It’s obscene and makes me sad.

Thanks for the pointers.

I need my Samoas.

Metal nerds used to just cut themselves when they wanted to needlessly suffer, now they program in java.

Seriously though this is well-written and executed (yuk yuk), quite funny.

They’d blame us for being sad about our lives being treated as chattel and blame us for being angry that life or death decisions are being made on a whim to fatten someones pocketboot to the end of time.

History has shown over and over and over again, they will do everything to alienate themselves from the violence they are committing against the populace, and act like that violence is somehow a side effect consequence of what they do, and not a deliberate act of denying needed care. The opulent ownership class have done it countless times throughout history, they will deny it and be confused by our moral indignation with what they do until they very end, sadly.

If that’s the case then I bet this would work with older phones using microusb

Since it claims to be built for a Raspberry Pi. All my older devices are still microusb.

For sure, this isn’t against PostmarketOS. PMOS is fine. It’s rather if I’m trying to set up Docker on a phone, I’d rather find a way that’s… less limiting on what hardware can be used.

The main suggestion I would have in regards to using the battery as a UPS:

If you want the battery to last a long time, you need to figure out how long it takes for it to charge and discharge, and set up an outlet timer (either a manual one or a zigbee operated one) so that the outlet the phone is plugged into turns on just long enough for the battery to charge, and then turns off just long enough for it to discharge, with the aim to keep it in the 30% to 80% charged range.

Otherwise you’re just always charging the battery and significantly reducing it’s life and ability to be a UPS.

I just use these, I have a few old phones set up as a surveillance system. I’ve never tried an external ethernet dongle because unless you search for a special connector cable, you can’t charge the phone and have it plugged into ethernet at the same time.

Requires PostmarketOS which only has less than 30 phones it’s available for, many of which are very old (Samsung Galaxy S III??? Where would you even find one of these anymore?) and out of the list of less-than-thirty at least five of them don’t offer full support, only partial.

The newest Pixel phone you can use is a Pixel 3a.

Yeah I think I’ll pass on something that requires PostmarketOS.
