Really? I’ve been told by all my dudes into hardware that AMD is where it’s at for value. Plus, Intel has manufacturing issues. I’m sure there’s good deal out there if you look, but I feel dissonance between this article and what I hear in my circle.

My wife used to love this game! And then her mom started playing.

It’s not just that. Imagine the dependency management trying to hold onto 32 bit compatibility.

7 Days to Die. Just started with a friend group of a decade after I first heard of it. Still buggy!

I remember finding online guides for the first time back in the days of dial up. It was incredible. So many games I had places where I was stuck and you just accepted that you have to figure it out or you just don’t continue the game.

Considering how the open source community is being inundated with low-quality bug reports filed using AI, I don’t have much faith in the tech reviewing code, let alone writing it correctly.

Could it be a useful aid? Sure, but 70% of your reviewing is a pie-in-the-sky pipe dream. AI just isn’t ready for this level of responsibility in any organization.

Google sides with big telecom, taking away control from users in their latest move.

It’s a fun game. Love it. Got me into the card strategy genre.

That’s really cool! You own a piece of history there. That’s not just a phone, but an icon of a time gone by. It’s a testament to the hard work of the people who built that system.

You can pry my 1080 from my cold dead hands.

Aero the Acrobat for GBA.

Cheap Sonic ripoff? I loved that game. Spent many childhood hours and AA batteries playing it and learning every corner of every level.

This is an extremely redundant article to announce an AI demo app.

We’re deporting citizens. The distance between biometrics and passcode is not much legally, because if they want to, they’re going to make you or send you to the gulag.

And even if you tell them, probably still send you to the gulag.

100%. Pin plus fingerprint would be truly excellent in my opinion with minimal inconvenience.

I wonder if there’s a technical argument to not doing this – it’s harder for attacks to potentially change the setting if it isn’t a setting.

They cannot take back the open license code. Only the future work is closed.

Glory to Arstotzka!

Short people are still people and can be CEOs of game company.

Pixel 6 is one such a device that does this. I replied with a link to a different comment, but not reproducing here to avoid the perception of spamming links.

I’d recommend you consider if you actually need to re-lock the boot loader. It’s a great way to turn a device into a brick. There are a few apps that don’t work with an unlocked boot loader but most will be fine. My bank for example is really annoying and complains. There is a risk that if you try to lock the boot loader after a downgrade your device may simply not start anymore and you’ll lose access to be able to flash or unlock the boot loader again.

It’s not supposed to get stuck like that, but I’m telling you from personal experience that not all vendors are great about handling this situation. Most people never attempt to install third-party firmware, and you’re not really supposed to be able to downgrade.

Good luck!

Generally speaking this is not reversible. Many phones specifically blow fuses in the device to make sure that attempts to downgrade will fail for security reasons. They don’t want someone stealing the phone and somehow tricking it into downgrading in order to extract its content using a security vulnerability that existed in an earlier version.

With that said, if you can get your hands on the ROM Or at least one of the version you require, you could unlock the device and flash whatever you want. You may not be able to re-lock the boot loader however for the aforementioned reason. If you can that would be a device-specific thing.

It looks like older stock firmwares are available online by unofficial sources. You can decide if you trust those enough to attempt to downgrade.

Lovely! I’ll be happy to upload pages and pages, whole books full of AI generated garbage.

It’s very sad. We’re going lose a lot of great employees with tons of experience. This is going to cost to taxpayers in the form of poor services and contractors down the road filling in for more money and with less experience.

These buffoons understand very little, and neither do they understand the value of hard work and what it’s like needing to earn a living. This grandstanding is reckless.

It saddens me when hard-working employees are punished for bad leadership.

I don’t understand the naming convention. It’s not clear to me which is supposed to be the new console, as someone who is not thoroughly informed on the matter, and I think that is a marketing mistake.

More devices need replaceable batteries. My phone where that thing is glued in the device and can rip the screen apart trying to remove it? That’s unacceptable. Just make the battery a proper maintenance item.

I’ve played each game and they are all awesome.

It’s for the best. The series deserves better than live service.

It’s the built-in PDF reader as part of the browser. I’m not aware that it has any name.

This did not work on my iPhone. Instead there’s just an empty white box in the upper left-hand corner of the page.

It was just amazing to hang out and focus on playing a game deeply for 24 straight hours with my two closest friends. Can’t recall otherwise being so pleased with how I spent my time.

24 hour Civ 5 marathon with beer and the boys in my college days.

My friend is a connoisseur, and he says both the quantity and quality has been declining this year.

I would expect it to show up as some kind of USB device on Linux, but alas. I’m starting to think she might be dead because I found a few cases like yours in the HP support forums where they concluded there must be hardware problem.

There might be a way to restore firmware from here:

But aside from that, I think I’m out of further ideas.

One online source suggests holding power and vol up will get off that logo screen. I’m not sure though.

Interesting. Do you have it plugged into something that might be putting it in some kind of file transfer mode? I think this logo is different from the usual vendor logo. I also wonder if maybe this is your recovery mode and it doesn’t offer a GUI. This doesn’t seem to match screenshots that I can find online regarding the recovery mode of this tablet.

We could also try to talk to it over USB via fastboot, but that might be hairy and may still not lead anywhere.

Thanks for the info. It looks like user might have a shot at recovering the device but I don’t see how they’d get data recovery from this position.

Recovery sounds promising! Let’s see what happens.

I don’t claim to be an expert by any means but it’s better than a logo screen.
