I bought one used and it had a messed up USB port, which became unusable over time. The other got bricked after a LineageOS update. Bootloader inaccessible. I tried taking it apart to get the usb port out of it for the other phone but botched the job, which is incredibly delicate considering the back of the phone is glass. Turns out you can access the bootloader if you wait until the battery goes completely to zero. So I could probably get that phone going again if I don’t care that it doesn’t have a back anymore.

What’s cool is we’ll soon be propping these shitbags up with tax money, so the whole thing doesn’t go bankrupt.

i have two oneplus 6 phones right now, and two more that are broken. One working one has android, the other will get lineageos. when lineage is stable might migrate the android one to nixos. Nixos is pretty obscure but it helps to have people banging on distros and filing bugs.

Brand has been dead to me for a while. Used to be hacker friendly, but now why should I care.

my org uses Nextcloud. Its possible to set up folders that are read-only. We have a ‘secretary’ folder and a ‘file drop’ folder. The secretary is read-only except for the current secretary. The file drop any user can put files in, but only the secretary can edit or delete them.

We drop files (like signed contracts) into the ‘file drop’, and the secretary (a person!) moves them into the secretary folder which is visible to all users, but read only.
