As much as I want to agree to this, a part of me screams “STOP FANBOYING CORPORATIONS”

Lemme tell you a short story about bait and switch

We all know that android is a collaboration of companies to have an open handset ecosystem (which is weird, because these are companies driven for profit)

one of these companies is quallcomm, they were so nice that they released an open source “bridge” for devs to thier hardware called codeauroraforums

Thier marketshare grew and the performance of thier hardware were miles ahead the competition

Then it came when these “subpar” and cheaper semicons caught up on thier performance and also…covid happened

it shrank quallcomms earnings, made them to make some “decisions” and one of them is killing codeauroraforums, switched thier “opensource” stuff to codelinaro in which, all of the hardware supported are devkits of thier struggling snapdragon x

In addition to these decisions to increase earnings, they also made a deal with microsoft to make laptop chipsets (just like what apple did. Unfortunately, barebone windows on arm is different from windows on snapdragon unlike apple with thier walled garden wherein they’ve designed thier chips inhouse)

now they’re finger pointing who’ll support that thing, lmao

So…uhm…yea, stop fanboying corporations and thank you for listening to my ted talk

btw AMD is cool with linux…for now

Thanks, I think I got 24awg cca before I swapped them to pure copper, and now I also think, I wanna re crimp all of my connectors using staggered ones lol

Also learned this the hard way, when i was starting my “homelab” , I bought a box of (not knowingly that its bad) cheap CCA(copper clad alum) cat6 cables and im wondering why are my access points not negotiating to gigabit, turns out cca are trash and shouldn’t be used on POE or even on high speed trunks, learned my lesson now and swapped my cables to pure copper, they are more expensive like 100$ more expensive but at least they do the job.
