Volume keys on my Redmi Note 7 just went dead.

What should I do?

@danct12
Keep that Note 7 going! Failing that, the Redmi Note 9 Pro is good with UBports and Droidian, but they still require you to wait a week to unlock the bootloader on it.

Regarding the found Pentium 1 PC: the HDD light was turning on for a few seconds, but I was getting no video out, so having no POST card (already ordered it), I resorted to good old blind RAM removal, and hey, we got issues, but we got video!

It might be marginally less effort to put the same thing in multiple locations and then just spit out the array in sequence? Idk, I'm not this low-level. Yet.

Day 4 of attempting to daily drive postmarketOS Linux on a OnePlus 6T:

📶 I felt brave this morning, so I handed over my SIM card to Linux. At first, the phone didn't recognise the card, but the wiki page helped me resolve the problem quickly. I had to increase the config value sim_wait_time and reboot the phone to make it work. Mobile data and receiving texts work flawlessly. I haven't tried sending texts and making calls yet.

⏰ Yesterday, I also used the Clock app to set an alarm to wake up and a timer when cooking, and it actually worked fine, even with the phone locked.

🚈 I also had my train ticket checked today. I was able to present the QR code without any issues.

A few more posts like this and I might buy one. (The 6T, not the wife.)

@fell
I have an OG Pinephone (and it mostly just sits in its box and sometimes goes to a conference), but the 6T's specs are definitely... a tad higher, and if PMOS works that well, it seems to be worth it.

"It is possible to make it appear that memory is organized in little-endian format, even though it is maintained by a microprocessor that is inherently big-endian, such as the PowerPC processor. This effect is desirable, for example, when Windows NT runs on a PCI-based Power Macintosh computer, because Windows NT requires memory to appear to be little-endian."

  • Apple documentation : Designing PCI Cards and Drivers for Power Macintosh Computers, Revised Edition (1999-03-26), "Address Swizzling" in Appendix A.

powerpc NT was dead for two years by this point???
