AI can speed up a lot of the manual labour needed to bring even an almost dead, 10-year-old device back to life. My Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) was dead. With AI help and my own knowledge, I ported/rewrote the missing drivers, and it now runs Nura (postmarketOS) with working camera, torch, SIM, phone calls and SMS. Only the loudspeaker is still broken.

Everything is up for anyone who wants to install it, or to understand the changes and manually write the patches for mainline: https://github.com/sv1sjp/mi-max2-oxygen-msm8953-nura-drivers Testing, feedback and PRs welcome.

    One of the issues there is that I will most likely not recognise them by the time they get there, due to all of the other zombies/crypto-bros/trash, many of whom are clearly frequenting this sub now.

    "Everyone who disagrees with me is a lesser person"

    Idealists' favourite coping method

    No coping, "idealist" is not the slur you think it is, and it isn't even relevant to this.

    ai is owned and controlled by really dodgy people. If you watch videos of jensen huang, sam altman, alex karp, elon musk etc, and don't see anything wrong, you are what is wrong. trump is a huge fan...

    You are the only person who is to blame for your lack of standards.

    Idealism is not a slur, but the philosophy that liberalism is built on. It posits that reality is shaped by people's ideas in their brains.

    This leads to all sorts of horrifying stuff:

    1. People try to make their lies reality by trying to force other people to believe them.

    2. People dehumanize people who disagree with them since only human's ideas are the ones that supposedly shape reality.

    3. Whenever the idealists' ideas don't become reality, instead of questioning their ideology, they can just blame everyone who disagreed with them, for "bending reality the other way".

    "Idealism is not relevant to this discussion"

    proceeds to use purely idealist arguments

    You clearly wouldn't know an ideal if you walked into one.

    Set your bar a little higher.

    You should maybe learn the meaning of words before trying to use them, idealism does not mean "having ideals". Idealism is the counterpart to materialism, and has been explained to you in another comment. But sure, that's one way to respond, I guess.

    "You should maybe learn the meaning of words before trying to use them"

    ironic, but no one expects logic, or honesty from aiholes
