    Why, instead of safely entering a BIOS setup

    effiency and lawsuits, phones has embedded hardware, its a bit op to have that initial hardware calls for a embedded hardware system.

    BIOS is initally an IBM tech

    _does the cell phone brick when installing the Custom ROM wrongly? _

    Android is based on linux, that includes the partitioned bootloader (mostly grub on linux and fastboot on android, they’re not technically the same but the idea is somewhat related) if that partition is messed up then its most likely not to boot

    Wouldn’t this protection be better for users? I mean, this could be done through ADB.

    Android is owned by a corporation, I dont think that will be their primary objective

    Also, do you think it’s possible that this way of doing things will come to the computer, with ARM hoping to gain a good share of the market and all?

    ARM is mostly a cpu design corporation that offers license fee to other companies to manufacture thier cpu designs, they’re everywhere. It depends on thier licensees what to add to make profit.










  • NCD here lmao

    Why? Because of russia, after CIA found that russia (and its allies) may go full craycray and is not ashamed to show that they have infiltrated US politics.

    If an all out war pulled out and these nutbags decided to target nuclear plants, Then guess what? Nuclear waste is pain to clean, remember fukushima? They cost like 200B USD (probably corrupted, but whatever)

    Take note, these countries returning to monke energy generation (also germany) are US “allies and bussiness partners” and relying on “western monetary system” i hope that make sense now

    Russia has always had a bad beef with japan (1904 war) and germany(almost invaded in ww2), imagine being clapped before and some decades later, got paired with an “ultra nationalist” (facist, if you want me to be direct) leader/s and some of its constituents, then welcome to current russia.
