just did a very painful 2230 1tb+2tb ssd purchase, around 40 of each for reform nexts, to at least have something to ship in early 2026. i hope there won't be another doubling of prices :/

anyone tried TripleU MDM on fairphone? recently telegram forced in-app browser on android which is pretty nasty... (no adblock and could accidentally leak credentials). i should probably get off telegram soon anyway (but that's hard because it would probably kill off my last remaining […]

as an experiment, wrote some custom profiles for tuned / tuned-ppd to control GPU frequency/governor and CPU governor explicitly on RK3588/panthor/MNT Reform (Next). please note that the FPS are not representative because screen recording slows the machine […]
