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.
You said the forbidden word. How dare you!
HUZZAH!!!
any information on how you did it? Like what the setup was, what you asked the ai to do, etc. With the video game fusions people have been doing using claude lately I’ve become interested in AI for cutting out the most tedious, life wasting parts of reverse engineering but I haven’t seen examples involving hardware
Good work !
Can ai get past the AT&T fuckery on my galaxy s5 active?
Can’t the ai trash just f*ck back off to windows, apple, and google where they belong?
Nura is an anti ai distro
You don’t have to use it? 🤷♀️
It’s not that simple, even if you are.
Explain it to me like I’m five
Sure, let me know when you get there.
Very considerate of you to await him at the destination.
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.

If AI makes Linux on modern phones actually achievable I’d be very happy
The Chinese are going to save us once again? I never thought I would root for fucking China vs US in my life.
Depending on what you mean by saving us, I don’t think China will, but they’re not invading random countries, staging coups, droning civilians, etc, so these two countries are not even remotely comparable.

China is an imperialist force in East Asia
According to western media, thinktanks and commentators comfortably sitting and circlejerking in the imperial core, yes.
It is destroying every non-Han culture and religious expression within the CCP controlled areas.
Easily disproved by random travel bloggers that travel China e.g. Xinjiang and Tibet

No. They may be dishonest, but that doesn’t mean they will have to lie about every single thing. And it is not just westerners, but also South Koreans, Japanese and SEAsians too.

Carefully chosen and curated. Why is Chinese Muslim content only food and never religious sermons? Where are the Christians preaching their beliefs? Where are the children studying the Quran and the Bible?
No it is not just westerners
Names western aligned vassal states
Ok
Asks questions because they are uninformed

The most visible sign of protection of Uyghur culture by the government is the government-run bilingual kindergarten schools where children learn Putonghua as well as Uyghur language and culture from a very young age.”
