The GrapheneOS installation process is exceptionally easy to follow. It’s much faster and easier than the old Cyanogenmod days.
That is comforting to hear.
As for whether or not I can flash a custom ROM, if the boot loader is locked, then I’m SOL, right? (hence your original comment)
I wanna run GrapheneOS, so thanks for the heads up.
Based on reviews, the listing in my OP looks like a mixed bag—some reviewers complaining that the boot loader is locked (hence they cannot flash a custom ROM onto it), others complaining that it’s unlocked (hence a security risk)—so if I get this phone, I guess it’s up to chance whether the bootloader is locked or not. 🤞🏻
I see. Thanks for clarifying.
Gotcha, and then is the protocol to just sell it back at the end of the trip?
Gotcha, so would you say this comes down to buying from a reputable store (e.g. Best Buy)?
Not strictly necessary, but being able to carry all my ISOs on a single USB key saves me from having to redo the whole USB Stick Writer thingy every time. Is there another tool out there that does this and makes it easy for the plebs like myself?
OP did not specify a platform, so let’s hear ‘em.
Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.
I dunno at what school this photo was taken, but in my day, it was not uncommon for students in dorms to have mini whiteboards on their doors so people could leave messages (often in the form of specific private body parts). Mind you, I went to school before everybody had iPhones.
What I believe we’re looking at here is a photo of somebody’s (presumably Joseph Silva’s) door with a mini whiteboard and someone’s (again presumably Joseph Silva’s) contact info, which happens to be a Lemmy user.
The key word here is Lemmy, which would explain why OP shared this photo on !fediverse@lemmy.world.
30% its [sic] in the title
Right, but I don’t see anything in the title or the article itself about 30% being “sufficient.” To the contrary, the article quotes Sarah Brown, energy think tank Ember’s European program director:
The EU is “very much on the way” to its goal of having renewable sources account for 72 per cent of power generation by 2030.
This article is a celebration of a milestone that was crossed for the first time, no mention of 30% being sufficient. You’re assigning meaning that’s not there.
Who the helll [sic] thought a minority of renewables sufficient?
Where are you getting this from?
Do you get high def Netflix? I’ve read in multiple places that Netflix limits streams to 720p in web browsers, which has always stopped me from straying from my chromecast. Not sure if that’s what I’m seeing in your photo, though. (basically I have the same question as OP)
Interesting read. Thanks for posting.
In general, I downvote content with shitty or incomplete titles.
OP answered this in another comment: They are getting prompted to sign up for Ubuntu Pro whenever they upgrade.
Since you chose Linux Mint—good choice btw—something to keep in mind is that Mint is based on Ubuntu. While you’re learning and searching the interwebs for how to do x, y, and z, if you don’t find an article or guide specifically about Mint, try searching the same phrase replacing “mint” with “ubuntu.” There’s far more content out there about Ubuntu than Mint, but since Mint is based on Ubuntu, 9 times out of 10 the same solution on an Ubuntu forum works in Mint.
Good luck!

Yup, I agree - thanks for chiming in.
Thanks for sharing your story, this helps.
I had not considered that. Thanks for the tip.
