Until Android 12 or 13 alternative stores couldn't update apps automatically in the background. And you still need to click "install" for new apps, which isn't the case with Google Play.

When undervolting with an offset, most of the crashes I had were when the CPU state changed. Opening a browser and playing a video from idle, starting a transcode, stuff like that. The only way to test is, unfortunately, to use it until it

Still, there should be a mechanism to avoid bringing up the same issue every year or two. Maybe 5 or 10 years.

A lot of good articles on HN get reposted to Lobsters, why should the inverse not also be the case sometimes?

LineageOS recently included the patch to finally allow signature spoofing for microG. I don't think they're actively hostile and there are obviously people who support it. Afaik Lineage for microG is independent of the microG proj

He hasn't needed them the last 10 years so he can probably hold out 10 more years.

NeoStore can do that as well. It doesn't require root, it's simply an option.

Microg.org is correct. The official f-droid client won't care about the signatures, but this is a known issue with 3rd party stores like NeoStore. https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store/issues/564

You have to add the microg repo. F-droid used to have microg, but it was causing issues in the past.

The microg_installer_revived module isn't necessary anymore if you're using a build from within the last month. The Lineage folks finally implemented signature spoofing for microg, simply downloading it from the official website o

Newer versions of microg (I think from 0.28 onwards) are rewriting the location stack and remove the UnifiedNLP interface. Currently only Mozilla Location Services is built into the new stack.

Official builds before this could still be made to work with microg using the "microg installer revived" Magisk module. That's how I installed it on my current phone while still getting the benefits of more regular updates.

I've had success using my AMD GPU with the OpenCL backend for llamacpp. The ROCm backend had pretty bad performance though.

Not sure when they added it, but there's a "wimboot" mode that works for Windows isos. Just used it last week without issue.
