Today I proudly present: the world’s messiest USB “Cereal” debug cable for my Google Pixel 4a, time to figure out touchscreen for #postmarketOS

@BigHeadMode @cinimodev
That cable talks to the GSC/Cr50 (from what I remember Cr50 is just the firmware name) chip, so if it has a write protect screw, that’s not present, the screw controls the write protect status instead, so you’ll need to remove the write protect screw to get at the AP firmware

Also I doubt you’ll need to remove the firmware write protect screw for postmarketOS, given it builds a boot image compatible with the stock firmware and bootloader

Ah yes, the LGB without the T "movement". I remember hearing something a while back about it being heavily (if not entirely) astrot(u/e)rfed by organizations like the so-called "heritage foundation" (those Project 2025 folks), among others (however I can't actually find a concrete source for that at this moment)

This Week in Plasma brings the news that Plasma 6.6 lets you set the priority of processes using a friendly graphical window, in 6.7 the "Brightness and Color" widget comes with a toggle to quickly switch between light and dark modes, and Frameworks 6.23 improves the touch-friendliness of open/save dialogs.

@jessebot My personal guess would be that it'll land in the stable kernel releases sometime within a couple months, but do not take my word for that. Also, keep in mind that fairydust is very much unstable as I noticed in my machine muvm was rendered completely nonfunctional after compiling and installing it (however I personally value the 120hz far too much, so I have elected to not revert back to a stable kernel)
@jessebot Also, the new experimental fairydust kernel branch enables 120hz (and VRR) alongside USB-C display out, so two of the four issues should be resolved relatively soon (and can be resolved immediately if you want to just compile and use the fairydust kernel).
@jessebot It's pretty nice, typing this reply from nearly that exact model of machine (with only 16GB of RAM) on Asahi Fedora (43). I do miss Touch ID and 120hz on Asahi, but I personally prefer (GNU/)Linux over macOS to the point where I'm willing to give them up
