- Comment on Why don't cell phones have BIOS? 2 months ago:
Cell phones do not have a BIOS like traditional PCs; instead, they use a bootloader, which serves a similar purpose. The bootloader initializes hardware and loads the operating system, but it is specific to each device’s hardware, limiting compatibility with different operating systems. This lack of a standardized BIOS-like system makes it difficult for users to install alternative operating systems and leads to fragmentation in the mobile ecosystem. Manufacturers may avoid implementing a BIOS to reduce costs and maintain control over software updates.

GL.iNet are good ones, or if you want to go the Rambo mode, then an orange pi r1 plus, one of these will do the work. Good luck

what it’s log2ram
Log2Ram is a utility designed to extend the lifespan of storage devices, particularly SD cards in Raspberry Pi systems, by reducing write operations[1][4]. Here’s an overview:
How it works
Log2Ram redirects log files from being written directly to storage (/var/log) to being written to RAM instead[1]. It creates a mount point in RAM for /var/log, so all logs are written to temporary memory (tmpfs) rather than the physical disk[2].
Benefits
-
Extended storage life: By reducing write operations to SD cards or SSDs, Log2Ram helps prolong their lifespan[1][4].
-
Improved performance: Writing to RAM is faster than writing to disk, enhancing system responsiveness[4].
-
Transparency: Applications continue to write logs to /var/log as usual, unaware that it’s now in RAM[1].
Key features
- Configurable RAM allocation for logs (default 40M)[2]
- Daily synchronization of RAM logs to disk via a cron job[1]
- Synchronization on system shutdown to preserve logs[1]
- Optional use of rsync for synchronization[2]
- Compatibility with zram for space-efficient log storage[3]
While Log2Ram offers significant benefits, it’s important to note that logs may be lost in case of unexpected power loss or system crashes before synchronization occurs[3].

Look for log2ram on a LLM.

IDK why you waste time explaining these kind of things to these kind of people mate, I mean someone who define that as a “big crypto scam” doesn’t even know what’s a big crypto scam.

I have years using it a never been crypto scammed for it, about the V3 I truly don’t know apparently you will still be able to turn some V2 extensions like unblock origin but I didn’t see the point of it if the browser include a good adblocker anyway.

I have bought several used hardware at local marketplaces which are working like a charm, it depends if you know about what are you looking for when you buy.
- Comment on Suggestion for buying drive 3 months ago:
My recommendation would be buying a used HDD at a local online marketplace, if you want bang for the buck, if you don’t, then buy a SSD from AliExpress(important to check reviews)
