So, I have two very old tablets (circa 2014), one I will repurpose for being just an e-reader and maybe media player and the other one idk yet, but probably an e-reader with nothing else since it's very small.

Now, none of them support google or most pages properly. Is there any way I can download things? The way you in a computer terminal can do a sudo--- and get things from internet into your device. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to jailbreak it or smth but I don't mind, I just want to know how can I get the most out of that tablet, I don't expect it to work netflix. Just a browser that's half decent and maybe an app for something I could need (like one to calibrate the screen since it's not a function it has natively and it is a problem it's having).

For now I've thought of downloading an apk in a computer and then move it inside the tablet from there and then install it, but I'm sure there must be a better way.

They both run on Android ice cream sandwich, 🍨 4.04 the most recent, if there's any way to update it to 4.1 I'd be very grateful but I'm assuming that's something the hardware isn't able to? It's the version I need to work my favourite book reader in there.

I can't tell the android version of one of them because the touch screen doesn't work properly, i need to change it. Both of them have been factory reset.

I don't mind getting some light linux distribution and slapping into that bad boy if that means it'll work better, if a friend could install it to his switch so can I. Maybe making a partition or smth idc I just want to make these boys live to their full potential.

I will save the screen for future projects I still plan on building a cyberdeck this summer or when the time comes.

proxmox-official

Sort of! You have a few options actually!

You can install a 3rd party app store like fdroid or aurora.

Or you can download the apk files (think exe files but for android) that you can install by either using adb from your computer to your phone (wired or wireless, pick your poison) or using a USB cable!

firedeva

For more urgent needs I'm going to just download the apk's (for the calibration thing and a browser, I've heard of Silk browser for older android, if you know of a better option I'm all ears). But having a proper app store sounds good, so I'll be checking them both out when I get into it again, thank you!!

I know most places for apk's are giving me so much malware tho

So, that last part is funny: I don't have an adb (it's the first time I've heard of it too xd) AND the port for connection through usb doesn't work, probably because of it's age, plus, the device doesn't even have bluetooth options. What I'm doing for files is grabbing an SD card and moving it from laptop to tablet lol

proxmox-official

No worries about not having adb. I'd honestly recommend it, you can install it or even just web webadb in a chromium browser. If you have a computer you can install localsend which will peer2peer send files to/from whatever devices are running it on your network!

Also for apks, uhhh apk mirror is pretty good or apkpure are the two I use!

Also also for the love of God use an adblocker

I know it's not a fair comparison due to differences in memory management, but it's still crazy how Linux Mint uses half the RAM Windows does on idle, and CachyOS uses half of that.

I tell you what now I have Dispatcharr setup and working I can't beleive it used to just fucking raw dog my iptv streams

proxmox-official

if the copyright holding overlords didn't take down the domains every fucking month I wouldn't mind but ugh updating every device to the new domain is a pain in the ass

Using dispatcharr I can just update it there and every client can pull from there so no need to update across all the devices!

proxmox-official

Also idk if anyone uses IPTV on here but I've been looking around for a new provider and god damn I'm getting ripped off 😭

proxmox-official

For reference I've been paying around 9£ a month but I've been looking on z2a and I, can find the same level of service from the same upstream provider for like £4

Which means that I, can get 2 subs for the price of one if this goes well

proxmox-official

what doing 2 EPG refreshes does to a mf (2.5 million global channel search go brrr)

proxmox-official

im tired boss

proxmox-official

okay so i took a nap and it finally finished when i woke up 3 hours later so it only took like 4 hours to refresh that many channels 9im having to rebuild my channel library library)

now ive enabled the second source and im merging the streams with a plugin to do the work for me. journalctl logs say it should be 4 hours till its done so i guess im gonna take another nap and will report back.

proxmox-official

lets fucking go lads!!!!!

proxmox-official

okay so the matching is kind of hit and miss :(

i think i might just have two sources and keep one for myself and one for everyone else

proxmox-official

so i was digging in the setting and turns out that i didnt change the naming scheme to exact so i need to do it all over again aaaa

proxmox-official

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

proxmox-official

it even works with VOD and tv baybeeeee

proxmox-official

In today's episode of iptv fuckery, I ran a plug in that proves the streams to determine thing like fps, resolution, bitrate etc and after running it for 18 hours I realised the ffprobe location was /usr/bin/ffprobe but /usr/local/ffprobe so now I get to run it and wait again (but with it working this time) 🫠😔 🙃

proxmox-official

ANOTHER fucking update!!!!

Apparently I had an option enabled that checks the failed streams 3 time (see: 3 RUNS of the checker!!) so now I've moved it to 2 so inshallah i wont be waiting for forever for this ish to run. anyways traffic stats for my probes:

proxmox-official

fuck my fucking chungus life bros holy shit

guess ill just fucking die and wait for this bitch to finish

proxmox-official

ITS DONE LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

the dead streams are for events that are not active rn but hell yeah baybeee

working at a grocery store this is something i was so worried would happen, i cant stop someone from trying to feed themselves.

but it literally hasn't happened. people steal fried chicken and pack steaks into a duffel bag. or they have me write on cakes for their coworkers birthday and run out the door with it. they eat chicken and dump the bones on a shelf they pay for the rest of their "groceries".

i've never once seen anyone steal bread, or fruit, or vegetables, or cold chicken

crabs-in-a-trench-coat

Same

We have free purified water but no they steal soda

anarchistmemedistro

so you’re saying it people are trying to feed themselves

anarchopuppy

How dare poor people eat things they enjoy rather than bland staples, the only thing they deserve

anarchopuppy

A little disappointed that this didn't become a site-wide week-long discourse topic/meme fodder because it's a discussion we're way overdue to have

Like, let's set aside the practical concerns, like how "unhealthy" food has more calories while taking up less bag space, people can't survive on nothing but bread and water, many poor communities are food deserts where fresh food isn't even available to steal, and many people (including the explicitly unhoused man in the meme) don't have a way to prepare frozen chicken. Let's set all that aside, because poor people aren't required to justify every single action to you specifically

Instead let's talk about the sheer undisguised hatred of the poor on display here. "The fried food at the grocery store is for me, because I'm a good special boy with money, if the filthy poors want to steal they can steal the dried gruel powder because that's all they're good enough for. Or they can have meat, I suppose, but only if it's frozen meat that they'll have to go heat up themselves to prove to me that they've earned it. And make sure they grab some raw vegetables that they'll have to chop and cook themselves too, that'll be a good use of their bountiful time and energy. If they wanted not to be miserable, they should have tried not being poor, like me!"

There is literally no justification for this shit. If you believe that stealing bread from a chain grocery store is a justified act that hurts no one, why the fuck would you feel different about steak? Why are you even thinking about this shit? Why are you sitting around fuming at the thought of poor people having anything that makes life worth living? What does it fucking matter to you?

How can you be heartless enough to look at a society where people have to steal in order to feed themselves and their families, and your biggest concern is about policing what they steal?

"They only steal the expensive stuff, then they go and PAY for the cheap stuff???"

Gee I wonder why that would be...

transandrogyny--turtlebug

I wonder why you’ve never seen someone with no house steal raw chicken before. There are just some mysteries that can truly never be solved

ashbelero

For the record, I was homeless for a while - or at least, I lived in a motel by the highway. And luckily I had access to a mini fridge - and it was the kind of motel where people just *lived*, which I discovered when they served Thanksgiving dinner in the lobby to everyone and asked us if we’d like to come down for it. (I cried. A lot.)

That mini fridge was a miracle, but I didn’t have anything like a hot plate or a way to prepare food - just a pot for coffee/hot water. Mostly what I ate was peanut butter and jam sammiches, apples, and lunch meat and cheese if I could get it, because it was expensive. I never got to the point of stealing… but it wasn’t because I thought I was too good to steal. The smell of the fried chicken in the grocery store deli was murder. I just didn’t think I could get away with it.

If I didn’t have that mini fridge or a way to keep my food cold and safe… yeah, I’d probably be stealing that fucking chicken.

So as a retail worker who has five years of experience, I'd like to put my two cents in. While most people advocate stealing if you can't buy food(which I do understand and completely empathize with), you must remember that you aren't just stealing from the corporation, you are in fact stealing from the employees themselves. So many times I've asked for overtime and have been denied it bc our shrink is too high. Ever wonder why there aren't enough cashiers? Cutting hours bc we need to recoup on our shrink. Also, on another note, the things I see people usually steal are high value electronics(like $70 fans, tvs, earbuds), makeup, and like $50+ toys. So while I empathize, please don't steal. You are literally taking money out of employees paychecks, and depending on the corporation itself, you could actually get them fired for not catching when people steal.

anarchistmemedistro

actually very easy to believe some people are shitty

zwoelffarben

@flower884 and everyone else in retail, I'm sorry, but you're misassigning blame here.

The people stealing from your corporate overlords aren't the ones choosing to understaff your workplace, cut your hours, pay you empoverishing wages much less than true value of your labor, nor fire you because they think the store's shrink is too large: Your corporate overlords are the ones doing that and they blaming John val John hoping you and everyone else believes them so you don't organize and demand concessions: and you've swallowed that pill like a potassum supository.

You've been in retail for five years; do some fucking organizing, form a union, fuck your boss's wife, and don't be the snitch that gets John 6 years hard labor for stealing some bread to feed his family.

It's not that hard*, just do what Chris Smalls do: he led a win against Amazon. FUCKING Amazon. Successfully unionizing, or even failing to unionize but scaring the shit out of the corporate overlords that you might succeed will have a lot larger, more positive effect on your material conditions than bitching on the internet about poor people wanting necessary or nice things they can't comfortably afford.

*Don't misunderstand me, it's hard work, organizing. Chris Smalls fought for over two years and a wrongful termination to acheive the win for fellows, but you'll more likely to find success in unionizing even against the most notorious union buster than you are to baulk even one person from theft of either necesity or pleasure on the basis of, in my opinion, a critically flawed moral argument**.

**I view the so-called property rights of corporations as illegitimate***, so 'stealing from a store' is to me morally nonsensical even as I'm forced to recognize its legal reality. The point of this footnote being that I don't think there is anything morally wrong with freely taking what ought be freely available to you, and you'd never convince me against 'shoplifting' using a moral argument, least of all the consequencialist one you're making because, as previously stated, you're misassigning blame. Again, unionize and fuck your boss's wife, yeah?

***As a property abolitionist, I also view a lot of 'property rights of individuals' as illegitimate too, but that's outside the scope of this discussion.

Also; what? It's very sweet, actually, to steal a cake for your coworker 💖

Also-also, corporations have a budget explicitly to handle stolen product. All the poor people stealing food so they can not starve are not running them dry to the point that they have to fire employees. If they were at that point, they would already be shutting down so they didn't go bankrupt.

Tl;dr:

roach-works

i worked at ross dress for less for a year or two. they checked our bags at the end of every shift. a girl was fired for allegedly stealing some makeup.

they made us do half an hour of cleanup after we’d all clocked out or we’d be penalized for not ‘clocking out on time’ but also ‘not finishing facing’. half an hour of work at minimum wage was about 3$, multiplied by 5-8 employees per shift, multiplied by about three shifts. per year. forever.

they’d hammer on and on and ON at us about loss prevention and shrinkage, while skimming off 45$-72$ from their own employees in wage theft. every day. plus the hours of free work managers put in. but whenever we were denied raises or bonuses or pizza rewards or whatever it was always because of ‘all the shrinkage this quarter’ and they’d blame thieves, for their shitty secondhand crap they bought in huge remaindered job lots anyway.

my manager cried in her office once, for a company that extracted hundreds of dollars worth of free work off its employees every month, and then blamed the poor for our abuse.

you’re not being overworked and underpaid because your grocery chain is being robbed blind by filthy savages and fucking walmart or wherever needs to pinch some pennies. your bosses are fucking you over specifically because they can.

anarcho-catboyism

As a retail worker, if you blame other poor people or homeless people for your low wages, you're a fucking bootlicker riddled with propaganda.

A corporation is not a person, the people stealing even expensive things are living, breathing people.

You want to know why people steal non-food items? Because we live in a society that operates on profit. Electronics like TVs and Headphones, expensive jewelry, shitty brand expensive clothing, etc. Are all valuable items that can be sold. That money can go to fresh meals, phone bills, campsite fees or hotel fees, or a common one is Fines, because it's rare to be homeless and not have a cop cite you some bullshit, hundred dollar violation for something like sleeping on a bench, or your car having a missing brake light, and thats if you're lucky and said cop doesn't beat you or steal what you have on you.

Corporations are not people. Corporations are a infinite money glitch cycle so some rich fucks can horde money like fucking Smaug and convince the employees that oh we could pay more if Homeless Susan didn't steal that $25 package of diapers.

If you are a retail worker, you are closer to being that homeless person stealing a bucket of security cameras than to even your District Manager, and yet the rich have you convinced that you are somehow better than your fellow humans.

As a retail worker, you are not allowed to be punished if someone steals in front of you and you don't stop it. In fact, and actual retail workers will tell you this, we are advised to literally let people walk out because if we jump in we could open the Store up for lawsuits or workman's comp claims, so they'd rather eat the shoplift than pay for the medical bills of an employee who got hurt.

And even if you get a talk down from your manager, I'd say that's better than living with yourself knowing you just helped the Cops arrest a starving person who was just trying to get some food, clothes, or money so they could live another day.

Corporations aren't humans, they have no loyalty. That homeless person who just stole a flat-screen is more likely to give you support if you can't pay your rent and find yourself evicted, than a Corporation. A Corporation will not show you the loyalty you show it, a Corporation will throw you on your ass if your performance suffers due to illness, disaster, grief, disability etc. Because a Corporation is. Not. Human. And they will not be there when you fall.

Don't let the King convince you that the peasants are holding him back from paying you better. The only thing holding him back is greed. You will never see a share of his gold that you protect so loyally.

fuck it guess i'll throw my hat in the ring

i work at autozone, and i'm assigned to part sales, which means i'm almost always at a register at the very front of the store. sometimes i'll do other jobs when it's needed, but for the most part, i am at a register, so i get to look at everyone entering and leaving the store. which means that if anybody steals anything, i get to see that, too. autozone of course doesn't sell food, apart from some snacks up by checkout, so anything that people do steal are tools or car parts or fluid.

and when i see somebody pocket a pack of headlights, or a wrench, or a bottle of brake fluid?

i keep my fucking mouth shut instead of being a class traitor.

seriously, nobody WANTS to steal things, more accurately nobody wants to be in the position where they have to steal things. we don't even sell stuff people need to live, and i still shut up about it, because i don't know what they're going through. especially because while you don't need to to fix your car to survive, you do need it to have a half decent existence out here, and if it's got an out headlight you're gonna get pulled over by the state funded terrorist group patrolling the streets and at best they'll suck away half your paycheck in fines, at worst they'll just shoot you dead on the spot when you reach for your id.

"well then don't drive it!"

they need to get to work, don't they? what happened to getting a job?

"well then walk to work!"

lol, lmao. it gets to -3 fahrenheit in the winters here and sometimes it'll rain so hard the sidewalk floods, and in the summer you'll fry like an egg.

"well then bike to work!"

again, unsheltered

"well, take public transit!"

don't have any

"well what about the employees when they steal?"

most places don't dock hours for shrink, if they do, fuck em, unionize.

also, back to the topic of food theft, if you think people should only steal fucking gruel and oats, go fuck yourself. being against people who can't afford it taking the stuff that's actually half enjoyable to eat is the exact same shit as telling poor people who have a few luxuries to just sell them; you think enjoying life is something you should only be allowed to do if you can afford it, just fucking say that. people will take soda and prepacked food for the same reason they won't sell their playstation for that food, it's fucking depressing to live with the bare minimum.

No fuck the small businesses. They're some of the worst offenders because Walmart has people actively watching for blatantly illegal behavior. Small business owners think they're too small for it to matter.

Ma and pop stores are the worst about issues like understaffing, wage theft, overworking, and overpaying because they have to compete with places that out price them like Walmart. The small business owner I currently work for is every bit as selfish as Jeff Bezos. He just operates close enough that the community thinks he's different.

So hi I'm the pronoun having liberal living off of government aid that all the conservatives hate. I make less than $1000 a month with my disability income and food stamps combined and have noticed first hand something that no one has brought up.

That fried chicken that everyone keeps bringing up, as well as any hot food items at grocery stores, they cannot be purchased with food stamps.

Just a couple months ago I was really struggling. I had ~$20 in my bank account, ~$20 in my EBT account, my fridge was empty and a few weeks to go before I would get paid next. So I'm looking online for coupons and deals and doing the math to see what I can get for cheap that will last me until the first of the month. That's when I remember the local grocery store has a cheap chicken deal where I can get an 8 piece for $7. I figure that with some deli sides it will be plenty to fill my fridge and I can keep the money in my bank account for gas and other necessities. Only for my EBT card to be denied at the register.

You know what else you can't get on food stamps?

•tampons/pads

•paper towels

•toilet paper

•pet food

•medicine/vitamins

•ANY FOOD THAT IS 'HOT' AT POINT OF SALE (taken straight from the USDA website)

So yeah of course those are going to be things that are stolen. Because food stamps doesn't cover everything people need on the daily.
