I already disabled auto-renewal, there’s nothing to turn off anymore. There’s no contract, it’s just a monthly “package” that auto-renews by default.

I disabled auto renewal, but that’s all I can do. It was paid for by that stranger for the next month.

They also have plenty of scare words:
MOTOROLA STRONGLY RECOMMENDS AGAINST UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER AND/OR MODIFYING OR ALTERING A DEVICE’S SOFTWARE OR OPERATING SYSTEM. DOING SO CAN HAVE UNINTENDED, UNFORESEEN, AND DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES, SUCH AS RENDERING THE DEVICE UNUSABLE, VIOLATING APPLICABLE LAWS, OR CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH.
And don’t allow you to sell the phone later on:
Devices that have been unlocked are for your personal use only. Once you unlock the device, you can only use it for your personal use, and may not sell or otherwise transfer the device

Mate, even you just understanding what LaTeX and HTML do
With HTML, I only meant something like basic 90s/early 2000s websites. That doesn’t really need much. For example, toastytech.com. Using tables for layout is probably not done anymore.
When it comes to LaTeX, we just had to use it for an assignment in school, so that’s where I came in contact with it.
And even that’s something I struggled with. The entire page was supposed to be a colored table. I’ve used tabularx, but it kept being slightly off the page. For some reason, wrapping it betweencenterfixed it, but I don’t know what I did wrong there.It would have probably been easier if I did it in Overleaf (online LaTeX editing platform).
Instead, me being me, I was doing it last-minute. In a train. Full train, so I couldn’t even sit down to use a laptop, as such I had to use my phone. There are apparently some issues with texlive on Termux, so I didn’t run it locally.
Instead I had to SSH to my mini PC over Tailscale, edit the document using Vim, compile withpdflatex, copy the PDF to my phone usingscp, view it, delete, browse around StackExchange (where I found someone mention thecenterworkaround), and repeat.On a phone, while standing in a moving train. Quite the user experience.

- Comment on How do you people read books? 1 month ago:
Environment is basically any. I used to read on my touchscreen 2-in-1 ThinkPad using Arianna from KDE.
But I stopped because of software annoyances.
At some point, native Arianna package broke on Arch. It’s fixed now, but the UI has changed. In the past, while in portrait mode it also shown 2 columns, just slimmer ones (I think that’s version 24, I am not currently on that laptop). Now it only shows 1 page in the middle of the screen.
I also have an old Flatpak version installed which still has the older UI (I believe the older native package didn’t work with current dependencies), but simply the knowledge of that thing taking up in total 4GiB (as it’s the only Flatpak I have) while the native version is 1.6MiB bothers me enough not to use it. - Comment on It's honestly fine, you're overthinking it! 3 months ago:

I just tried to use it to make a copy of CD, all seems fine. Maybe it can’t handle the maximum read speed, but meh, it works hardware-wise.

IDE CD-ROM
Yeah. I have 2, so I want to use them. The dangerous thingy is an IDE to SATA adapter. If I manage to find DVD-RW drive with front audio and a play button, I’d like to use that in an external 5.25" drive enclosure I have.
The goal: External DVD drive that can also work as a simple standalone CD player.All I have now is 2 CD-RW drives like that.
And one of them (BENQ 4816A) doesn’t seem t work with Linux for some reason.

Just keeps resetting, eventually spams a lot of errors, then goes on to start resetting again.
VLC manages to use it for audio playback. Sort of. It can load CD info, play a track, and skip within the track. But when trying to play a different track, it again resets the drive, so it has to load the disc again, causing ~15 second gaps between tracks.
Both digital (on PC) and analog (on drive) audio playback worked just fine on Windows 2000 after passing the USB to VirtualBox.
