AI can speed up a lot of the manual labour needed to bring even an almost dead, 10-year-old device back to life. My Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) was dead. With AI help and my own knowledge, I ported/rewrote the missing drivers, and it now runs Nura (postmarketOS) with working camera, torch, SIM, phone calls and SMS. Only the loudspeaker is still broken.

Everything is up for anyone who wants to install it, or to understand the changes and manually write the patches for mainline: https://github.com/sv1sjp/mi-max2-oxygen-msm8953-nura-drivers Testing, feedback and PRs welcome.

    Depending on what you mean by saving us, I don’t think China will, but they’re not invading random countries, staging coups, droning civilians, etc, so these two countries are not even remotely comparable.

            China is an imperialist force in East Asia

            According to western media, thinktanks commentators comfortably sitting and circlejerking in the imperial core yes.

            It is destroying every non-Han culture and religious expression within the CCP controlled areas.

            Easily disproved by random travel bloggers that travel China e.g. Xinjiang and Tibet
