Gotcha. didn’t realize you meant the developer settings options was greyed out since your pic was just off the bootloader.

There are two possibilities here:

1. it needs to check in over the internet to enable OEM unlocking. Boot into the OS, connect to Wi-Fi, then do a factory reset from within the OS. Go through setup a second time then and it might enable OEM unlocking.

2. The device was not purchased fully and may have been on a payment plan. You can try contacting the various carriers and providing the IMEI to them and ask if the device appears in their inventory as still needing to be paid off. You might be able to convince them to unlock it for you.

Here is a reddit thread with some information that might help. Read all the comments. Several people have been able to get around this with different approaches (trying sim cards from other carriers, telling the carrier you’re an android developer, etc): https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/sc2w1r/fyi_if_your_oem_unlock_is_greyed_out_after/

Good luck! You might just have to return it but it’s worth a try.

Unlocking the bootloader on a Pixel is relatively simple but you do need to boot the phone and get past initial setup.

You don’t need to attach your Google account even. You can skip all of that.

You just need to get into the Developer Settings section and enable “OEM unlocking”

Once that’s done you can proceed with your unlocked bootloader normally through ADB/fastboot

it is important for people to be able to build spaces that provide community for people who have perfectly legitimate reasons for not wanting certain things around.

unfortunately providing that functionality inherently provides the functionality to create echo chambers for arbitrary reasons

you cannot have one without the other and I’d rather have both than neither

they didn’t say it was hypocritical, just empty criticism. They are implying that ml instances are no less egregious about the types of bad content they allow, even if the content itself is different

they acquired a tar package from somewhere else. the instructions said to extract it to the root directory (because of its file structure). they accidentally extracted it to their home dir

that is how this happened. not anything like what you were saying

except if you read the accompanying text they already stated the issue by accidentally unpacking an archive to their user directory that was intended for the root directory. that’s how they got an etc dir in their user directory in the first place

Error 404: Country not found

it’s also plausible that, if it were a murder and not a suicide, everything was prepared the day before but they couldn’t go on time and had to wait a day.

there are a lot of possibilities. certainly a critical error is one of them. but if we’re going to talk about plausible explanations that isn’t the only one

I’m pretty sure this is backwards? SSRIs work because they are reuptake inhibitors, increasing the amount of serotonin available to receptor sites.

So it’s more like “I have a bunch of serotonin that my receptors are begging for but my brain is just like nah you don’t need that lemme take it from you lol tough it out”

I think. I’m not a chemist or a biologist. Just some barely educated depressed guy in the internet so I could be wrong

What can I say? I woke up this morning and chose violence 🤷‍♀️

Valid point! But then how do you refer to the data structure/architecture/model concept? Sometimes we want a concise term (like bittorrent or ActivityPub) for the abstraction

Nobody said it wasn’t? But different models have different benefits and drawbacks?

See the link in my other replies for some examples of internal uses that still benefit from immutable, distributed ledgers.

Large organizations still have loss and risk from individual bad actors. Operating a central authority that validates every single transaction in a ledger, and validates ledger history and consistency, can be prohibitively complicated. A well designed blockchain implementation can resolve most of these issues.

A great example is a pharma/healthcare company that wants to manage medicine batch and expiration tracking, as well as distribution/patient assignment. With a traditional infrastructure every participant needs to phone home to a central authority. In a blockchain setup, peers can report ledger events one hop up and propagate it through the chain.

That’s a very simple example but I hope it gets my point across

Here, I provided a bunch of examples months ago of other ways blockchain is being used: https://lemmy.world/post/36683795/19677963

Lol you’re a judgemental prick. I have zero crypto because that shit is absolutely moronic.

It’s like you talked to someone who supports nuclear power and responded “good luck with the nuclear bombs you definitely don’t have, true believer”

Sounds like you just want to hate on shit you don’t understand. Go on with your bad self though 👍

EDIT: LMAO from the article you linked they even point out that the tech itself isn’t the problem, but the willingness of businesses to invest in the improvements (which is, like, an incredibly common problem in business that does not in any way make the tech bad)

Its plan to digitize global supply chains hasn’t received sufficient cooperation and support to remain viable.

That is the downside of corporate blockchain projects. They need everyone to share a mindset and commit to a long-term plan. Unfortunately, businesses face ever-changing conditions and financial problems. Few can warrant the cost of buying into such systems under the current market conditions.

You probably preach about how nuclear power is terrible, how if it were so great there would be more of it, and people sticking to coal is proof that coal power is better.

Big brain you’ve got there 😂🫡

Critical mass is not required for internal systems. Not all implementations of blockchain are intended for public use.

I’m really tired of this. Blockchain. Is not. Crypto.

Here’s the research I did for everyone four months ago: https://lemmy.world/post/36683795/19677963

I have a large number of examples in this comment from four months ago. Please read them: https://lemmy.world/post/36683795/19677963

Blockchain is not synonymous with crypto. Why are you bringing up crypto specifically? Crypto is garbage. But Blockchain is not crypto

You are making my point. Blockchain is not crypto. Blockchain can be useful in private, internal use cases (like a transaction ledger for bank branches) where trust is largely implicit.
