On your xiaomi account? I never saw that quota thing, is this for the account to have unlocking privileges?

Credits? I didn’t need any credits, I used this, from the official website. I just checked on the fastboot screen (using this program) once in a while for getting the time to unlock the bootloader.

Can you explain a little more?

Yeah, it needs an xiaomi account with unlocking privileges (I have one from 2018, so this step was already done) and a Windows partition with the xiaomi bootloader unlocker (the official one, updated to the last version), then putting a SIM card into the phone, putting the same account on the phone, going to the bootloader unlocker, checking all the boxes and then just waiting for the time it says on the unlocker to unlock the phone, with the SIM card and not changing the account on the phone.

I just added a Windows 10 IoT LTSC partition to do that :/, then deleted it afterwards.

What about GSI roms? Like this or from Andy Yan?

There are a lot of GSI roms out there, one could fit your needs.

I never found one to buy, it seems I would need to sell my kidney to buy one second hand.

Xiaomi smartphones are cheap, but the waiting period is horrible (two weeks now), saying this from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s on LineageOS with microg. (I’m actually on my computer right now)

What is your purpose?

Do you just want a job or do you want to program for fun? If you want backend, that’ll be very different than frontend, do you want corporate or startup?

I didn’t care about that, but I think java, for backend would be a first choice, as it has the biggest amount of “it just works with that”.

I think scala is cool too, very modern and with A LOT of less boilerplate, all the JVM support, so it can work with almost anything in the backend, but for working for jobs, it’s not very used.

The most used language has the most of the worst code, quarkus is a new framework (and very good), ejbs are enterprise java beans (the worst thing ever made).

I think a lot of the code was written by a lot of people in a rush, very backend of the backend, but EXTREMELY needed. Java is hated (I hate it too), but the new things in it? It’s amazing too (I only love the new stuff).

Gson in the corner murdered:

it wasn’t funny in any way, but JSHITBOSS “microservice” (it was a jboss service with one microservice inside, in a kubernetes pod, with only one core, tell me about redundancy). Service classes with over 2000 lines of code, it shouldn’t even be called spaghetti code, more like lasagna code, the pasta came in layers, separation of concerns was a mere suggestion, code was not thread safe (and it needed to be), but there was only 40 Ejbs for each “stateless” service inside de EAR, so number go up, code goes better.

I refactored it, it’s now in the glorious quarkus 3.27, on virtual threads and java 21, not hyperbole, but 5x more throughput and you don’t need 7 phds in italian cousine.

Edit: I also saw, in Angular, the infamous:

if (variable === true || variable === 'true' || variable === "true") {

And the best:

public static void () {}
