I'm ok with png, and I thought the webp was already super advanced (in the meaning of I never used it), but HEIC?

That's super, super advanced to me. LOL

Just noticed this HEIC problem.

I used to use png with my old phone, but Samsung uses this new format that I had never heard of.

It seems like qoto or mastodon server generally doesn't accept this format when uploading.

It's time to create an alt on other servers to domoretesting, I guess.

And for some unknown reason, the fedilab keeps failing to post this toot.

今天把雷蛇拆开了，以为又是一年一度的电池鼓包环节，没想到的是电池尚可，灰尘倒是挺多的

Today, I disassembled my razer laptop, and I was expecting a swelling battery. To my surprise, the battery is ok, yet. The dust is very bad, thanks to Beijing's air quality.

虽然电池现在还好，我感觉到了6月份左右肯定会鼓包。

According to my experience, the battery has a great chance to swell in June.

Today, I read this brilliant paper on the Chinese network filter, aka the Great Firewall. Don't know what to say, but I'll leave the link.

In the last two days, I was trying to decide between the Samsung S23 and the S23+. Watched some reviews on YouTube.

Now YouTube puts 8 videos about those phones on my home page. That's kinda stupid.

OMG the lightning is sofa king loud and scary

Temporarily run out of luck.

The guy reported S23+ is out of stock, while S23 and S23u are both not.

Also, to flash BRI firmware on TGY devices, I have to change the CSC first.

I used SamFW before, but with a certain update, it now needs to install on your PC and it refused to run on VM. Also, my ESET is very unhappy about this file.

It's sus.

So I finally ordered the Samsung S23+ from TGY, and intend to flush a BRI firmware on it.

The reason is my existing Xiaomi was bricked by my own app (kind of, but I don't think it's my fault).

Yesterday I was thinking of deploying my newly written Android app to my current using phone. I think it's good enough to use. However, I use Google's barcode scanning feature, where you just invoke a Google Play module without asking for camera permission.

However, my Google Play Service seems too old to use that feature, so I need to upgrade it first. I tried the update button but it failed silently. I thought it might be a network issue since sometimes Google Play doesn't play well with VPN. So I decided to spam the update button, and suddenly it starts loading. I thought it was good to go.

Then I went back to my app, invoked the GMS feature again, and then the whole system is frozen. I thought a reboot would fix it. So I powered off my phone, and then powered on again. And I stuck at the MIUI logo and never booted to the unlock screen.

I tried to save my data, but failed. I have to wipe all data, and flash the rom in fastboot, multiple times. I don't know why, but it still stuck at the MIUI logo when I wiped all data 4 times. Then it finally booted, and my data are all gone.

Based on the information I have, I'm using the MIUI EU edition, where someone unofficially zips the China ROM and Google stuff together, and removed some useless Xiaomi stuff. I also rooted my phone and installed a lot of magisk modules. I don't know what part is wrong, but looks like the Google play service failed to update itself and bricked the system. And I wiped my phone multiple times, I don't have any log or clue to guess what happened.

I got enough issues with those Chinese firmwares. I decide to go native Google now. No root, no patches, just Google and work profiles to isolate Chinese apps.
