it's already working really well on my iOS 13 iPhone SE. the safari on this version struggles to render any 'modern' website these days, this browser works perfectly and I can even use uBlock Origin with it.

same here. in my case it happens when accessing from a link of a specific item, the frontpage and login page opens without any issue. after logging in the issue is gone.
Re:Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @09:38AM (#48461002)
thanks. i just checked and it seems like i was mistaken, the one i own now is a t60 not a t61. seems like it's already supported, gotta try installing coreboot on it.
Re:Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @04:11AM (#48458137)
awesome! hopefully T61 can also get some support soon..
these machines are amazing, but sadly they're showing signs of age these days. mine's already kinda unusable due to dim CCFL backlight and fan grinding noise.
Re:Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @04:09AM (#48458116)
i don't think it's really "far behind", it just can't run on hardwares that require manufacturer keys (e.g. intel bootguard)
afaik all modern x86 chromebooks ship with coreboot based firmware
Re:Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot
on Tuesday June 09, 2026 @04:05AM (#48458095)
everything except graphics driver would probably actually work with 98SE..
Win2000 or WinXP would be a better choice due to numerous reasons though. Win2K with an SSD is absolutely going to fly on that thing.
Re:Porting the ThinkPad X61 to Coreboot

most linux/bsd you can throw at it would just work fine. i personally like tinycore linux and porteus linux, they unpack the rootfs to ram so overall interaction with the system feels insanely quick on very underpowered systems with HDDs.
Re:Chuwi Minibook X: the netbook we deserve

hardware support is provided by the linux kernel, it should be fine. if there's issues one could just switch kernels..
8gb is plenty. i've ran tinycore on machines with 512MB or less
Re:Chuwi Minibook X: the netbook we deserve
on Monday June 01, 2026 @06:42AM (#48355042)
maybe try a linux distro like tinycore or porteus? it puts the rootfs in ram so things run insanely fast, and sync changes to disk before shutdown

for a short time i had warcprox sitting behind my firefox and auto feeding its output to pywb, it seemed to work but i had connections failing randomly after having warcprox running for more than a few hours~days. not sure if it's an issue with pywb or warcprox but there were some urls missing that i did browse on firefox, and many dynamic pages couldn't be replayed at all.

Re:LineageOS 23.2
on Monday February 09, 2026 @06:32AM (#46944109)
are there any examples of such device that got a recent version of LineageOS ported with the mainline kernel? it seemed like there's almost no android phone with mature enough support in the mainline kernel, and most android custom roms just backport needed functionality to old downstream vendor kernels.
Re:LineageOS 23.2
on Monday February 09, 2026 @06:28AM (#46944076)
Just noticed you mention already updating, in that case check for the bootloader version of the current firmware, if Samsung didn't bump the number (for anti rollback) yet you can get back to previous version.
Re:LineageOS 23.2
on Monday February 09, 2026 @06:26AM (#46944068)
you can use a treble GSI rom, I use one for two of my devices that lack community features and all the features work. Just make sure to not get OneUI8 that blocks bootloader unlock.

true, but I believe these bricked oneplus devices can also be revived from 9008 (EDL) if they can find the qualcomm firehorse loader file.
