@Julian that's a good one, can you make an issue on github so I don't forget it?

2019-01-06 11:56:53 UTC  

Wow lazy

2019-01-06 12:58:18 UTC  
2019-01-06 12:58:31 UTC  

the m.2 or the computer its connected to

2019-01-06 13:15:12 UTC  

Why would it fry?

2019-01-06 13:24:30 UTC  

cause its chinkshit

2019-01-06 13:24:35 UTC  

unprotected electronics

2019-01-06 13:26:17 UTC  

well I have a 4 $ proprietary Apple connector => M.2 adapter running for years now

2019-01-06 13:26:55 UTC  

USB is 5V, M.2 is 3.3 V, we're not talking "frying" differences here

2019-01-06 13:31:45 UTC  

why did my redmi note 5 come with an unlocked bootloader

2019-01-06 13:33:26 UTC  

i thought you could change china ones to global rom without unlocking boot loader

2019-01-06 13:33:35 UTC  

im 99% sure its not refurbished

2019-01-06 13:33:37 UTC  

but who knows

2019-01-06 13:34:40 UTC  

but yeah it came in a chinese box with a global rom so maybe i got chinked

2019-01-06 13:34:55 UTC  

weird cause the one i got from that seller earlier this year was in a 'global' box

2019-01-06 13:44:01 UTC  

Some sellers buy the Chinese ones, unlock BL, flash global and sell for higher price

2019-01-06 13:44:05 UTC  

Check your LTE bands

2019-01-06 13:44:29 UTC  

For this reason, Xiaomi introduced the "waiting times" to unlock BL

2019-01-06 13:56:06 UTC  

Yeah chinese phones can't get on global ROM and vice versa anymore

2019-01-06 13:56:16 UTC  

Xiaomi stopped that in September/October

2019-01-06 13:57:17 UTC  

why not just sell one version supporting all bands

2019-01-06 14:01:53 UTC  

@androidcrawler licensing cost of bands

2019-01-06 14:02:21 UTC  

Like Chinese don't need LTE B20, so why would xiaomi pay to use the frequency?

2019-01-06 14:02:24 UTC  

paying for what?

2019-01-06 14:02:37 UTC  

They have to pay the license on a unit base

2019-01-06 14:02:44 UTC  

giving customers to netowrks?

2019-01-06 14:03:19 UTC  

oh hey cellular companies more customers , oh wait i have to pay you? kys

2019-01-06 14:03:46 UTC  

afaik as a manufacturer, you need to pay to sell chips that use certain frequencies

2019-01-06 14:03:57 UTC  

how fucking jewish do you have have to to charge people who give you customers

2019-01-06 14:04:21 UTC  

Eh its not the network providers that charge you for this

2019-01-06 14:04:32 UTC  

just another way what's it called

2019-01-06 14:04:35 UTC  

It's regulations and probably some government entity

2019-01-06 14:04:52 UTC  

that thing when criminals used to demand protection money

2019-01-06 14:04:56 UTC  

or commison from shops

2019-01-06 14:04:59 UTC  

hustle??

2019-01-06 14:11:57 UTC  

@androidcrawler extortion

2019-01-06 14:13:28 UTC  

The fun thing is that the global and the Chinese version have the same chips usually

2019-01-06 14:13:43 UTC  

And the Chinese version just has some bands disabled to save licensing money

2019-01-06 14:15:00 UTC  

so can you enable them?

2019-01-06 14:18:16 UTC  

the xiaomi wireless charger finally arrived

2019-01-06 14:18:23 UTC
