AI can speed up a lot of the manual labour needed to bring even an almost dead, 10-year-old device back to life. My Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (oxygen, MSM8953) was dead. With AI help and my own knowledge, I ported/rewrote the missing drivers, and it now runs Nura (postmarketOS) with working camera, torch, SIM, phone calls and SMS. Only the loudspeaker is still broken.
Everything is up for anyone who wants to install it, or to understand the changes and manually write the patches for mainline: https://github.com/sv1sjp/mi-max2-oxygen-msm8953-nura-drivers Testing, feedback and PRs welcome.
I know that’s not how it’s supposed to happen. But the Github repository is getting attention and review, like this: https://kingy.ai/blog/openai-math-722-manuscripts-results-proofs-compute-costs/
I still don’t get if you’re still trying to excuse something bad and getting worse due to AI by saying it was always happening. I have acknowledged that it was happening.
