What’s the worst gift you’ve received?

Shimitar · edit-2 2Y

A fucking android tablet. The worst one on the market: even a browser would lag opening the simplest pace.

But i was able to install Gentoo linux on it and hack enough to have fun. It was still pretty much unusable tough.

How long did it take to compile?

The BASIC system only some 1 day GUI (xfce or such) only some days… Firefox like a week…

But i made it!

Hey man, that shitty tablet probably gave you a life-long love for hacking. If it had been a fancy iPad, you would never have tried to switch it’s software.

Unfortunately internal memory gave up quickly so only like 3 years of fun

What kind? I have a rooted galaxy tab a7 lite for some games but I don’t use it much

It was an Asus. Even a top tier one. Still shitty hardware.

This one is hard though. Coming from a poor family of a kid wanted an ipad but there’s no way we could afford it I’d try to get them the best we could afford. Those tablets sucked back in the day, but I sold a lot of them to parents who couldn’t afford the iPads pricetag
