@aburka@hachyderm.io Before you know it, you'll be wondering what actual software runs on the ARM processors inside your microSD cards...

@aburka@hachyderm.io Hey, I know you like Android, so I put an Android in your Android

Second queue nerd: One of the most fascinating things is that some of these little computers run a full operating system. Obviously most people would expect this be a cut down Linux distro like Alpine (other queue members nod in agreement) or perhaps a declarative infrastructure-as-code type approach like NixOS (some people become visibly excited at this point), but actually there are some really weird edge cases, like when your 5G modem turns out to be running Android with some "interesting" apps installed by the OEM - instead of what you thought was just a proprietary blob of baseband gloop. Third queue nerd: I'd just like to interject for a moment- (Hysterical laughter from the entire airport security nerd queue.) Antifa choir: (which has just manifested spontaneously like they do) "Scheiß AfD, und Scheiß RMS!" #39c3
