So to provide further context, PCs have tables that can be checked to see what hardware is located where. Phones don’t have this, and if you try to query the wrong component or the right component at the wrong address, you can crash the whole device.
PCs were this way too, before PnP/PCI/ACPI tech showed up.
Loading Linux on a Pentium with a bunch of ISA cards was NOT a guaranteed win.
I think i’ve read something about (pseudo-)RISC architectures not allowing universal drivers for whole families, each must exactly match to the hardware.
I remember bricking my Xiaomi as it were yesterday. Flashed the firmware for a Poco F4 on a Poco F1 because I was too dumb to read.
I looked for a fix a long time, the final solution was to throw it into the fucking trash. . .
Tap for spoiler
Of course I recycled it
Need to make that in an HD picture for my lock screen

Well, it’s most self repairable, not most durable and resistant. So time to repair 😂
Chat is this real?
No
That’s a joke, right?
This is not reality
