I unlocked just a month ago to 2 months ago. Didn’t see this quota, maybe some markets have more restrictions than others.
On your xiaomi account? I never saw that quota thing, is this for the account to have unlocking privileges?
Credits? I didn’t need any credits, I used this, from the official website. I just checked on the fastboot screen (using this program) once in a while for getting the time to unlock the bootloader.
Can you explain a little more?
Yeah, it needs an xiaomi account with unlocking privileges (I have one from 2018, so this step was already done) and a Windows partition with the xiaomi bootloader unlocker (the official one, updated to the last version), then putting a SIM card into the phone, putting the same account on the phone, going to the bootloader unlocker, checking all the boxes and then just waiting for the time it says on the unlocker to unlock the phone, with the SIM card and not changing the account on the phone.
I just added a Windows 10 IoT LTSC partition to do that :/, then deleted it afterwards.
What about GSI roms? Like this or from Andy Yan?
There are a lot of GSI roms out there, one could fit your needs.
I never found one to buy, it seems I would need to sell my kidney to buy one second hand.
Xiaomi smartphones are cheap, but the waiting period is horrible (two weeks now), saying this from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s on LineageOS with microg. (I’m actually on my computer right now)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have any life hacks to develop interest or learn ?
9·20 days agoI just put a video of a depressed phd student trying to make some money on, like dig, that explains some of the bronze age archeology and history.
Are you tring to study for some exam or just learning about something?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Handled a ThinkPad today. What distro should I go with? Ubuntu? Arch?
4·25 days agoI use CachyOS on my X220 with btrfs and lzo as disk compression (lzo is very good on old cpus and makes the SSD go really fast). But I think any distro could be good on that hardware.
As a side note, I would really like an x86_64-v2 distro, people jumped from no additional instructions to v3 in no time, but these thinkpads and older pcs could really shine with that kind of optimization.
Yeah, it seems its used for passing devices to virtualized environments, but it seems, on these old bulldozer motherboards, the usb devices are virtualized (I have read a long time ago, could be wrong).
Even the Illuminati are using WhatsApp as their main way of communication.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Searxng search getting waaay worse. Anyone else?
6·2 months agoThey do some treatment to the results too + internal data from them, it’s not copy pasted from Bing, so the results turn out different for duckduckgo and other Bing downstream search engines.

19·2 months agoThis might be Bing, i noticed that Bing always returns the worst thing possible.
I configure the engines to use brave, duckduckgo, google, qwant and yahoo, always give me good results, might be the law of large numbers in action.
I have a ThinkPad x1 tablet gen 2. These x1 tablets are very cheap when used or refurbished and you can install any linux distro, as they are using x86_64 cpus.
I use it with gnome and cachyos, the optimizations really help and gnome has, in my opinion, the best touchscreen feel, it’s very polished for this.
