I didn't realize that OP was actually the tech illiterate in the story and thought I was making a funny joke. Here's a true story as an apology

Becoming skilled at technology only means you have more tools at your disposal with which to be retarded.

>>59777558
Doesn't look like it, but even if so
>>phone reboots
OP you failed.
>>59777558
Nah, that's my monitor. Didn't screenshot my phone because yeah.
>>59777573
You kind of need to reboot to implement new shit. But yeah, didn't expect to be stuck in bootloop after I tried flashing an emergency kernel that didn't work for shit.
>>59777626
>phone
>tablet

Assuming >>59777558 isn't you.
>>59777687
24" monitor. My GPU was acting up, so I got a new one. Pretty sure it's dead, but I'll test it one of these days.
>>59777769
