Can anyone make sense of these errors? Trying to revive this old Z8300 tablet and it's reporting all these weird partitions that I can't remove.
Bump, someone help me out here. I just want to wipe the memory entirely but nothing seems to work.

Format with fdisk/gdisk. Then install a new Operating System other than Mac.

Thanks, I'm trying to zero the drive right now with sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0 the weird part is that gparted shows sda2 as having 30GB of unallocated space, the tablets internal mem was 32gb and the live usb is only 8GB, could it be reporting the wrong drives?
Do you... not know how to take a screenshot?

The tablet has no internet connection.
Use lsblk to list the partitions and you gotta mount the partition before you write to it...

my zero command returned successful after about 10 minutes with (7.2GB,7.8GB) didn't seem to do anything though.

Did you mount it first?

it was a win10/android dualboot but both corrupted and i'm trying to get it working again, no fucking clue where the apple comes from though
you can use status=progress to see what dd is doing.
If you want to wipe the on-board storage, and you're using an Ubuntu LiveUSB, just use gparted. Select "/dev/sda" from the gparted dropdown menu, select which partitions you want to delete, then click on "Edit -> Apply All Operations", and the partitions will be deleted. After that, install Ubuntu, or whatever distro you want.
Try to remove partition table and reset the disk label. Post pics of your sweet boipucci pls
parted /dev/foo
rm 1 ...
mklabel gpt
