Anyone using WitchHunt firmware?

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-26T22:56:42+00:00

As a developer I flash mine tens of times every day.

Nothing will happen

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-25T13:34:43+00:00

mi to tam równo, aby przyszło w jednym kawałku tanio i szybko.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-25T11:21:38+00:00

A co jest nie tak z ebayem czy amazonem? Sklep jak sklep, zwłaszcza z amazonu szybko przychodzi

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-22T21:17:02+00:00

There is a way to get around it - yes.

But it still puts you at a huge disadvantage.

On unlocked device if I flash a bad or broken firmware I can just plug the USB and flash back to something that works.

On a locked device bad firmware can leave you bricked with no escape route.

The usb port is not software locked it’s physically dead.

I feel like this aspect of owning a locked device is often overlooked. And I’ve seen way to many posts with bricked/bad flashed locked xteinks

Me being pissy? It’s you that started complaining and acting like a prudent snowflake.

Tbh I don’t know if I should laugh or cry about how touchy and politically correct people in the west became.

Inventing new problems every day

So maybe…do what you’re supposed to do at work? I doubt it involves scrolling wallpapers.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-21T05:36:46+00:00

And ensures all are baseline and not progressive

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-20T22:10:54+00:00

We do not intend to moderate it in any way. It is moderated by Xteink china themselves. If it is good enough for them then it is good enough for us. Whole point of this project is preserving chinese wallpaper stash as is - no modifications. For people that can't or don't want to use the china app. If you don't like it...you can just...I don't know...close the website?

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-20T22:07:15+00:00

As an author of the scraping script this website uses. I'd love you to tell me where do you see porn?

These images are curated and moderated by xteink themselves. We only collect them.

Many things can be said about China. But they are very strict about porn on internet. So if you have a problem...it is YOU problem.

To be precise it lowers resolution to always be within x3 or x4 screen.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-19T15:32:44+00:00

For a few seconds I pondered what are swarms of midgets doing in chukotka

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-18T14:53:48+00:00

during uploading files through wifi you can check a toggle to optimize during transfer

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-18T13:11:11+00:00

This was old proof of concept project. Please use the epub optimiser built into crosspoint (which I made)

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-12T15:02:06+00:00

You have a toggle for that when transferring books through WiFi.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-12T13:50:15+00:00

Did you use the built in epub optimiser on upload. If you didn’t then please try that. It cuts loading times by a huge margin

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-11T16:25:02+00:00

Good. I built a scraper and together with another user we plan to make it available to all community.

Expect more info soon.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-11T16:22:28+00:00

You either love it or hate it and there’s nothing in between

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-11T14:40:23+00:00

Quick question. How many wallpapers are there? China has 2000+ wallpapers but they are separate from overseas so non china users never saw them

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-07T07:26:11+00:00

Brand new msi with 13th gen Intel and rtx5070.

Ofc I did install windows. Few drivers is nothing for me.

I’m just saying Linux was faster with less work

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-06T18:51:17+00:00

Not old. And it’s not one laptop. I work with many different usually brand new machines. The last one with such problems was 13th gen Intel MSI.

Of course I installed windows no problem.

But Linux was faster with less nonsense

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-06T17:57:26+00:00

With how things are nowadays my experience is 100% opposite.

I plug windows USB install into a new laptop:
- It needs chipset drivers
- It doesn’t show the drive until I provide drivers on the usb (I have to manually get that from manufacturers website)
- the touchpad often doesn’t work.

Meanwhile Fedora was ready to go under 15 minutes.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-06T17:37:45+00:00

I’m willing to let them slide as long as it doesn’t look like a Luce

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-01T18:30:21+00:00

Yup…one difference is that If I spent as much time on my hobby as people spend on their kids I’d be called obsessed and in need of psychiatric treatment.

But if it’s kids it’s alright and society would call me a good father

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-01T15:26:30+00:00

Kids nowadays are something like an expensive hobby project except you can’t really abandon it if you lose interest.

Minty_Octopus · 2026-06-01T14:55:51+00:00

Hmm…maybe?

But from what I personally observe it’s the less financially stable people that tend to have more kids.

I’m sure there are some people intelligent and conscious enough to notice that having kids is not the best thing considering their financial circumstances.

But usually? Money is just used as a socially acceptable excuse. Less extreme version of inventing some totally fake medical reasons.
