BREAKING: Proof that Xiaomiβs R&D Department is just a text editor as Xiaomi renames Tab 8 to Tab 9
Xiaomiβs "innovation" has officially peaked at a basic find-and-replace job. Why bother with engineers when a developer with a backspace key can create a "next-gen" device in seconds. Firmware Code shows the "new" Pad 9 is just a global rebrand of the Pad 8, keeping the same βyupeiβ codename throughout.
The code proves that at Xiaomi, 8 == 9 is a valid boolean if Lei Jun says so. Don't buy a Pad 9, just rename your Pad 8 in the settings and save yourself the cash.

Bitwarden is dying...?
Bitwarden has undergone quite a lot of major changes without any single public announcement, all of it being done quietly. The author who wrote about this quiet renovation at Bitwarden, has already migrated everything to Vaultwarden, the self-hosted version from Bitwarden Cloud.
- The phrase βAlways freeβ disappeared from the personal password manager page in mid-April.
- Bitwarden used to define its culture with the acronym GRIT: Gratitude, Responsibility, Inclusion, and Transparency. After May 4th, that changed.
GRIT now stands for Gratitude, Responsibility, Innovation, and Trust. Inclusion and Transparency are out, while Innovation and Trust are in.
- A 2022 blog post by CEO Michael Crandell β βDefining and sustaining value for Bitwarden usersβ β was quietly edited. The GRIT list in the body now shows the new values: Innovation and Trust.
- Founder/former CEO Michael Crandell was quietly replaced by a new CEO and transitioned to an advisory role in February. The CFO was also replaced in April.
- The new CEO is Michael Sullivan (former CEO of Acquia and Insightsoftware), whose specialty is mergers and acquisitions and private equity.
Private equity firms buy businesses, cut costs, grow revenue, and sell them at a profit. Theyβre not there to run a software company long-term β theyβre managing an investment toward an exit. The people hired to run those companies are hired specifically because they know how that process works. Thatβs the new CEO of Bitwarden, as he oversaw a $1 billion acquisition of Acquia by Vista Equity Partners in 2019, and a $1 billion investment from Hg into Insightsoftware in 2021.

XenithOS' proprietary protection system is linked to the serial ID of the device to prevent unauthorized distribution. All this for a HyperOS port, lmfao.
I thank the gods at XenithOS who allow me to at least flash another ROM and not completely lock me out of my device ππ
Also, server costs for a HyperOS port?
