Well, that’s fake. Nice idea, but every single picture displays signs of manipulation: Incorrect brightness values, compression artifacts (strangely stronger around the sign), mismatching perspective or difference of quality (sign is more clear than the uncensored part of the license plate below).

Oh, it wasn’t just me!

Oh wow, I did not expect to ever get an answer - thank you, stranger! The design looks very similar to early Thinkpads, maybe I’ll get one of them (I assume better terminal use than on my smartphone).

Thanks!

Does someone know what this mini-thing in front of the cats is?

Most common issue would be something with your system memory. I could imagine that this caused the timeout of your cpu, which waited for the startup code, which never arrived.

In case you want to test that, swap your memory sticks around. Or tell the kernel to ignore that cpu (see command line arguments of the kernel).

Well, sounds like blocking them is bad: https://gitlab.com/CalyxOS/calyxos/-/issues/370
