So I know that pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter (and the ratio of r³x4/3 to the volume of a sphere).

Apparently even the circumference of the universe needs less than 40 decimal places to be more accurate than we would ever need to worry about.

So my question is, how do we determine the decimal points beyond this? If pi is a ratio and even the largest conceived circle only gets you to ±36 places, how do we determine what the subsequent numbers are?

I was following the installation guide and things were going smoothly until I started flashing the recovery.img

For some reason the phone started power cycling, which interrupted the flash. Unplugging and re-plugging it in seemed to resolve it, and it got back to bootloader mode. I flashed the recovery image onto it and tried entering recovery mode, but now it only goes to the bootloader, irrespective of the option I choose.

Is the phone screwed, or can I salvage this?

ED. Fastboot detects the phone when it's plugged in but adb does not

I have an RTX 3060 that I bought about two years ago. Until recently I only had a 1080p 75Hz monitor, so I could play pretty much anything on max settings.

Then I decided to treat myself to a 1440p 180Hz monitor, which has been amazing. Obviously this is a lot more GPU intensive, so I have had to turn down some settings. Then I decided to try out FSR. I'm on Linux and gaming mostly through Proton, so it was as easy as adding a launch command.

Holy crap. Elden ring (admittedly not a very intensive game) went from a choppy 50 fps on high settings and medium ray tracing, to a smooth 60 fps on maxed out settings and high ray tracing with FSR Quality. And I can't even tell the difference from the upscaling! I'm super impressed and can't wait to try out FSR 2 and DLSS now!

PS. Play Grim Dawn! Amazing ARPG with really good classes and customisations.

If you'd prefer something older and simpler, the same devs made Titan Quest.

I am currently using an S9 with /e/OS, and I'm thinking about upgrading next year, since the battery is starting to act up.

Are there any phones released in the past few years that are a decent upgrade and that support a privacy-oriented ROM?

I can go up to 500USD, but I live in a 3rd world country, so Fairphones, Pixels, and some other phones aren't available here.

Thank you in advance!

For example if I have a setup like:

 alias llaa = pwd && ll'''

Will the second command work, or would I have to set it up in a more verbose manner (like ```alias llaa = pwd && ls -la```)
