Comment on This Espressif ESP32-Powered 4G "Smartphone," Programmed in the Arduino IDE, Packs The Essentials
FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 days agoThis is cutdown hardware leading to simplified and cutdown software as it’s a necessity here.
I strongly disagree. Spyware, bloatware, forced updates etc are a function of profit driven choice, not the necessity.

I’m not sure if I’m missing something or not.
I was referring to the Arduino phone. In general you’re not wrong.
The scope of the conversation is just the phone itself.
Hardware was designed first, and then they applied software.

You don’t need to redesign a hardware. It is software which needs redesigning, within the existing hardware.

Which already has been redesigned by people who know what they’re doing. This is just someone making a minimalist phone.
