ISP provided equipment is also made outside of the US. This affects way more than just telecom stuff

That’s actually super neat. They really buried the lead with that article headline.

I’m personally not pissed but I’m not sure if they’re missing something or not. Or just old fashioned ragebaiting. If it’s ragebaiting, they got me.

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

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.

Which already exists and has existed for ages.
Lineage os (Android), e/os (Android), postmarket os (straight up Linux) would all be excellent answers for cutdown/debloatable mobile phone OSes. (also Ubuntu touch and whatever the pinephone shipped with)
Its probably a lot harder making an unintrusive os than it is making this.
This is cutdown hardware leading to simplified and cutdown software as it’s a necessity here.

I wouldn’t consider it reinventing the wheel. Giant algae tanks to replace trees is reinventing the wheel. They’re just making a phone out of parts that would have originally been in a cheap phone at one point (before they got turned into development boards).
If I wanted to be super uncharitable, what the maker did was akin to this.

I think they’re having more fun making it than looking for a perfect solution. The fastest way to accomplish this is just buying some flipphone from Kyocera or something.
Also it’s a prototype. It wouldn’t survive in the real world in it’s current state.
- Comment on GrapheneOS Collaboration With Motorola Mobility 4 weeks ago:
You need to be able to relock the bootloader after flashing firmware. Pixels can do it and that’s it.
- Comment on GrapheneOS Collaboration With Motorola Mobility 4 weeks ago:
It’s specifically the ability to relock the bootloader with custom software. Pixels are the only phones that can do it.

Every single time I looked for an article I got confused. Explaining it like “coax is just an antenna” was the gap in my knowledge.

Will keep that in mind. The original application was for my friends place but they’re moving. Lease ends next month and they’re not renewing. My moca setup was for my router and now it’s a cat 8 cable. (I have fiber)

If you like modding new Vegas, you should totally get into CP2077.
I also want to get into fallout 3. I’m so very tempted to set up ttw but my copy of 3 is on EGS and fnv is on steam.

I’m not exactly sure. My sense of smell has been shot since I got covid. It feels so weird. Some smells don’t exist, some are much stronger, some remained the same.
One good example is burning anything while cooking.
I can just feel it though. If I’m itchy while in my kitchen, 9/10 it’s ants (ground floor old apartment)

I’ll try it again. They’re not mine so I didn’t get too much time with them. But the mids are indeed lacking.

- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 2 months ago:
Maybe. My current set is a tired pair of Monoprice BT600ANC. I found that the high end of the xm4 lacking compared to the bt600anc. Noise canceling was about the same level as the 600anc.
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 2 months ago:
Idk if I used a really bad set of wh1000xm4s but they sucked. Too bassy and muddy. Like more than they should have. I hope their studio headphones are much better in that regard.

I really need to get a new display replacement for my old vaio f series laptop. The screen layers are doing the funny vinegar thing. That and some sort of ssd. Maybe a USB Dom or some msata thing with a converter board.

Quite a few phones have desktop modes now, and they work alright. I wish my phone had it. My iphone 16 supports USB dp alt mode but only a direct mirror.
