If you have Linux, you have waydroid. There can be a transition time, just like the Steam Deck is making clear the need of a windows computer for gaming is now irrelevant.

I could only hope this would make a good case for some EU-funded project for a fully open RISC 5 Linux phone.

Wow… I had no idea. Thanks!

And if my grandmother had wheels…

Yeah the leadership… The owner is the daughter of Oracle Larry Ellison.

Yeah…I’ve heard multiple comments about The Agency having no heart and missing the qualities that make the characters more human in the original French show. Eventually I’ll watch The Agency, but I’m more interested in having the original with full subtitles.

I guess he means whenever he reinstalls it. As IT, whenever I’m setting up something new on some server etc I have to go through those settings over an over. Not much different from the MS bullshit to try and reduce data collection.

Any fixes to allow private spaces to use biometrics? Or to make shortcuts of the apps?

My previous phone was an S10e. When it broke I got another S10e, second hand. I still keep it around as a work phone. I’m using a Pixel 7 with Graphene now. Not perfect, i honestly don’t love the crappy fingerprint reader, but eh. I appreciate the privacy and the extra control.

This is a shitshow. This is how you get people not to trust you and to go out of their way to disable automatic updates. Did Grapheneos also send the update?

I think you’re checking the Pro model. This one has a more powerful CPU and more RAM, and would have been a better option, except it had miserable failures to get it to boot or control the battery on launch, and development has been much slower than on the normal Pinephone, which although is woefully underpowered, it launched earlier and had a bigger support base. Pinephone Pro, while on paper being more powerful, stayed unusuable for rather long. I actually have both, and I haven’t checked recently to see if the Pro is any better these days. The normal one while having a much better compatibility (a lot of things worked with very little troubleshooting), RAM was seriously an Achilles heel, and you’d notice it the moment you opened Firefox or attempted to launch waydroid.

Ooof. After having a pinephone, I know what 2 or 3GB of RAM can handle these days. Not much, really. Specially the moment you open the browser. I’m going to pass from any project that doesn’t attempt to at least get close to this decade’s standards.

The problem with Samsungs is thar once unlocked, you permanently burn the knox security fuse. So, even if you re-lock it, it’s not going to play nice with banking apps. It’s a one-way install only. Also I’m not so sure how LOS plays with banking apps… The only one that allows full re-lock AFAIK is the Pixel (which is what I have now, after nearly a decade on Samsung).

You mean recent Samsung devices are compatible?

Since i bought my ink tank Brother over a year ago, i still haven’t had to refill it. For my previous Canon Pixma it would have been at least 2-3 cartridges. I mean i don’t print a lot, but I’m amazed at how much I’ve been printing with this thing.

Once it runs out, actually Brother original ink doesn’t come that much pricier than unbranded, but I’ll see my choices.

I have a Surface 7 Pro running KDE Neon. I don’t have a pen, but touch screen works perfectly (you might need to manually install an on-screen keyboard beforehand, as usually Linux doesn’t preinstall one by default), and I’d assume pen would too. Webcams are going to be an issue. You can find all information and support tables/matrix on the linux-surface website.

Here’s a long explanation on the work being done to make the cameras work (hint -they don’t, for our SP7 for now): https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Camera-Support

Awesome thanks!

Is there some list of recommendations or biggest discounts while having highest ratings?

You only need to see how young Tom Scott looks in the video to know this is indeed very old news. They seem to have necroposted this thing from 10 years ago and posted it now without any reference about when the events happened, to make it seem relevant/recent.
