It’s a safe bet that this will be true. It’ll be priced like a prebuilt PC which are always a little more expensive than building yourself

I mean you’re not wrong. It’s basically just a prebuilt pc. I’m kinda hoping that they’ll have put some thought into using it as a console though. The ability to wake it with the controller for example. That’s something I’ve never gotten properly working on PC

Yep, I’ve since read some other articles and it seems there’s more to this specific case

It’s a direct quote from the article you’re commenting on, and that my opinion is based on.

But please, don’t let me stop you from attacking my character instead of my argument

content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor

I’m assuming they don’t mean a suggestive camera pan, but actually something problematic on screen, in which case, I totally support the ban. Devs were given the opportunity to change it, and they said no. Ban away imho. The fact that this is considered controversial is pretty disturbing to me.

Only a sith frolics in absolutes

Lol, I’d still take it. All I can say is the people flying with me better keep close. Ditto the ones breathing under water

Manifest any superpower at will

I just quickly browsed the reviews directly off the page you linked

https://furilabs.com/reviews/

The GPS one was from August, and skimming them again now, the impression I get is that it’s a great experience for a Linux phone but that it still requires a fair bit of technical know how.

Android/iOS level performance

That doesn’t sound sarcastic, and it pains me to say it but yes, for the core OS and features, I am unlikely to fully commit until it’s at that level of stability.

I don’t need wide app support, and I’m more than happy to tinker and run compatibility layers and whatever else for 3rd party stuff, but the core features of the phone have to be rock solid. That means GPS, WiFi, mobile data, SMS, MMS, Bluetooth, camera etc etc. need to be absolutely flawless. It’s a safety thing in my mind.

Not to mention when the rest of my hacky, cobbled-together, bad diy home infrastructure inevitably falls over, it’s usually phone I reach for to fix it. If that starts acting up too, I’m in deep paddle without a creek to stand in

ETAsk: do you own one? How do you find it? I’ve just read the review you posted and that is really promising

Just reading the reviews and it sounds like it’s got problems. GPS doesn’t work, mobile data is sketchy. That’s what I’m talking about. I’m fine to tinker and massage most of my devices into a working state, but not my phone. I can’t be messing around with terminal commands trying to get my gps working when I’m out on a trail for example. Can you imagine if there were an emergency and I first had to try and figure out why telephony was suddenly down before I could call emergency services? My phone is the 1 device that HAS to work flawlessly every time.

No, the hardware needs to be completely functional. I’m not asking for a native Signal app or banking apps here, but if I purchase a phone with wifi Bluetoothand nfc, I expect it those things to function. That’s not maximalist, that’s minimum viable product.

omfg yes!

What I wouldn’t give (or pay) for a 1. sleek, modern smartphone 2. running a pure Linux distro 3. that’s feature complete enough to daily drive

All of the current options available fall down in one of the three areas. Usually 2. and 3… mostly 3.

So uh… if you’re like me and don’t know what this is: If you do decide to google it, don’t open the wikipedia page on your work laptop…

the actual fucking Pinkertons

Are they based on real people?

Paralives

Tip for improvement: have a light/easy listening playlist to start off with, and then have it switch to a heavier playlist when you’re at risk of running late.

would be good to fade the volume in too for a softer wake up

I’m new to home assistant so no idea how easy it is to do either

don’t let your dreams be dreams, friend

That’s why I posted it. So people can decide for themselves. Doesn’t seem that bad to me, but then I’m a dev, so it’s really hard to judge what a non dev would be comfortable with

Depends on your comfort with CLI tools. Here’s the process (assumes Windows):

1. Download and extract platform tools
2. Add that location to your PATH

• Win + R, type “cmd”, enter
• set PATH=%PATH%;C:\your\path\here\ <- Temporary, just for the current session
• setx /M path "%path%;C:\your\path\here\" <- Permanent

3. On your device, go to Settings -> About and look for Build Number it can sometimes be buried in Software Information

4. Tap Build Number repeatedly until a message appears You are now a developer

5. You should now have a new Developer options menu item somewhere in your settings. Sometimes it’s top level, sometimes it’s buried under Additional Settings or Advanced Settings or the like

6. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on

7. Connect the device over USB

8. Back on WIndows type:

• adb devices
• You might get a popup on the device asking if you want to allow USB debugging. Select Yes, and run adb devices again. You should see your device listed

8. Download the APK of the app you want to install (AAB files are a PITA, but can be installed too. Try to get APK files though)
9. Install with:

• adb install C:/path/to/app.apk <- if adb devices only returns one device
• adb -s <device_id> install C:/path/to/app.apk <- specific device

You can install updates the same way, just download the updated APK and add the -r flag adb install -r C:/path/to/app.apk
