Well Qualcomm chips are made in Taiwan. Most of the phones are actually made in China or India (PCBs and assembly) I believe.

On the bottles website, it says that the bottles are sandboxes. It has a full subsystem container for each program that is isolated from the main system (according to them I guess).

If you run it through something like bottles offer a bit of protection in that respect?

Sadly, just the store doesn’t work for many professional programs and non-free software.

Segger j-link, renesas go hub, Nordic tools, etc… (though AUR solves this on arch distros)

Their flagship models only IIRC.

But the principle of an ODM is that the company lets another company completely design, manufacture, etc… Their product and then they paste their name on at the end and sell it as their own, which is why the design is often identical, because it is a reference design with a couple tweaks.

Like 99% of the cheap smart watches do this, as well as the Nothing CMF line. The non-flagship HMD line historically did this, maybe it changed in the last couple generations have changed it?

I am still rocking my Xperia 5ii. The fingerprint sensor stopled working after 2 years completely (a known problem that persists to newer models and it is thought to be a hardware problem, but it doesn’t happen on any other phone with a power button fingerprint reader and booting in safemode and back or a phone reset to factory can fix it for a short time, so I think it is planned obsolence in firmware), the software support only lasted 2 years (1 android upgrade IIRC, I am on 12), and the battery usage is 2.5-3% per hour with the screen off on 4G and 2%/hr on WiFi.

Other than that it is a great phone! Pro camera app is also awesome.

HMD is a Chinese OEM. 90% of their phones are just off-the-line Foxconn reference designs with almost stock android.

It is the illusion of choice that happens when companies and IP are massively consolidated into monopolies.

I have heard that their phones are pretty good!

The thing is, all phones nowadays, even OEM Chinese phones are good. 100€ budget Samsung’s are good because there hadn’t been any actual phone innovations for a decade.

I think it is just him and his way of marketing his companies, not the phone itself.

Nothing is pretty much a Chinese OEM…

The phone is fully designed, engineered, tested, built, and firmware written in China… Pei just has his marketing office in the UK so he can claim it as a UK company. Maybe they give some aesthetic design direction in the UK too. Pei has a history of lying to make his companies seem like something they aren’t.

(Though they did have a couple of software job postings up recently, so maybe they are trying to slowly change that and do some of the software in the UK)

Good fucking luck bringing any actual consequences to Microsoft except a fine of 0.001% of their yearly profits after 5 years of arbitration.

True, but this is a reaction to companies discarding their employees at the drop of a hat, and only for “increasing YoY profit”.

It is a defense mechanism that has now become cultural in a huge amount of countries.

Opensuse MicroOS variants kalpa and aeon are probably what they are looking for. Stupid easy to set up and, from what I understand, quite secure.

Downside is that it needs workarounds for some things like Steam Flatpak and such, but that is the nature of atomic distros.

Linux mint was the only distro where things continually broke for me (just software, not the system, and this was 10 years ago now)

It’s definitely improving! I hope they also improve the default shortcuts because having to reach to almost the last key on the other side of the keyboard (k) for the single most used constraint is pretty nuts while there are almost unused closer keys lol.

I wish he would bring his skills to freecad 😂😂 it is needed!

That is not true even a little bit. Look at any inkjet paper under a microscope made after the mid 2000s.

I would be interested to see a figure of people with home servers that have had that happen to them. DoS & pwned yes, especially 15+ years ago before there were good resources, TLS, reverse proxies, or authentication front ends.

I would be very interested to see any stat whatsoever of selfhosters that have gottened murdered specifically because of their server.

It is extremely important to note that in those days, people just opened their, often out-of-date, servers completely to the internet via a DMZ or port forwarding, let ssh be open to the internet, didn’t harden ssh at all, and most people didn’t use a VPN for downloading.

That is literally like saying that people who light wall torches in their wooden home burned their house down, so let’s not use lightbulbs or electricity.

Well I am learning that hardware-wise, my open source smart watch AFE might require an interrupt pin (apparently the RTC fallback that Maxim says is why a big crystal is required just doesn’t do anything and no docs on how to set up that or polling mode) to work with the algorithm chip. That brings the cost from 20€ for 5 PCBs to 350€.

So I might need to write a new zephyr driver for the AFE chip directly and then spend months more work making an open source PPG algorithm and adjustable LED gain algorithm to keep the project going.

Eh, I only do embedded work which doesn’t work even with layering unless you layer everything which defeats the point.

Good thing is that I just have a distrobox for embedded work that spins up whenever I need.
