They all use the base package from the chipset vendor. It only supports android and only for a given number of years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the license was massively invasive.
Basically, there’s no drivers and no documentation for most mobile hardware outside of manufacturer contracts.
And that’s one way to make things marginalized.
Only thing now evil than Apple is Microsoft.
And https://sailfishos.org/ is… what it is.
Would be nice if fairphone was in talks of making sure that adequate hardware will be in next version. That would benefit both projects even if they didn’t offer official support.
I’ll guessing the problem will be the chipset vendor.
Most useful as in something I wouldn’t have otherwise is probably some gridfinite thing. SD and usb stick holders maybe.
Most used is probably a plain headphone hook for office. Daily use and storage for years.
Most saved time and money? Jigs and dummy parts at work which have helped avoid more expensive processes and mistakes in more expensive processes.
Except for alpaca and llama.cpp and some other options.
Archive.org could actually build a genuinely useful fully self contained search engine using the real pages and media they have.
I’m just happy it isn’t IE. And that normos have started to figure out that they can easily look up things they don’t know. But yeah, “nature builds a better fool”.
Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix in most other contexts as well.
Fdroid probably needs funding, too. And it’s not a neverheard.
Although the apps come preinstalled and unremovable on many phones.
And all their friends and crushes use it.
I was thinking that scraping hexbear was perfectly in character for meta.
Old timey gas/oil pumps were manual, too. I can still remember a few stores that used to have those. Especially if they had a pier with no electricity near by. Some farms still have them today.
In my experience it’s also very very hard to wear out an SSD. It’s limited, but mostly the limit is very very far away. I treat those warnings as largely fud. Most common failure more seems to be that the controller in the drive dies for some reason and the drive just goes completely dead and never gets detected again. There won’t be warnings from any smart values either.
Or the drive is just replaced with a bigger faster one, maybe on a different bus/connector or something, and forgotten in a drawer or a box somewhere.
Naturally it’s still worth trying to enable trim and limit writes if there’s no downside. It can only help in case the drive does get an exceptionally long service life. But I’d say use it while it’s still useful and keep fresh and verified backups.
Also, there’s no reason they wouldn’t wrench you no matter what you gave them.
Is the PSU in V2 any less shady than in old Enders? The almost naked industrial unit was easy to install with wrong screws that reach into the circuit board or have things fall into the contacts or through the slots inside.
I’d look at the cable and the switch and any connectors and connections there first.
