The OP6 is already so big that it’s quite the brick with a case. I’m hoping that the people working at Fairphone can get PostmarketOS running reasonably well on their devices considering PostmarketOS aligns pretty well with their goals.
I’m pretty sure my bank’s android app is just webview considering it has a cookie banner when starting it and it looks almost identical to the actual bank website. The biggest feature of the bank app is for 2FA, but it’s not like it’s much more convenient than SMS and they really should be supporting FIDO2 and TOTP codes for actually secure 2FA.
Actually, apparently the pixel3a now has both front and rear camera support, though still in the very early stages. I also like how the pixel3a has a plastic back instead of the glass on the OP6 so it does not shatter if you drop it.
Not much has changed since then. I use Phosh since as beautiful as gnome mobile is, it lacks some functionality.
Yes, it pure linux and is based on Alpine linux often used in Docker Containers. Many supported devices run an upstream kernel instead of the old manufacturer one that comes with android. Android apps can work though waydroid, though I have not used apps that require google play services, though I did get that working on my laptoo.
eyo, another oneplus 6 user! It’s nice having a headphone jack on a phone. I run PostmarketOS on mine for virtually infinite software updates.
Polievre wants to defund the CBC, build more oil pipelines and continue the expansion of city suburbs. No way I’d vote for that guy. The only good thing I’ve seen him say is that there should be more competition in the telecommunications market, but it does not take much effort to point out a problem.
Have a look at the PostmarketOS device list. There are a ton of devices that boot, but the vast majority are missing critical features that render the device almost useless for anything but a server. The only android phones that I know of that run well with usable features and performance are the Oneplus 6/6T, Poco f1, Pixel 3a, shift6mq and fairphone, though even then there are crucial features missing. A modern phone built for Linux with a modern chipset, working camera, USB and sound would be awesome, but such a device does not exist AFAIK.
There were 2 viable switch emulators, Yuzu and Ryijinx. Nintendo has managed to stop development of both. Yes, you can still get them from other sources, but the original team that worked on the software is now fractured and threatened. Too bad for Nintendo that both Ryujinx and Yuzu were already good enough to play most games with minor issues on reasonable hardware.
Damn, I guess the grid is a network, so no more power for me…
Especially if you’re like me and want to be able to boot the SSD on any conputer in case of failure.
At least where I live, Bikes are legally considered Cars in most cases.
Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA), a bicycle is considered a vehicle, just like a car or truck.
As a cyclist, you:
- must obey all traffic laws
- have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers
- cannot carry passengers if your bicycle is only meant for one person
Also, this is the official documentation in Ontario for bike signals, not sure how it compares to other parts of the world.
I like to signal well before I start turning so that I have both hands to complete the turn. I also don’t use the legally defined turn signals since I find cars don’t understand most of the time and it’s easier just to stick an arm out in the direction I’m turning.
This is the way. Drivers are usually not able to understand how to respond to bikes at intersections, so imitating something they understand, a car, is how you stay safe.
It’s a meta search engine: it aggregates results from multiple sources for your search query. So yes, it queries other search engines.
At least in North America, around 80% of the population lives in a populated area. That means even if we only eliminate cars for urban areas, that’s still most of the cars removed. The only way I see people in rural areas getting around without a car would be with electric cargo bikes and robust train routes.
Just btw, your requirements for the website would work just fine on a static site. A static site just means the server only serves the website and nothing else. No DBs or anything like that.
