Yeah. The linked Mastodon thread by GrapheneOS mentions them potentially making a phone themselves. I’d love if they partnered with fairphone to build it. Though it sounds like we’d need to accept a higher price than a standard fairphone.

I bet the frame rate is fine. Response time is the potential issue. I bet it’d reel like frequently pausing an audiobook with old bluetooth earbuds, which is to say vaguely usable.

I use Aurora store and Fdroid on it. Funny considering direct play store is a selling point of theirs. I mostly use it as an ereader but it’s also my work phone since intune doesn’t play nice with grapheneos. Being able to fit my ereader in a pocket has been amazing. I rarely leave home without it

Nah. I love my palma 2 and can do plenty with it if you accept no cell phone capabilities it’s great. I don’t see the appeal of a device with worse refresh rate, a keyboard that needlessly eats screen space, and UI that doesn’t trust you as a user.

Edit: I suspect people are reacting without knowing wtf a palma 2 is, lol.

Seriously. This thought occurred to me the other day when I plugged my power bank into a car’s charging port to check the wattage and wondered “why the fuck can’t my phone just do this by default?” Do we actually not trust people to understand higher number = faster?

Just to clarify: what are some of your specific complaints with bad information? I ask because I’ve been trying to fill in business hours and other info you might find on g maps for my city, and it’s definitely challenging. My new pet peeve is just how many businesses don’t bother listing their hours anywhere but proprietary services. No hours on their website and not even on their front doors.

Forget the technical details. I work in a corporate security department and if yours finds out what you’re doing there’s high odds they would absolutely hate it. I mean it likely isn’t an issue for org security (assuming they’re using bitlocker appropriately etc.) But not everyone over security is so rational and there are edge case attacks which may even trouble more sensible individuals. Either get permission, expect to do this in secret, or better yet just don’t.

Seems like a good opportunity to ask if anyone can recommend learning materials for FreeCAD? Used Solidworks and AutoCAD in school but fell back on tinkercad for a recent project just cause I didn’t have time to invest in learning.

Bit of a tangent but: How dangerous is ripping and distributing web content these days? Like how prevalent is watermarking or other methods that could identify the account the recording originated from?
