It would be completely unreasonable for me to suggest such a thing. You can tell that I didn't because I would have written "all tradeoffs," not "major tradeoffs," before I provided a grand total of two tradeoffs in

Every time someone says we need a better open Linux phone, the Librem 5 and PinePhone crowd shows up to tell us not to believe our lying eyes, that our standards (which are already more open to tradeoffs than the general public's are)

In that thread you're stating just months ago that Librem 5 owners no longer need to manually develop raw photos to get decent results. Truly atrocious video quality. I say the camera's not good enough for me, and I suspect the ma

Me: We need a phone. You: We're there. It's a bad phone. This thing works as a laptop replacement. You'll even be able to use it as a trackpad some day! This reads like satire. You guys are so out of touch with consumer expec

Then read more closely. I didn't say the components existed a decade ago. The performance level of that SoC would have been challenging to get what typical phone users would consider a good experience out of a decade ago. The 2016 Pixe

A Camp Snap is more than good enough to have fun with. That's an entirely different requirement. I had an iPhone 11 Pro Max in 2019 and its camera quality was miles ahead of the linked photos, even if you assume raw output and post-pro

Beyond the forgiving lighting, note the huge amount of post-hoc post-processing being done.

My guess is he's talking about the management engine. Which, if one's comfortable with the HAP bit flip as a solution to that problem, then one should arguably also be comfortable with bit flips controlling baseband radios which s

I wish these devices were ready to be viable alternatives for anyone not possessing a religious extremist's level of zeal for it, but they's still so far from ready. It's a shame, since we need something like this to be viabl

No, it's not even close to good enough. Beyond the photos, the video he posted would have been disappointing in 2003.

Agreed. Despite endless assertions from someone that Pine and Purism are where we should place our hope for better mobile devices, I can't put my trust in either company. Their track records are too hard to overlook.

Asahi is a very cool project, and worthwhile if someone goes into it well aware of the major tradeoffs they're making, including reduced hardware functionality and support, which is improving, and significantly degraded security, which

Generally speaking, if your Wi-Fi works on Debian and/or Fedora, it should work on Qubes OS. There are exceptions to that, of course. On a desktop PC you'll have to make some tradeoffs versus most laptops, namely integrating sys-n

Give Qubes OS a shot. It's significantly less challenging to run than it used to be, and a (small, I admit) number of us daily drive it. Hardware support these days, while far from perfect, is much better. It's not the daunting sl
