I really respect Sebastian. He has very deep technical knowledge and hangs out on several Pinephone channels and offers helps on them. This is in spite of the fact that the Pinephone is more or less a competing product and I doubt he gets p

I can confirm that SSO is broken for many browsers. I had to install the app to get it working. Later on, i will be making a VM for Zoom explicitly.

What do you use for it?

Heh, interesting. Even on the Pinephone? I know Ubuntu Touch supports MMS but does not on the Pinephone. Same with Glodroid (the Android Port to Pinephone). I have been doing some work with MMS on it recently: https://gitlab.free

I mean, I am holding one right now, and I am a customer (Well technically it's next to my laptop, typing with one hand is hard). So I don't understand what you mean.

Respectfully, I think you misunderstand the page. The Quectel EG25-G is the modem only, the main CPU on the Pinephone is an Allwinner A64 ARM Quad core Cortex-A53. The modem itself has its own linux kernel, app space, etc.

Both PostmarketOS (if you use the phosh env) and Mobian use phosh, proc, chatty, libhandy, squeekboard, and a number of Purism packages. Mobian would take a lot more work (and likely would not exist) if they did not take advantage of Puris

I would argue they are doing what I wish any normal OEM would do: upstream their patches to make it much easier to maintain. "normal OEM Support" for phones means you are stuck on whatever LTS kernel the OEM used, then good luck t

With the Librem Phone, the extra money is also paying for the development of the software ecosystem. I would argue that's worth the investment. For reference, a lot of the Pinephone distros are using the software developed by Purism. I

You can download the board schematics here: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PinePhone_v1.2 And see exactly what the switches turn on and off. Heck, if you are really paranoid, you can inspect the PCB and the schemat

I have it in addition to my Android phone. I am actually really impressed on how well it works (I use Mobian). Email, maps, calendar, and web browsing all work. The camera sort of but not really works. The only thing stopping me from using

Heh, interesting. Is it a specific brand or model (i.e. I get what I pay for), or this just a thing with UPSes?

Trust me.....having infrequent power outages like that are very very annoying. Everything turns off and I have to spend a non-trivial amount of time bringing my network back up (first router, then NAS (encrypted to I need to hand jam in the

Re-reading I was thinking the same thing. Batteries don't just "die", they degrade in performance. How did he also know power didn't go out too? That confused me as well.

I was answering the question of "What is the business of the Facebook SDK doing in a thermostat app?". The though process is "Want to offer Facebook Login for Nest" -> "Need to use SDK for it" -> SDK tal

by kop316 6y ago
My understanding is if you offer facebook login you have to use the facebook SDK.

by kop316 6y ago
Is it the nest thermostat, or is it the nest app? If its the nest app, does it offer Facebook login? If its the nest app and has the Facebook SDK, that's why.

Ahh sorry! The openpandora was my laptop, it was incrdibly small and worked really well for that. I also had a small USB keyboard i I needed to sit down and type longer. I lost the open pandora, and that was a sad day.

That really makes me miss my pandora......

It's funny you mentioned Pandora actually. I backed the open Pandora and when I first got it, I was severely disappointed. I think I threw it into a desk drawer for a couple of years and I stumbled upon it. When I opened it I was surpr

To my knowledge, only Ubuntu Touch uses ofono and mmsd. But Ubuntu Touch doesn't support MMS for the Pinephone yet either (per their Gitlab).
