Do you cool off the flour tortillas to prevent the butter from melting? I'm curious now!

I saw that, I may have to try it sometime! Out of curiosity, how much Ghee can you make out of butter (I.e. start with 16 oz of butter, get approx 8 oz? Or how much?)

Depends on the recipe I want to use. Tortillas call for lard, and I don't think butter would be a good substitute on that. (Actually, I think the only reason I have lard/shortening is to make flour tortillas) But you are correct,

I think Chris Kimball of America's test kitchen spoke on this, one of the other big reasons that American's went from lard to Vegetable shortening was because lard is used in ammunition, so in world war II, much of the production

So something I saw with shortening now (to include Crisco) is that it now is mainly palm oil, which has been fairly controversial due to deforestation: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/palm-oil-health-imp... I

I assume they want to support it, as well as any other carrier feature. I just have no knowledge on how difficult it is, nor in what state it is in now.

This seems to be their GitHub: https://github.com/DoubangoTelecom/doubango It looks like it could be. They have client-side proof of concepts.

Thank you! Understand, that's how I have been playing with My Librem 5, I pull it out every so often to try out different things.

I don't know if it's just T-Mobile doing that. I've never tried using AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint with a purely AOSP (only compiled using the instructions on Android's website, not also including other proprietary blobl

This was a discussion with the Librem 5. I know that T-mobile USA does not whitelist phones (My Librem 5 makes calls, sends/recieves SMS, and gets LTE data on T-mobile). Calls/SMS don't work on LTE though (I think due to prop

Is it on 3g or LTE? I wouldn't be surprised if both work over 3g, but I would be very surprised if it works over LTE.

I hate to temper your excitement a little bit (I am excited too!), but I am not a bit surprised that LTE data works. Calling and SMS/MMS over LTE (for T-Mobile USA) are two things that at least that as of today, you need proprietary li

I think the one thing that is great about the Pinephone is how cheap it is. It's not Luke the raspberry Pi cheap, but it significantly lowers the barrier for entry for folks to work on it. I do also think that the last post on the Pine

If you look at another reply, the bug was fixed already. But to your original comment, I'd argue it's not. Saying it can't make phone calls implies there's a much more severe issue than it apparently was.

The down votes are because it can place and receive phone calls, there is just a bug that doesn't allow audio on the call. EDIT: according to someone below, that bug is fixed too. In addition, the backers getting the phone now were exp
