Digikey actually makes really nice YouTube tutorials on how to use KiCAD: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vaCVh2SAZY4 When I had to design a board I used that.

To add to others, I prefer not to have jokes here, as I would rather to come here for a good discussion. I really don't want to have to wade through low effort jokes/memes to find such a discussion.

Respectfully, I do use signal, my family, my boss, most of my friends, etc. do not, they use SMS. Also, Telegram seems to be much better supported on the Pinephone as of now, so that is what I generally prefer.

Ahh, fair enough, thanks!

Read reciepts or delivery reports? I'm not sure if SMS supports read reciepts, but I didn't think so. The MMS standard allows for read receipts ("MAY" not "SHALL"), I was unable to get it working, and I suspect

NixOS offers reproducible builds, which is why their package manager is the way it is. pip doesn't seem to offer very good support for that: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-86...

They certainly do. In Chatty: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/merge_requests/786 . Some carriers even charge for the service (!!): https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/

If I could ask, is there a reason that your development team is hostile to others packaging Home Assistant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27505277 To the point that they will threaten to relicense their own software:

I would encourage you to look here for context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27505277

FWIW, I am in the same camp as you. They seem oddly hostile to FOSS development (as shown in your comment and the top comment you replied to), and as such, I hesitate to use it for that reason.

In all fairness, a locked bootloader won't help against exploits in the OS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28516095 If I'm Snowden, I would be far more concerned about that.

Heh, that's good to know, thanks! So how find grained can it detect like that? I would think with a phone, you are only looking for large movements (phone being g picked up, in an automobile, etc.)

So why bring in FireWire at all to the argument? Why not give USB examples? Giving the benefit of the doubt, the writing is extremely unclear and, to me, gives the impression of a comparison between the two. Same with referring to the other

by kop316 5y ago
I have seen this article a few times, and there's enough wrong info in it that it makes me question the rest of its claims: - The article confuses FireWire and USB in the last paragraph. USB, to my knowledge, doesn't do DMA, while

Well that's disappointing....but I guess not unexpected.

Yeah sorry, I should have been more specific, `interl-microcode` is a debian package that loads it on linux boot.

by kop316 5y ago
AFAIK it does yes.

by kop316 5y ago
AFAIK it is supported: https://wiki.debian.org/Microcode

I have a Thinkpad X200 with libreboot, and with it, I install the intel-microcode and such so I have the updated protections on then. I personally feel that is a practical solution, as I have the FOSS bootloader, and I don't think Inte

It's hard to tell, but it looks like the laptop is effectively a shell for a compute element that can go in a NUC too. It's a neat idea, and I recall there being a push for an open source device that was a computer in a PCMCIA car

Two things: - You seemed to make an account specifically to respond to me. Is there a reason you did that? - I debated if i wanted to call out specific instances or not, but many of them are personal ones and I didn't want to dox anyon

Heh, youre actually the founder? https://github.com/thestinger https://daniel.micay.dev/ I'm surprised to be honest.

Heh, so I figured it was some random followers, but strcat seems to actually be the founder: https://github.com/thestinger https://daniel.micay.dev/ Which is honestly surprised me.

That's fine, the project devs of GrapheneOS (I assume that's who Micay is?) can do what they please, but when your comments adds needless disparaging remarks, it outlines the exact point I made above. When I see this, I really don

Yeah, that was after I poked at them a few times to ask what "100%" even meant.
