If you don't flash it, you'll not be able to use PD chargers or alt-dp mode, or USB-C hubs/docks. It's pre-flashed in factory these days.

Some of this is lima specific, so not really.

Hard to say. I don't phone much, especially these days during the pandemic, without travel, I don't need mobile devices for anything really. Smartphones are barely useful for anything to me these days. I thought about it and I bas

This makes me want to read Nadine Strossen's books. Interestingly "Defending Pornography" came out the same year Wendy McElroy's "XXX" did. ( http://www.wendymcelroy.com/xxx/ ) Interesting c

The point is that you can't tinker with the modem, fix issues, implement new features, or remove misfeatures introduced by Quectel, if you have to use the blob. Where the blob is running is maybe only relevant to how much control it ha

PinePhone can play FullHD video at 60FPS on an external 1440p monitor (incl. the up-scaling to 1440p) smoothly, without breaking a sweat. So as long as the codec is something supported, like H.264, video is no issue at all. https:/&#

HW can do it. https://xnux.eu/devices/feature/audio-pp.html SW would probably need a bit tinkering. Make sure the in-call audio profile is set up correctly for recording, and some way to start/stop recording

Startup times will probably change quite a lot for apps that use the GPU. I've noticed some performance work being done recently around startup times.

It's not about the volume. There were issues shipping into particular countries that may actually check items on the border for more than just price matching the product so customs/VAT is not gamed, and the state gets their proper

The point is that it's not Android, so you can run whatever you can make run on mainline Linux on PinePhone, with fully supported kernel always available in uptodate state, and without any Android abstractions that may or may not limit

To clarify, 4G modem modules (like the one in PinePhone) are usually based on stripped down smartphone SoCs, running Linux on ARM + a huge multi-milion lines FW blobs running on some DSP, that's actually implementing most of the functi

Some monitors actually are powered from external adapter. No idea how common it is, but one is sitting on my desk. Interestingly, it's also the one that turns off when there's some interference from the lights turning off in the n

That's probably true. I don't run one board though. I run ~12 24/7 for years. I also run many other devices from uSD cards that get turned on/off hundreds of times a day on occasion, when I'm doing some development,

Anything not related to your use case for the board. Random crap general GNU/Linux distros will do because this is not an issue, on usual HW.

It's also possible to have one connection to multiple origins with HTTP/2 (as long as they are on the same IP/port). I wonder if it's recommended though, since I've noticed this only on Safari so far.
2238.
by megous 6y ago
Depends. Safari will re-use a whole TLS session even if you change hosts/origins (if the IP address/port is the same). That's just a bit too much in my book. Nevermind that it randomly breaks TLS client certificates selection

Different magnetometer. Previous revisions also had minor changes, for example a resistor removal to prevent the backlight intensity changing when USB switches VBUS from sink to source mode, etc. Ever since pmOS the changes are very minor.

4k block random read on a regular A1 rated uSD card is 8MiB/s. I benchmark 11MiB/s on some of my Sandisks Ultras, depending on manufacturing date. Writes usually don't matter much, unless you use an inappropriate filesystem f

In a multi-core system, it may be, since you're not really accessing main memory directly, but you're going through several levels of all kinds of caches, some shared and some not (L1 (instruction, data), L2, L3, TLB, ...), and so

I'm using self signed cert on iOS/macOS and it works just fine with Safari. Safari is messed up in other ways with TLS. Like it re-uses HTTP2 connections when making requests for a different Host when it's running on the same

Yes. Makes sense. Thanks. I agree that "learning to think algorithmically" will help someone apply programming language skills about as much as learning just English language grammar and very little vocabulary, will help someone a

Any guesses if FitGirl is also a 50-year old guy (or two) that's just very much into compression/repacking? :)

Depends on use. Queued random access 4kiB block read IOPS can be 3 orders of magnitude different. (120 IOPS vs 500k IOPS for example)
