Watching this, as I've been daily-driving GNU/Linux phones for two years now (first PP then PPP). One change I've noticed: when waiting for things in public, I don't reach for the phone, as I need to preserve battery for

If this has a Qualcomm chipset and run Android, does this mean that it has a functional GPS radio as well? I've always wanted the equivalent of an android PDA/MP3 player--with all the functionality and ability to run 'apps&#x

I think the software dimension adds some fuzziness to what can be considered a complete 'kit'. For instance, I've been able to piece together a voice assistant using a Matrix Creator [0] and a home alarm retrofit using Konnec

I was always a fan of G-Force and Whitecap [0]. There were whispers of this coming to Linux one day, but I don't think it ever materialized (publicly at least). [0]: https://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/

It's too bad that it took a long time for linux support for the cosmo communicator to not be an absolute dog and good luck porting to anything other than their debian flavor. Also good luck finding replacement parts if anything breaks!

It is interesting to watch comments about this dance around the topic of barriers to entry. It wasn't exactly easy for the uninitiated to access various internet fora in the early days and with popularity comes the bots born out of the

Daily driving for years now. Only thing to really keep in mind is having sufficient RAM. Otherwise, it's great for development. You can keep TemplateVMs for all of your development environments and tear them up and down, duplicate them

I think that you are mistaken. In Qubes, none of the VMs have access to the GPU by default[0]. May you elaborate or provide some evidence to support your claim? [0]: Unless you do something "exotic" like pass the GPU through to a

A HN comment turned me onto this podcast several years ago and its one of the ones that has endured and is part of my regular rotation. The hosts present and comment on the coverage of various current events in the broadcast press. Because

I remember this tool coming out of the Qubes community, where people seem to be justifiably skeptical to adding dependencies. Also if this were to run in say Dom0, a shell script is easier to use and inspect than installing applications in

This is correct and it is open souce software unlike the commercial derivatives, which do add their own value, granted.

It is amusing how this person has the temerity to name this configuration (partially) after themselves, while people have been making and documenting these configurations for at least a decade and surely longer.

It is perfectly possible to get by without buying into the credit scam. You just have to do things the way they were done 50 years ago: present a recent paycheck, present a current bank statement showing that you have enough in the bank, ge

Seeing as how can very obvious to your ISP when you use Tor, I would take this advice with caution. I agree that you should download Tor Browser and get used to using it, but also think hard about whether it would be a problem if you were f

This is a weak, low-effort responce. There is only so much that can be done by governmental mandate. People have become used to unsustainable lifestyles and it takes lifestyle changes at the individual level to shape our broader impact.

This is an amazing effort, very cool! I'm not sure why the author is having so much pain with Qubes. Indeed the lack of GPU in guest VMs is annoying but it is possible now to assign a GPU to a HVM fairly reliably thanks to all of the V

I don't like posting acrimonious comments, but it is hard to find any sympathy for the author. The reasons are similar to the contempt held for people who decry the manipulation of public opinion, while our high-aptitude graduates deci

Not everyone lives in the first world. Not everyone has a new computer. It is this sort of hubris that likely explains my feeling that personal computing has regressed in many ways for the average individual over the recent years. I'm
