There aren't a whole lot of power management features available in the hardware, the SoC just wasn't designed for mobile/battery use. About all you can do is disable USB/ethernet/HDMI if not needed for your use case

No, the category is a performance specification (higher category is faster), the band is the frequency of the radio signal.

I think the performance loss for a higher resolution screen would not be worthwhile here. The GPU in the Pinephone Pro is a lot faster than the original but it's a 6 year old design that is not exactly great by modern standards. And a

There are 31" and 42" e-ink displays available, but they cost a few thousand dollars. The 42" is pretty close to 2ft by 3ft, 25" x 33".

It's quite simple, the market for paid end user applications on Linux is tiny. Canonical was saying years ago that they were going to add paid applications to the Snap Store but seemingly never got around to it. Elementary's App C

Drawing video took up a very large fraction of the CPU cycles on the ZX81 so there was a 'fast mode' and 'slow mode'. Fast mode cut out video output when programs were running, slow mode left it on and ran at something l

It's CPU specific in the sense that the CPU needs IOMMU instructions (almost everything made in the past 10 years) and OS version specific in that Windows and Linux have both supported it for about 3 years. The problematic part is that

AMD has been doing custom x86 SoCs for a long time, mostly for game consoles. It hasn't had any real impact on the laptop/desktop/server market so far.

The software could be pretty simple. Hook a button up to GPIO, write a bash wrapper around one of the command line VoIP clients, write a little program to call the script when the button gets pressed, autorun that one on boot.

There are a couple of 10 bit IPS 4096x2560 monitors these days. They are ludicrously expensive, but they are out there.

144Hz monitors are definitely a noticeable improvement over 60. GSync/Freesync are nice in games, not really relevant elsewhere. If you want to avoid microstutters associated with power savings you can adjust the minimum clock the CPU

The DRM on blurays has been broken for over a decade now. The newer 4K blurays are a pain though, there are only a few drives that work and you will probably need to reflash the drive firmware.

That's what it costs buying the parts from them. $750 laptop, $360 RAM, $1000 SSD. The RAM is pretty reasonably priced, but you can get your own 4TB SSD for about $500 less. $150 less if you want the exact same model they're selli

A lot of e-ink devices just run Android so it's relatively easy to run whatever you want on them. Refresh rate depends on how much of the screen is updating at once. Scrolling a whole page is pretty bad, updating a small region is reas

My understanding is that the licencing of the console SDKs and their associated NDAs is so restrictive that you're not allowed to publish source code using their APIs. Depending on the GPL version you may be able to get away with publi

Neat project. I wonder how hard this would be to adapt to an ESP8266/ESP32 target (or other micros with onboard radios) and sending the code wirelessly.
