I’m more of a dust man, myself. It runs recursively so it’s easy to pinpoint the culprit.

Right, for a paper physics problem. Try telling someone to multiply their hand by -1.

The only thing I don’t like about this is the implication of a left hand rule for left hand threads, which makes my E&M physics brain sad

Of course! I’ve loved mine. The community and integration with Gadgetbridge are both awesome. You’re in for a treat if you go this route.

On the watch front I opted for the Bangle.JS 2. The abstraction to everything being JavaScript can be annoying, but takes away some foot guns for tinkerers who don’t want to optimize lower level code.

wherever you get your PCBs and associated components ;)

Cool video and channel. Thanks for posting!

TLDW:

[It was a cool attempt that may have spurred mobile Linux devs in an important way. Removable battery + hardware switches for communication subsystems were genuinely innovative and in tune with community interests. Also it was bad. 8 year old CPU, software that was trying to do everything everywhere all at once, cameras that didn’t work then technically did. Pine64 still exists and the Pinephone Pro is a thing (that the presenter hadn’t tested).]

Presenter was generous when describing the end product. It seems to me like they want to like it but came to the same conclusion as most did – it’s definitely not a daily driver. That said, it doesn’t have to be to remain a cool product.

Do give them a watch though if you have a chance. This is from a <1k subscriber channel and was well put together.

Amazing work! I’m very excited to see mobile Linux reach a usable state for every day processing. Thank your for your time and energy. It is valuable and going to good use.

Why the Pixel 3a? Is there anything special about it (or not special, which might mean my old 3XL is good for more than gathering dust?)

How can I get involved? I know my way around C and would love to pitch in.

Well that’s odd!

Here you go:

It’s been my most used feature on my Garmin Instinct 2X tbh. Glad I don’t have to carry a separate gadget.

Syncthing is my answer though I appreciate it doesn’t get to the root of your question.

There are local backups that include your system settings, text messages, contacts, call history and (optionally) apps. The one thing I want is the ability to pick a directory for the local backup so I can make it work with syncthing without jumping through hoops.

It’s also compatible with Nextcloud and WebDAV if those are options for you.

I miss my pixel 5 :(
