Yes!

Unfortunately, audio through the 3.5mm jack only works if you power on the console with headphones already plugged in.

Also, the setup is opinionated. For example, it stores save games alongside ROMs, while I use the default emulation directories on my PC. This makes syncing saves more difficult and it’s not something you can disable in the emulator setting, they hardcode these directories via scrips.

Lastly, the idle battery life is significantly worse, which matters to me since I prefer to put the device to sleep.

Ukraine. Of course, it could just be a local thing since it depends on your social circle. But the things my parents told me make total sense to me.

I’ve asked many people who were born in the USSR, and I think about half of them feel that the shit we’ve had since then is way worse.

It wasn’t perfect by any means, but I think we should have improved it with reforms instead of splitting into poor countries and giving all the power to oligarchs.

Thanks for sharing the source, subscribed :)

Interesting observation!

Honestly, I’d buy a phone with RK3588S, but $1,300 is overkill. I’d rather much prefer to downscale other specs to make it around 400-500$.

Here is the comparison with Tensor G4.

RK3588S is a bit slower then Snapdragon 865, which is 5 year old.

I think RK3588S is nowhere near Pixel 9 CPU.

How is your experience with AR glasses? I’m considering buying a pair myself.

Awesome progress! What Linux phones do you use?

I have a PinePhone Pro, but it’s quite low-end…

Great news, I also found Plamo a bit sluggish in the past! Will give it a go!

Welcome aboard!

Never got a virus or at least I don’t know about it 😅 But always install packages from official repositories or AUR (but I usually inspect PKGBUILDS for unpopular stuff).

I also tried with the fingerprint sensor enabled, but managed to reproduce the issue :(

Yes :)

That’s strange - they said they finished shipping. Maybe try reaching out to them.

Ah, you have the antenna issue 😢

I read that it’s possible to fix with a hardware modification, but it’s very difficult.

I find the Pro1 X to be too large for my hands; a phone around 4.5–5" would be ideal.

That’s unfortunate - there aren’t many modern alternatives. Even the F(x)tec is a bit outdated by today’s standards.

What keyboards have you tried?

I’m aware of musl/Linux, uClibc/Linux and other variants - I just wanted to distinguish them from Android since they all use the Linux kernel 🙂

GNU/Linux is just the most common.

I’m guessing cases for this are hard to come by?

Never looked for a case. But it’s a rare beast, I don’t think there is any case for it in the wild 😅

And what about lint/dust/sand

I think it closes quite firmly. So dust doesn’t get inside.

Good point! Another issue is that only FUTO and FlorisBoard currently offer FOSS swipe implementations, both of which are in alpha. The AOSP keyboard doesn’t have this feature - it’s exclusive to Google Keyboard.

You can still buy one from backers. Since deliveries only recently finished, many units are still in near mint condition.
