Yes. I have been daily driving one for almost 2 years. No it's not as polished as an iPhone of Samsung, but it also doesn't have the backing and history those phones have. In the time I've had it, the improvements have been h

This is exactly how tradesmen and craftsmen use their hands. I guess they don’t teach this at university :D

I’ve been daily driving Linux Mint for about 4 years. It’s usable and stable with standard software packages and can also be tweaked in the Linux way if you so need it. Another person mentioned Ubuntu if coming from Mac. I haven’t considere

I’ve never used a palm pilot, but I do have a Furi FLX1. If you don’t run the android container in it, then you aren’t exposed to the duopoly. It works as a phone. It works for documents, contacts, calendars etc. Bluetooth keyboard and mous

Sounds like you have a rule match to auto forward on certain criteria. Have you checked your rules?

I thought the same originally. Then after speaking with the online chat and realising Wayne was a Queenslander, I bought one. There’s enough people in the Matrix and Telegram channels now to know there is a real phone. Even look at the Git

Yeah it is. I have the Signal app installed in Android, but I only use it to initiate the Signal setup. Then use the desktop flatpak in FuriOS as my daily driver. You can change the look of it to be similar to the mobile app and a recent ch

FLX1 is fast. It’s useful. It has regular updates that improve experience. Battery lasts 1.5 days with moderate usage.

This was the basis of how FuriLabs managed to get such good Android app integration. Obviously they’ve forked it [0] and heavily modified it, but the user experience they’ve created with this to allow Android apps on a Linux phone has been

Look on the bright side. Locking bootloaders has the potential to break the duopoly by driving more people towards Linux phones or other unlocked devices. The more people that move, the stronger those communities get. I've been daily d

Why not consider a smart phone that has good hardware, supports VoLTE and doesn't use Android or Apple? I've been daily driving a Furi FLX1 for over a month now. You can make it as smart or dumb as you like and you can even use it

After looking what alternative mobile OSs lately, there seem to be a few around. The ones that have appealed to me so far are Ubuntu Touch, Mobian and FuriOS. I see there will be a Ubuntu based version here soon. What I can’t understand th

I use Home Assistant and a mixture of Z-wave and wifi devices. The way I choose wifi devices is by finding which ones can have Tasmota firmware flashed to them. For example, in Australia, many hardware stores sell “Grid Connect” devices. Th

Metal-halide HID lamps are best for this purpose. They have the best colour rendition of all lighting and they come in different sizes and colour temperatures. My pick for a bright daylight would be about 6000K colour temp and I’d just thro

16ms is just longer than one AC cycle at 60Hz and less than one AC cycle at 50Hz. I would has a guess that 16ms is the physical limit for most consumer hardware (and maybe commercial computing) to detect mains loss. Of course there is indus

Thanks for that pointer. A fair comparison. I guess features like that depend on developers available time and the size of the communities too. My assumption would be the ProtonDB service would have a much larger audience than OpenWRT does,

`ls` seems to have changed (unless ls has distro specific arguments). When I use `ls -r` I get reverse order. To get sub-directories, I have to use `ls -R`. I'm running Mint.

That’s how power transformer work in a utility network! We have 120000000w (120MVA) at work. So 500w isn’t much for an isolation transformer.
