Too bad the front isn’t a screen too. It would be pretty awesome to open a book and automatically slave the front screen to the book’s cover.
Also strange that the dev didn’t enable wifi. That’s just strange. It’s running an esp32, it has a wifi chip and getting it to connect is incredibly easy.
I’m using ConvertX and I’ve liked it. How is this one better?
I messed around with it back in college. Had a lab where we had to make our own OS with a purpose. Lots of people made their own digital picture frame. This was back in 2005 when linux and gentoo were rougher around the edges. I tried compiling my own custom kernel. One that had only the drivers needed for my hardware. Took like 2 days per compile. After several tweaks and fixes I got the kernel to compile, but not boot.
Eventually caved and went the easy route of compiling the generic kernel because I had a deadline. I installed xfce, metasploit, nessus, wireshark, and a handful if other tools to make a knockoff kali linux for my project. It was fun, and I learned a lot.
That’s what you are paying for. You can’t really scrape email addresses. So that database is marketing data that is bought and sold.
I own my own domain. I have email hooked up to that domain. I’m the only user on my domain. ALL email addresses get forwarded to me. FenderStratocaster@mydomain.com would show up in my email box.
Corporations also get every email address for their domain. They don’t broadcast valid email addresses. Typically they receive a valid one, and forward it to the proper person inside their org. Or if invalid, they will discard it. Some places will return a response saying that’s not a valid email, but most people stopped doing that. One because it costs money, and two it’s actually a security hole. You could theoretically brute-force valid email addresses of top executives, or anyone.
Instead websites gather lists of addresses by means of new accounts, and sell that data to these companies, who sell it to people who want it.
Lake is what I’d imaging Hallmark would create if they decided to make a choose your own adventure videogame.
Did you create your own docker container, or did you use the official one?
I have the official one up and running, voice and video chat work out of the box.
And potentially make them better too. Maybe a generic wireless driver that works on almost all phones (even if slow), or it’s not uncommon for the industry to gatekeep features to newer models. OSS would likely get those features running on old hardware anyway.
That’s not even mentioning the spyware and AI garbage baked into everything. Or nerfing cpu/battery performance on devices for planned obsolescence.
Looks like most of their services are also foss. Says their cloud service is powered by nextcloud, and pad is powered by Etherpad, upload by Lufi, etc. So, OP could probably just self-host most of these really easily. Hardest one would probably be email. That’s a whole 'nother beast for most. Especially since most residential IPs are blacklisted. You almoat always need to cloud-host that.
My cloud-hosting knowledge is a bit dated, bit I bet there are webhosting places that do the email bit for you, you juat pay the monthly fee to use their auto-gen instance of mailcow or whatever.
Boot into a live usb. They’re great for debugging stuff like this and giving you some clues.
If it works, it’s not a hardware or windows issue. If it doesn’t, it might be.
Fight it as long as I can with my current fairly new phone. I assume that update by google would require an OS update, not a google play update. I might just not update my OS until I get a new phone.
If I’m lucky I won’t need to update for a few years and an awesome linux phone will be available. If not then some de-googled android phone.
Only if you happen to have one of the handful of supported devices. I, unfortunately have a handful of old phones, none of them are ever on the list of supported devices when it comes to these linuxphone/androidrom sites. I routinely check them all.
Except one that’s got a mostly working community build for postmarketos, but the install docs run me around in circles. At one point I had 20 tabs open of linked docs and still couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do.
UBPorts did nicely tell me that my plugged in phone wasn’t supported, and while I could choose from the manual dropdown list, I really, REALLY shouldn’t.
We need more drivers for devices, and easy installers. Or at least archwiki level of documentation.
I’d love to see linux become as easy to install on any phone hardware as it is with PCs now.
I’ve had issues like this before too. Mine was with the api password. You have to enable api access in settings->authentication->allow api access
then reset the api password (sometimes takes a few saves to stick for some reason).
Minor in your hobby. College is a great time to learn and use advanced expensive tools. Minor in art, music, woodworking, agriculture science (gardening), mechanical engineering, videogame development, culinary arts, etc.
Don’t have something from above? Consider the future where AI makes your career obsolete. Grab a minor you don’t hate that could be AI proof. Like Landscaping.
