You mean you still need a dongle for the dongle?

Too bad full size usb ports have mostly disappeared from laptops, so Bluetooth is the only way. Unless they started making usb C dongles?

Pinephone looks great and the keyboard case seems very ergonomic. Fo you use it as your daily driver?

How do you install utilities like kubectl and azure CLI on Android?

I keep saying the same about the iPhone but they keep making new ones

With 640x480 screen i doubt it’ll be used for web browsing, unless you use lynx. Firefox in a pinch, but my guess is this will appeal mostly to Linux terminal users.

Full-size usb, Ethernet and keyboard mean you can use it as a Linux computer, install arbitrary debian packages, run shell scripts, python scripts, and you don’t need any dongles. This is the differential factor. You can’t do the same on a smartphone, and it’s not supposed to be a smartphone. Why would you need a separate sim card when you can simply tether Internet from your phone?

I get that this device isn’t for you, but there are people who don’t want to write and maintain apps through apps stores and simply want to copy simple scripts into a small device they can have with them. It’s a niche market and good for them for trying to fill that niche.

I wonder what they use for charging port if not usb c…

Let’s not put them on the pedal stool

Except for 🍎

“import” like it’s livestock. Strategically avoiding the word “migration”, too.

Are they leaving, or just expanding?

Imagine asking chatgpt and it tells you to “Google it”

They don’t know, they’re just trying to smoke him out.

You can go a long way with a touchscreen, but the most annoying thing for me is that in Terminal, using touchscreen selects text instead of scrolling. Other than that, mouse is hardly necessary.

Not for me, i just checked again. I can drag what appears to be a thumbnail and it doesn’t behave like a window so i can’t snap it to the side or the grid, and the window is still there so even if there are no other tabs in that window i can’t move the tab to merge with a window below as it’s covered by the first window.

I know I’m a tab juggler 🤹‍♂️

Last i checked on Fedora (40) it didn’t work for me. Firefox also had worse touchscreen support.

I like Firefox as it performs better and uses less resources, the main friction for me would be moving all the passwords from google password manager. I’d also like to keep them in sync with chrome as I’ll still get probably use chrome on other devices, including android.

In the US it’s called “tipping”

Dragging chrome tab to another screen. On windows and chrome os it works fine, i can drag a tab from one window and it becomes a separate window i can place anywhere.

On Linux, as soon as i move the tab, the new window is created but I’m no longer dragging it. It annoys me greatly because i often want to move tab to the other half of the screen, or another screen and i can’t do it in one motion.

And USB A since most devices, USB sticks and peripherals still use that format

And carry them with you everywhere
