  • Cannot see modules for sale in the shop which is rather strange for a modular phone. There is no details of their sourcing concerning rare earth parts . They push the recycling part real high when their documentation shows 450 Kg/year of effective recycling, where does the rest of their current devices come from? Finally They push consumerism quite far in their shop with their bundle buy our current phone and you get a free upgrade towards the next one we launch.

    And what about the bikes they also make and sell? Making one type of good product in such a niche market should be focusing enough not to be distracted in making other household products with vastly different supply chains, especially when you aren’t a multi-billion conglomerate.

    Google deprecated both AOSP phone app and AOSP messenger app a few months ago. Normally, there should be a surge in FOSS replacements for both apps as they are needed by ROM makers to have a good experience (also: i understand it’s not necessarily the most exciting kind of apps to dev yet they are probably among the most risky privacy-wise to make)






  • Realisticaly, i think FSD has the potential to be level 3 officially and probably some car makers have the tech to do it too BUT in the EU, if the car has a level 3 autonomous driving, the car maker becomes legally responsible of accidents when the driving conditions are met ( most EU states limit it to highways). For the time being,only Mercedes had the courage to try it (probably because they have ample knowledge of driving assistance through their trucking production.)






  • Yeah, they probably changed things around since the miband 3 then the 5 I had, it used to eat the battery like there was no tomorrow when left in AOD, it wouldn’t last more than 4/5 days… But then again if you left the AOD on, the OLED screen was so bad (i mean after a few years the clearcoat was so scratched up and the pannel was not enough bright) you couldn’t read the time when the sun was on it. I guess all brands evolve to give better quality… Software wise, pretty happy about gadgetbridge, that was a life saver, xiaomi’s software was deplorable, zepp is even worse, it calls home all day long.



  • Funny, i just went the reverse way, from mi-band to wearOS. I’ve got one of those two screen devices (LCD and OLED) and most of the day, it uses the LCD. Three days is my battery life. Which is ok by my standards. I mainly changed over for the screen size of the notifications and the ability to see the time instantly. Got it second hand, it was much cheaper than new and the state was really good.
