I second that suggestion, just install GrapheneOS. I switched from my iPhone to GOS over 6 months ago and haven’t looked back. It syncs with nextcloud for everything and it’s seamless!

I’m torn. On one hand, $60 is an incredible introductory price for the 4 GB model. On the other hand, it still falls behind the Orange Pi 5, which can be found for very reasonable prices similar to the 8 GB model, and is still even more powerful. There’s no doubt the community support will be outstanding as it always has been for the Raspberry Pi, but as somebody who’s seeking out the highest performance for x86/64 gaming (box86 and box64), I don’t know if I could justify getting a weaker SBC. I still might grab a couple of the 8 GB models to add to my proxmox cluster…

I have the same setup for about a year, even bought a mag safe case for my pixel when I switched to GrapheneOS so I could keep using it. Portable batteries and charging mounts are great and all, but having a mag safe cable is totally pointless. It’s still charges more slowly, produces more heat, and is less efficient. If you’re going to be constrained by a wire you might as well just plug straight in

This is still how we handle printers at work, this is about to become a nightmare

The Pro is faster from what I understand, it seems to support 3.0 or 3.1(?)

Admittedly, NixOS fixes this with a single config file that can rebuild your system in minutes, then the built-in backup tool can restore your files. So yes, absolutely. That being said, that’s limited to a few declarative distros

I second this 👀

Right right, nobody said it was. Just an example of what it could do, but nobody says that was all it could do

Same as previous models, it’s an antenna gap (for mmWave I believe)

I mean you can, but iPhones and some Android devices are the only common devices but I’m aware of that have fast pairing. Your Nintendo switch isn’t capable of having such a fast pairing pop-up

Actually this is pretty wild to me, when did this come about?

They are slower, produce more heat, and waste more energy. Not to mention the fact that you’re actually more constrained on where you put the phone, you can’t pick it up to use it while it continues charging. Wireless charging is worse than almost every way, save for the magsafe mounting system they developed. I’ll give them credit, that’s pretty handy, but in general I don’t understand this push for wireless charging

Samsung’s SmartThings tracker is apparently just as good, strangely enough

I mean the free market did, people decided they just didn’t care. You may have been sarcastic, but people have indeed decided it didn’t matter to them. That’s the “regulation” in this case

I agree. If you want super fast storage, totally fine! Just don’t remove the option to expand later.

I have everything set up to do this as well, but on my Pixel running GrapheneOS I would suddenly lose all network access until I turned TailScale off and back on on my phone. That’s the one thing preventing me from switching over (also certs, since some next cloud applications don’t play nicely with the default cert)

It should be worth noting the tail scale uses wireguard on the back end
