A lot of the libcamera work done on Raspberry Pi boards is going towards improving the camera support on linux phones like the PinePhone, which is great!
Aside from that, sadly a lot of people (including myself) are kind of fed up with Raspberry Pi, after they essentially abandoned their mission during Covid to please corporations, and are preparing to go public despite being a "charity". Broadcom, their SoC supplier, also has left a sour taste in my mouth after their purchase and mass layoffs at VMWare.
If they created a phone it would likely end up being scalped to death, and maybe pretty pricey compared to a PinePhone
Mine was fine with me using a rooted Android after an in person meeting - they just provided me a hardware 2FA device to use instead.
As long as your bank is as understanding, you could use Waydroid or their PWA on a GNU/Linux device
I carry my bicycle into buildings wherever permitted, and make full use of the free staffed bicycle parking & free bus whenever possible. I also have 24/7 keyfob access to secure basement parking at my local train station (did require proof of address + one time fee to sign up). See if you can contact your local municipality as they may have something similar in operation.
Before that, I experienced one attempted theft. At the time my bicycle was locked with just an Axa wheel plug-in chain combo lock (very rare in this country) which is built in to the frame.
Came back to see it on the floor with the electronics gutted: no camera, lights, or bike computer. It was dark and luckily I had emergency lights in my backpack to ride home safely. Reported to police, I tracked down some of the stolen stuff online, and even the shop they were sold to (called to verify), provided serial numbers, police did nothing.
Since the attempted theft I use two D-locks in addition to the built-in one, and have quick release mounts on all my bicycle electronics. I miss when I was studying at university and could leave my bicycle outside the library all night with just a cable lock, with no worries
Cc another user's reply (isn't visible from your instance)
That's not lemmy world, that's the bot configuration for a specific community, chosen by the moderators of that community
What install method did you use? Aur/Flatpak/Binary (DDL)?
Not the commenter you replied to, but these kinds of systems are usually "fail open": if there is unexpected loss of power (including the locking mechanism connection to the controller being interrupted), the door is released/unlocked, and can be opened manually by users.
Some more complex systems will have specific doors automatically shut in the event of a fire to try and keep it contained, depending on local regulations. These doors can still be manually re-opened, but they will not "catch" or latch open until the system fault is resolved
Edit: add clarity
Literally. It even extends to other Lithium based chemistries too, like LiFePo4.
It's not like this information is hiding either - ask a battery manufacturer/distributor for a Li-ion cell's charge cycle data, what you'll find is most manufacturers only guarantee 300-500 cycles before the battery has lost 80% of its usable capacity at 100% DoD and charging to the 100% SoC voltage. Decreasing just the maximum SoC to 90% brings massive battery longevity gains, where estimated cycles increase to 1000 (and beyond in some cases), while still retaining over 80% of the battery's usable capacity.
All my personal devices that I've checked sadly target 100% SoC voltage and charge rate, without regard for the longevity of the battery. Just seems almost like they've just punched in the numbers from the "ABSOLUTE MAX RATINGS" part of the datasheet and called it a day.
It's a little disappointing that a lot of people are under the belief that their product has been designed to last as long as it can, when in most cases this intentionally or accidentally isn't the case right now, in industries outside of backup power and EVs
All BMSs I've come across have this disabled by default sadly, manufacturers seem to target longest device runtime, rather than extended battery longevity
On my FP3 it needs to be enabled in a terminal, while rooted (newer devices have it in the settings).
On my Steam Deck it also needs to be enabled in a terminal, the exact command differs depending on the model of steam deck. An embedded developer or tinkerer will find it very quickly in the kernel sysfs though.
Edit: Apple and Lenovo are the only companies I'm aware of, who have historically cared for the internal batteries in certain models of their laptops. Macbook Pros in particular used to behave differently when they reach 90%, some will stop charging and others will wait a few hours then resume charging to 100% depending on how the machine is used. I assume this is the only reason why my 2012 MBP still is going great on its original battery, running Linux of course.
Lenovo used to let you configure the charge preferences in the BIOS of their ThinkPad line
This was a decade ago though, can't vouch for whether this applies to the modern stuff too
[Redmi Note 13] How to get rid of these notification icons at the top when DND and Mute are enabled?
Jump
Seems to do so on stock Android (FP3)
Mute and vibration sound profiles are independent: I can enable DnD on my device and set it to loud, and it'll still make noise on incoming calls and notifications. DnD just allows fine tuning of a lot of things related to those sound profiles, e.g. exempted apps, hiding notifications, illumimating the notification LED, toggling DnD on a schedule, emergency call bypass for certain contacts, what system sounds are permitted etc.
Persistent notifcation behavior is a bit different, but FB Messenger shouldn't be using those... so I'm making the assumption that OP's issue is due to the manufacturer modifying the DnD behavior on that android rom
Maybe iOS is different in this way
Sounds like a Q5 or a Q7, they are massively oversized vehicles IMO, especially in person if you compare it to audi's smaller A1 or A3.
If the vehicle isn't transporting someone with a disability that needs the extra passenger legroom, I honestly can't think of why a car that big is even necessary...
No
The current FOSS offerings do the calculations on your device, so you'd need the maps downloaded locally. The small apps that stream their tiles from OSM/Jawg/ESRI/Mapbox etc. don't support navigation because of this
Not FOSS but the closest thing you'll get to this is GMaps WV on F-Droid, made by the DivestOS team. Even that does not support navigation though, it only provides directions (usable for me, your mileage may vary...)
You still kinda need to be online to play Steam games
It depends really, I've personally never been prevented from opening a Steam game with or without a connection.
Some other games are less clear - I'll use Palworld as an example: this can be played offline, on a dedicated server on the same network, but it needs to fetch your username from Steam first, and perform some checks using Epic Online Services. As long as it's started by the Steam client it's OK, and the errors regarding EOS servers can be dismissed.
Some people have managed to join official online multiplayer servers using pirated Palworld copies, so I would not expect the current graceful network error handling to be so lenient in future updates.
you can only launch said game with Steam.
Pirated steam games can be started using an open source steam emulator - protection is basically non existent compared to intrusive DRM like Denuvo. Although I do get where you're coming from in regards to the platform & accompanying client software being a closed ecosystem.
Steam's hardware on the other hand, that's open all day long 👌
DRM free option would be GOG games, which doesn't require online and the GOG launcher to play games afaik.
I fully agree.
I'm going to be controversial here with the launcher requirement though: I use Steam because it is a launcher, games store, save file sync client, online social platform, modding client (Workshop) and games library all in one. Any device I pick up - my deck, linux laptop, or windows desktop - will continue from where I left off, without fail.
For that reason the only DRM I'll turn a blind eye to is Steam's own: it never gets in the way of me accessing what I purchased. With Proton/SteamPlay, games originally targeted for Windows work seamlessly on my preferred platform, Linux. If a game is unsupported, it will still set up the compatibility layer for you at your choice, for further investigation at your leisure.
Their policies also prevent developers from revoking games from users' libraries, unless it's a Free To Play title (most of these will have an EULA orange warning box stating such).
DRM should not have to exist at all to be honest, but in the current reality where publishers want some "protection" on their games, I'll either accept the single, most unrestricted one, or head to the open seas 🏴☠️
Great to know this has finally been fixed 💪
I would lean towards either a DS, or switch emulation (using a device such as the Steam Deck, so games that require gyro input such as Super Mario 3D World - can still be played fine)
The DS is really affordable second-hand, and the usual third party SD card carts work just as well. People seem to really like the XL models, so may be worth considering one of those
As for the Switch, you'll likely be able to play your existing physical carts in 20 years time. It's still Nintendo's latest console though, so there's no telling what they may decide to do in future. I think if you have a jailbroken switch you could be in for a difficult time if newer carts use different hardware encryption keys that require a newer firmware...
With emulation though you get to actually own the games and play them on whatever device you want, at any time. The Mii maker and gyro setup does require following some guides to get going, but this stuff is well supported for the Deck (probably similar story for the alternative Windows handhelds but haven't checked). Yuzu's early access Android app already has gyro configured, using the sensors built into your phone. Lastly you can do multiplayer with other Yuzu players over the internet, completely independent of Nintendo's online functionality
I pretty much do precisely this
It is scary to think that people with this much money and influence can be so unhinged - inciting others to make death threats to your city leaders, then proudly tweeting afterwards "I don't care".
Claiming to be interested in funding schemes to solve homelessness, drug use and crime, in addition to additional police, seems kind of nefarious. What essentially boils down to arresting and manhandling individuals that have no money to their name doesn't surprise me coming from a CEO
I pretty much agree with the article writer here:
Tech bros like Tan think they are reinventing whole systems, conjuring terms like “effective accelerationism” to describe their philosophy. But the ancient Greeks already put a name to their core ideas over 2,000 years ago. For example, there’s plutocracy, or rule by the wealthy, and autocracy, rule by dictatorship.
CEOs like this are aiming to indirectly rule/control others with their money
Freetrack in my simulation games is why I still have Windows on my old gaming desktop - the tracking protocol that those sims use isn't supported under Linux 😔 as well as another that specifically looks for the Logitech G hub to interface with the wheel.
Aside from the simulators, I've been gaming on Linux on my deck and haven't run into any issues at all, especially with Proton-GE handy to run "unsupported" titles
Having less personal time and rising electricity costs has made the Deck my primary gaming machine lol.
I don't support games with DRM, so pretty much everything I play works flawlessly on it (as well as "unsupported" titles via Proton GE)
Warehouse job maybe? Needed some cash to hold me over a few years ago while studying. The "interview" was not much more than just completing some employment forms...
It's quite intensive though, you're on your feet for the entire shift. Wear garden gloves, or something protective on your hands, because the repeated handling of the boxes & rolling shrink wrap does cause injury.
