Just take out the battery of any phone like a fairphone and most will work.

WOOOOOOO!

Dang…

Hope they come back soon. ;(

Heh coo.

Any idea if SDF is coming back? Loved that lemmy instance and the community around it.

My research was AI. Using a certain ai algorithm to find cancer tumors. The new ai funding is helping out adjacent projects.

Llms im still kinda iffy about since the tech requires a lot of copyrighted works just to get mediocure results.

AI is a HUGE field. But what people talk about is the llm side of things.

The community is pretty split. I know a lot of people are going to think the accoints are bots. Maybe they are.

But ive met people in real life that truely believe in llm ai solving all thier problems. Its not true bur thats what they believe.

Dank pods / James is great. My wife and I like watching during lunch.

nice. Ive thought about getting a smart watch but specifically for blood pressure. But ive seen a lot of reviews saying its not accredited. Which kinda sucks.

I think I either have a 4 or 5. Theres a website that has the batteries. NewPower99.com I got Amazon Kindle D01100 Battery Replacement Kit with Tools. Everything was mostly easy except the glue amazon used was HARD to get off the old battery! It was super stuck. Had to pry off the old battery and that could have gone bad. Risk of Spicy pillows. But it has many weeks worth of battery now.

Its my favorite ATM and its pretty old. I wish I could get another one OR get the screen replaced. I have a couple of spots on mine over the years of usage. I read on it almost every day. Its the only ebook reader that can work with ALL the text from https://wanderinginn.com/ . I bought the ebooks but my eyes hurt reading on the laptop for a long time. Plus I want a break from the same area of the house I work at. The new KOBO cant load more than 10MB of pure text. But the old kindle can!

I cant imagine transferring it to usb c. GL if you do decide to do it! I personally would get a small microusb to usb adapter and call it a day.

AS others have said you are correct. We had to buy a mac mini just to develop at one job.

If you dont make programs for mac then its much easier.

Theres a somewhat famous artist that is in my local area. He did a talk about paper (like papyras and all other kinds). It was fascinating! Over 40 people showed up to his talk.

Gotta keep shit clean

Nice i have a fairphone 4. Such good phones!

My old casio watch works after a decade of use.

My old kindle just got a new battery but its over 14+ years old.

And my CPAP is probably the thing that does the most work for me.

Its sooo gooood!

I got an ouya.

The controllers keys stuck.

You had to give them your credit card in order to get an account.

The games were ok if you could get over the 1/2 second of lag between button press and game.

The one you host yourself.

But im quite partial to piefed.social 😁

Theres a metric ton of Linux devices that are handhelds (like retrogames, music players, etc…etc…). But phones are a special beast.

The drivers are almost ALWAYS binary blobs. If you are a dev and want to make your own OS its not too hard to get the OS on the device…but calls and other such functionalities are difficult without at least some help from the hardware manufacturer. Thats one of the reasons theres a lot of OSes that support phones like the fairphone, because of their open specs.

Ive been part of some Linux ports of tablets and they have a lot of the same parts. Its the special hardware that almost always gets you. Most are just not worth the trouble. Def when you can get a really cheap EXP32 and make an ebook reader. Or a small raspberry pi and make a retro game console. Or make a VERY cheap VOIP phone with a couple of parts like the PaxoPhone. But most people use their phones as the everything device. And if you are not a multi-billion company, its hard to get manufacturers to listen to you.

probably a script kiddie. Theres a ton of automated scripts out there. Or a bad update. IDK.

Oh no! I have kept them in RSS for about a decade. Hope they get back up soon.
