Honestly fairphone would also be a good option. One of the most repairable phones, swappable modules (well, replaceable since nobody makes aftermarket modules), and they already have a history of working with 3rd party OS providers.

Do you operate a webserver on them with software service(s)?

I would consider WRT management self hosting, personally. Pi-hole also, but you aren’t running paperless-ngx, pihole, or HomeAssistant on your lightbulb/Shelby switch.

I just got a fairphone 6. Removable battery!

Smart watch:

ZsWatch. They are developing the PPG sensor and I have used their PPG sensor hub driver for my own smart watch project. The guy heading it up is super knowledgable.

Healthy Pi Move this one seems interesting but maybe less open.

Also with GadgerBridge, you can have complete local control of many smart watches like Amazfit (Helio strap is my choice there for accuracy and whoop alternative. Bip3 is also very accurate) and a lot of Garmins and xiaomi.

Huh, interesting. I had the opposite experience.

I mean the tabs are nice, but then everything is just a clusterfuck of randomly made pages, no tags, bad search, and pretty much only a filesystem of organization (especially in a team). Liked the hand-written to OCR feature though.

I only found obsidian a bit ago, but getting into wikilinks with every association to another note makes everything very findable, which is the most important if you are looking for a note you made 6 months ago but only know tertiary info about it.

To each their own!

Wasn’t google DARPA tech that was given to PhD students for a PhD project?

Difference in scale. Very common in new electronics.

If you produce <10k units per year, you are in the “fuck you” category of customers where most companies won’t even give you the time of day, much less data sheets under NDAs, design tools, or actual access to their chips at somewhat reasonable prices. Chips that are 5 years old are often fully open. This is especially egregious in the wearables space… (Not saying it is for this phone, per se)

Also older chips use RAM that can actually still be bought because smartphone companies + AI bullshit haven’t bought all of the stock for the next 2 years.

To be honest, handy is pretty much the best out there, also for multi language STT

I don’t think cellebrite even tries to get into desktop OS’s. I don’t know if there is a tool that targets both that has leaked lists of successful targets like cellebrite that would be a good comparison.

Graphene is definitely more secure than default popular Linux distributions, but there are probably some install scripts out there that make it about equally secure.

But they started diving into crypto tokens so they are on thin ice.

If you want to go really cheap, you can get a used Chromebook for like 50€ and put PMOS on it for full blown Linux 😂

The problem is comoanys’ VBA macros. Many many companies run on excel essentially and have a few spreadsheets using VBA for important things.

Libreoffice has 1st class python scripting support, unlike Microsoft’s shoehorned in environment, so it is much better for scripting.

Sadly, it makes it more difficult to switch.

I was part of tech support for work until last year.

My list of ridiculous bugs is quite long… Even down to basics like the microphone, using Microsoft office at all, windows explorer, and opening teams had bugs where people’s work laptops were unusable for day to day tasks.

Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

That is vibe coding.

And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

That is vibe coding.

So the top 3 contributes are

1. An LLM
2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.

Tried Fedora Silver blue or universalblue spins? Unless you do serious embedded development work (which takes more setup on atomic distros), then I have experienced that it is less work in general in setup and upkeep.

You can buy github stars and forks nowadays.

It is literally a cloudflare tunnel/ tailscale type thing but contained in the app. The only real difference is that it is bundled in the app, so less setup and in exchange, Plex itself is free to harvest all of your data.

Also, accounts. Long promised for community or lowest tier then integrated only in the expensive tier of photoprism IIRC, which made me switch because that only then works for individuals.
