I've been working for two years on an open source application platform for ESP32. It's a light-weight operating system that can download and run native applications. I wrote an art…

That app is just an internal one for when people build their own firmware. The external apps have recently moved to https://github.com/ByteWelder/TactilityApps It's still not much,…

I have been considering that hardware, but the UI isn’t currently fit for such small screens. I’m considering T-Embed first, so when that works, it might be easier to adapt for Car…

It’s explained on the website: https://tactility.one/#/building-tactility In short: just make a CMake build of the project without the ESP32 toolset in your path. Currently the bui…

Ease of development: programming WiFi, for example, takes easily 200 lines of code with ESP-IDF SDK. And your credentials will be baked into the ROM as plain text. With Tactility i…

Interesting - never heard of it. I found another project(*) that runs Mobian on a Pi, so that should work. I intend to try out ParrotOS and/or Kali in the future. Perhaps some RTL-…

It's built with a Raspberry Pi CM4 and a 5" touch screen. It has about 6 hours of battery life and batteries are replaceable. The keyboard isn't great, but it's functional. Inspira…

What about Rider from JetBrains?

Alternatively, you can just disable internet access to any of the keyboards via 'Settings' > 'Apps and notifications'.

The regulations in The Netherlands in this regard have recently (May 20160) been updated to prevent fake freelance/independent status. There are a bunch of guidelines, but the main…

If a developer is hit by this while having to deal with hundreds or even thousands of warnings: how would they know when a new warning is introduced in that massive pool of warning…

I want native apps because I want a native experience: Keyboard shortcuts and UX patterns should be consistent throughout most applications. I'm fine with some exceptions (e.g. vid…

Yes: E2EE and not having the ability to scan is a legit alternative. Apple has lost its credibility as a privacy-enabler. That's a real consequence, as opposed to a potential conse…

Even ads on the lock screen (for Microsoft Edge) and through MS-certified drivers (e.g. Corsair iCue, Dolby Atmos).

Please note the "AOSP" mention: I was referring to Android Open Source Project, not the variants with Google's apps and Play Services installed.

The main issue with privacy is not necessarily the initial implementation, but the sliding scale that it permits. Apple's statement that they will ignore "government requests" for …
