Thanks for taking the quote of context. It's not like the sentence as a whole could ever have any more meaning than a snippet of it. As I clearly stated, what is user-controlled is…

I wonder if it will have proper CCD (Case Closed Debugging)[0] support. With CCD, you are pretty much free to mess around with the "BIOS" of the machine, without fear of being put …

I can't find a proper citation, but rounding is undefined. The recommended guideline[0] is to round to the nearest 5¢. This article from 2013 is my closest citation to "undefined b…

While it won't provide "at rest" detection, Apple has released an app for Android devices. - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trac...

Right click the generated map, turns out there's a menu.

The author is likely Canadian given their current biography snippet. There were Radio Shacks in Canada, before they ended up being renamed The Source in 2004[0]. So in 2009, the ye…

Just noting, using Nix it is also possible to build an actual real deal Android image using Robotnix: - https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix/ This is different from a non-Andr…

Conceptually, it needs to take in account the type of date it handles. The question to ask is “does it matter when in the week or a month a date is selected?” or similar. Under the…

You might want to look around the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro communities. Both phones use the EG25-G modem, chosen for better worldwide band availabilities, rather than splitting …

I will wait for an official answer from a Google rep. There is too much at stake to guesstimate on vague phrasing. And still, losing google docs document sharing, and calendar, on …

Any idea if they'll make a "gmail.com" account migration utility down the line? This is extremely concerning for Play store purchases, and anything non-email attached to the "googl…

I figure all play store purchases and similar content are now taken hostage. Are there any ways to migrate those licenses to a "google account"? Or am I being forced to pay to keep…

Only thing missing is indexing of branches and forks. My main use case for GitHub search is identifying provenance of misc. changes in vendor source code tarballs for e.g. Android …

Thinking about situations [...] > where this is objectively bad Thinking here about a smartphone. Note that I'm explaining the current state of things, I am *not* excusing the stat…

I can't say for your particular model, since you didn't list it, but there is generally a trade-off: the arrow keys make the keyboard area larger and less "squared" (rectangled) as…

Yes. Anyone with the hardware is welcome to contribute to nixos-hardware! Even "no-op empty configs" are good imo as they show "there's no magic sauce needed".

Short answer "not really". While it could be used to recover the phone, it requires a "programmer" program, which is signed by the vendor (Google, here) that hasn't been leaked. Or…

For non-musl (so GNU libc), it's the awkwardly named gnu64. To test with the classic test package "hello": $ nix-build ' ' -A pkgsCross.gnu64.hello Note that since this is cross-co…

This is a "normal 'GNU/Linux' distro" (well if NixOS is normal for you). Just like NixOS doesn't prescribe a user interface, it is left to the end-user to choose what they want to …

Again you're right. Though the problem is that NixOS itself still doesn't have the answer for this question. So it's less about "Why Mobile NixOS?" and more "Why NixOS?". Mobile Ni…

> BTW, one thing I don't want to see happen to any of these distros is for PinePhone to be the only actually solid device. I share the same concern. I've been elevating the differe…

Hi, author/lead dev here, I'll be glad to answer questions if any, but please ask at the root and not directly to this comment.
