In a classic Flipper Devices move, they offload once again work to the community. This time, its even the community trying to parse the post to begin with. They're just never there to give "back" and all work is always one direction: towards them. Its bad form to make your own community feel less like "community" and more like "free labor" to exploit.
They literally paid Collabora to do FOSS work?

They say pretty directly in the post that they didn't want to deal with the hassles around dongles and uncommon ports for using this as a Linux PC in their pocket.
is usb-c really an uncommon port these days? I think I have more usb-c to hdmi cables lying around than actual hdmi cables
Go to any store, and look at what cable they use to connect their POS computer to the display. It's probably HDMI.
For better or worse, HDMI is extremely ubiquitous.
I like that they try to push for everything open source, let's see how that goes.
I wish there was a LoRa module, that sounds like a nice portable device for that.
Does anyone know why the binary blobs cannot be reverse engineered in the age of AI and recompiled to closely match the original source? Is it for legal reasons? Is it firmware signatures?
Many silicon vendors, when providing said binary blobs to a device OEM or even just documentation or source code for the binary blobs, will make companies agree to a license or other legal terms which prohibits reverse engineering. Often the direct recipient of the binary blobs (the OEM of the device) cannot legally let their employees nor contractors perform the reverse engineering. Generally, unless a similar licen…

Re: the on-device AI, most people don't know what they don't know. And they don't know that there's dozens of on-device AI applications that already exist in the real world using tiny AI models. ESP32-S3's have been doing on-device AI for years . That's a 240MHz processor with 512KB SRAM, 16MB PSRAM and no GPU, and AI works great on it.

If that's crazy to you, let me introduce you to Juicero: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juicero
Am so "teh old", that honestly - I can't say whether or not that product was worse than the "CueCat": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat (Naw - the CueCat was better, at least it was a generic barcode scanner)

> In general, reading comments written by actual humans about how a submission is AI, is preferable to reading a long submission written by AI Not as in general as you think. I don't care who writes comments/article - be you human, LLM, anthropomorphic android, nexus five or six, or my neighbors dog. It definitely doesn't affect anything - if your thoughts are interesting to me, I will be interested in reading them.
In that case, why not instruct an LLM to generate an endless series of articles tailored specifically to your personal interest?
I'm deciding to read something not by answering question "is it LLM written on by human?". But by question - "is it good and interesting?". With the same thoughts I will skip LLM slop as well as humans slop
Cool, but I think they're holding themselves back with that weird form-factor. I would've preferred if they'd included a full QWERTY keyboard, like the the GPD Pocket 4[1] or the GPD Win Mini. With a proper keyboard, I could write code on the go, easily edit files, navigate a terminal and mess with things... and do so much more in general. Also, 8GB RAM is barely enough these days, whereas the GPD comes with upto 64G…
