Wow, I had little idea the readily available tech is this far > Termux, which is an Android app that provides a mix of terminal emulator, lightweight Linux userland, and set of packages that are able to run in that environment. Tim Cook, I know what you know (and fear losing Mac sales to iPad and iPad sales to iPhone, so you want them nerfed), but this would make me upgrade my 2018 iPad Pro. I’d love to be able to le…
Coding without a laptop: Two weeks with AR glasses and Linux on Android

#102I don't know the specifics but it would be better than having to root the phone and use chroot.
It's sad that a phone running java on top of Linux isn't able to run Linux app without big downside like termux and proot. Hopefully it changes.
Re: Coding without a laptop: Two weeks with AR glasses and Linux on Android
#103Does anyone know if these glasses, or any other glasses, can be tried in-person and used on desktop? I'm legally blind, but have just enough vision to use a screen without a screen reader. The problem is I have to be about 6 inches from a 27 inch screen. I'm tall, and I'm almost bent in half to do it. It's been hell on my back and neck. I've only really made it work because I've modified so many things to get around…
If your corrected vision needs stuff 6” away, don’t expect AR or VR to be a solution with current optics

#104I can’t grasp tech professionals who nickel and dime over their setup. Like buying used, not using late gen hardware etc. You’re spending half your awake hours in front of the thing, just buy the latest and greatest.

Glasses like these put the screen at a focal distance further than a monitor, closer to TV distance. Optics wise it’s basically the same as VR, if a VR headset is easier to try. If your corrected vision needs stuff 6” away, don’t expect AR or VR to be a solution with current optics

#109I think the next version of Android is supposed to include a terminal that can run Linux. I don't know the specifics but it would be better than having to root the phone and use chroot. It's sad that a phone running java on top of Linux isn't able to run Linux app without big downside like termux and proot. Hopefully it changes.
it was sorta possible before too, but now, it can start up programs with a window etc (and of course someone ran doom on it)
