there's a guy on youtube who specialises in apple repairs. maybe you could send an email to ask. I also think i saw him doing exactly what you're planning in one of his videos. maybe check it out:
Haha, this unfortunately falls way out of my area of expertise :)
Interesting ideas! I'm don't do mobile dev either, but regarding your first point, I think the idea is very cool, but taking that direction would be very difficult. Achieving what you suggest the easy way is through a mobile app. The problem is that the if we're looking at older phones that are not supported anymore, they aren't secure, so we could run into problems there. The second option you suggested, which is a single purpose ROM seems very cool, but it also seems very daunting, as it is hardware specific from my understanding.
I'm not familiar with the animal prosthetic field too much, but could be an idea.
thank you, and please share more ideas if you can :)
this could be interesting. unfortunately I am not at all familiar with composting so don't understand why this would be useful. could you please explain why temperature monitoring is important for composting, or direct me to somewhere I could read more for myself? I want to learn, thanks :)
Wow. HIGHLY impressed. I'll save this. expect me to ping you with questions when I gather the courage to make one of these!
edit: or rather you could share the parts used here :)
this is amazing. is it custom built or can be bought somewhere?
very interesting. I honestly never considered going without microG. I wonder if it's viable for my usecase.
It's very interesting that OP doesn't use microG. How do you deal with no notifications? Do you use apps with custom (non-google) notification support? What are the disadvantages?
Here's a list of apps I use that are not on OP's list:
- ACCA (root required) | Custom charge cycle
- Antenna Pod | Podcasts
- Birthday Adapter | Pulls birthdays out of contacts and pushes them to your calendar
- Catima | For cupon card and stuff with barcodes
- DuckDuckGo browser | very minimal browser
- GadgetBridge | FOSS client for smart watches (I used it for a MiBand 6)
- Glider for HackerNews | Hackernews mobile client
- LibreOffice viewer | for viewing non-pdf documents
- Mullvad VPN | Privacy respecting VPN with a flat monthly fee
- Notally | Local only note taking app
- OctoDroid | github client
- OpenBoard | keyboard
- OrganicMaps | Ligheweight maps based on OSM
- PDF doc scan | Document Scanner
- QuickWeather | Simple Light weather app (GadgetBridge compatible)
- RadioDroid | Internet radio player
- RH voice | TTS engine
- Signal | Privacy respecting chatting app
- Simple Text Editor | mainly for viewing files
- Usage Direct | Phone usage monitor
Compared to OP, I do use MicroG with LineageOS. I also use quite a few closed source apps (banking apps, uber-like, car/bike sharing, some local apps for public transport, chatting apps, navigation, etc) but I do try my best to avoid them if I can. From time to time I log into Facebook / Instagram or use Google Maps in the browser, but don't have the apps installed.
Nope. Checked it out now and seems to work very well! Thank you @Heine!
doesn't seem open source but aurora store reports way less tracking compared to the adobe one, so this might be an option. thanks!
I'm actually trying to avoid google, but thanks for the recc!!
There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don't want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I'm curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for "colaboration" if the instance is big enough.
