A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Every review I've seen of them is really bad. Basic things like simply placing or receiving a call do not work properly.

Have you checked SailfishOS? Of course it might have bug once a while but generally they seem to be extremely reliable as phone

I'm still fucking pissed that MS stopped Windows Phone development. My Lumia 950XL was the height of my smartphone experience. Live tiles, so, like, I could just look at my home screen and see how my accounts were doing (yeah, I used to have savings and investments and such) alongside weather and ... a Jedi needs not these things.

But when you get laid off three times in a year, the calculus changes. "Sorry you're fucked, but we don't care" -- IRS

I wanted to try GrapheneOS on an old Pixel, but when I pulled it out of the box, the power button was gone. And you can't really fake it with a ballpoint pen.

Android is Linux based and arguably the most popular mobile OS.
