a few things i like:

  • moments is an interesting concept
  • it says you can toggle off gemini ai. this is good
  • display goes from 10-120hz for battery
  • ultrawide selfie camera
  • microsd card slot!
  • power button fingerprint scanner, way better than underscreen

tbh 600$ is a series pricing.

i'd never heard fireflies called lightning bugs before

I like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Artix, and Devuan.

Hi there, I want a digital video system with a range of about 2 miles, that is also foss friendly. I notice many common systems are proprietary(ex. dji, walksnail, hd0), and would like a free one. Ideally it should integrate with QGC or MP and work on low power.

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

A recent Youtube Web update has added a canvas whenever the seek bar is visible, an HTML5 canvas pops up. This was not asked for and not needed. If you disable canvases for privacy, this will cause a horrific red bad to cover half the screen until you hide the seekbar. Canvases can be used for fingerprinting, which I'm sure Google is doing here.

 
 

I get moving from reddit but just leave your comments up, this just made me have to do guesswork based on OP's reply.

 
 

I've been dealing with this bizarre issue on my Garmin Oregon 450 GPS, and I need help diagnosing and fixing them. For some reason, I can't catch a break with these undocumented unsolved mysteries. Here's the situation:

(Original)Stuck in USB Mode:

When I turned on the GPS, it shows the USB icon as if it's plugged into a computer for file transfer, even though it isn't. If I plug in a USB, it works for file transfer. The issue disappears when I cover the pins from the back case (with the USB port) to the main board with electrical tape. When I do this, the device works perfectly fine, but I need a more permanent solution without relying on tape(outside, if I want to load maps I will need to disassemble my gps). This issue was sort of fixed by resoldering the CMOS battery(which garmin says is not needed - )

Power Button Problem:

After I desoldered and potentially re-soldered the CMOS battery, the GPS starts when I press the power button, but it doesn't boot fully. It powers on but does not complete the boot process. The thing with the CMOS battery is, I don't know if CMOS is the right term. The battery's voltage is lower than a standard cmos bat, at a shocking 0.24V. This causes me to think it's either completely cooked or it's a specialized battery. Either way, garmin's user manual(link) says it is not needed. See page 36, saying "Data Storage Life: Indefinite; no memory battery required"

Steps I've Taken:

I've desoldered and attempted to re-solder the CMOS battery (model 10N4). I've tried electrical tape on the USB pins, which temporarily solves the ghost USB issue completely even if I press the power button. I've put a little bit of isopropyl alcohol down the USB port(device was off, port was disconnected), it's still drying as I type. I have NOT disassembled any further than the secondary back plate with the battery slots. If someone thinks that will help, I will try to.

Can anyone contribute to this discussion? I have found radio silence online. Thank you very much.

Thank you for reading this, and for any ideas you may have.

 

This is wild because I had never heard of this news anywhere. R.I.P. DivestOS, my favorite mobile OS. Anyone know of a project with a similiar goal of deblobbing android?
