Can you buy only the PCB of the AirGradient Pro (and not the entire kit)?

I have multiple Google accounts, one in each country. This solves the "app not available in your country" issue.

I have a saner list of defaults here: https://gist.github.com/Snuupy/6dbb69bf667385db0a530ccb85926...

Doesn't matter to me if Apple did laptop speaker magic, I want my next laptop to be comparable. ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th gen (and newer), ThinkPad Z16 have good speakers for example so this is definitely doable, just enough people have to want it to happen.

frequently mentioned wifi6 recs right now include Dynalink DL-WRX36 (quad core) and RT3200 (dual core).

As for myself, I'm holding out for wifi6e.

For a trivial use case, try attaching a 1080p monitor to a 1440p laptop and open Microsoft word or task manager. Text will be blurry.

for the 16":

- I would love an option to have upwards firing speakers where flex/numpad space goes instead (one on each side).

- please improve the bass in the speakers. according to notebookcheck's review, framework speakers have poor/near 0 bass output.

- please offer either a 1080p or 4k screen option on the 16". 1440p-ish screens with DPI scaling hackery is no fun and often leads to blurry UIs.

fyi you can create a custom list of addons and tell iceraven to use that custom list, so all extensions can be installed (but are not guaranteed to work) on iceraven now.

One of the previously recommended ANDDEAR MT7612U adapters do not work on usb3 port 1. For MT7612U, get any other adapter but NOT this one. I don't know why this is a problem but it is. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/issues/75

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me will be able to provide some insight.

> both still require owning a hacked switch which is quite a barrier to entry

This has not been necessarily the case for years.

ZMI Ambi (10k mAh/18W) does as well. Likely discontinued and replaced by a newer model now though. Perfect for a rpi UPS.

xposed (lsposed, edxposed, tai chi) lets you hook into apps at runtime if someone was interested in making a mod.

No, I have an ISP supplied router at the moment while I wait for 6e support on openwrt.

You should see similar numbers for the RT3200.

On a 80 Mhz channel with a wifi6 client device, I hit 700/500 (PHY rate is 1200/800).

I frequently see reports of 930mbps (maxed line speeds) with 160 MHz on openwrt forums, assuming you can set up an AP with 160 Mhz.

160 MHz channels are not allowed on the 5 GHz band in Canada, so I currently do not run 160 Mhz.

6 GHz will have plenty of 160 MHz channels, so as you can see that's why I'm waiting for that.

serial console/TFTP/buy from vendors that don't restrict your choice (ubiquiti, netgear, belkin/linksys, some chinavendors come to mind)

RAM is usually fine, just get a decently specced router.

Belkin RT3200, goes on sale at Walmart for $60.

Hi, try Iceraven on android with a custom extension repo. They'll all install but are not guaranteed to work. I have most of those extensions working on Iceraven myself.

I'm waiting excitedly for the 5 bay.

Shout out to librewolf which removes all the dumb Mozilla stuff like Pocket/telemetry (default on)/etc.

I wish firefox would have live captions for audio/video. It's one of the few features Chrome has that I use regularly and miss on FF.

I disagree that if it's difficult/complicated it shouldn't be done. Plenty of complicated testing setups cost thousands of dollars but are done because they give the prospective buyer extremely useful information on purchases.

For example, you can see rtings reviews on audio equipment where they have a test dummy and bring that test dummy onto a train/subway track to test microphone performance or noise cancellation performance.

Testing wireless signals could be done on a private network (say it costs some tens of thousands of dollars) but replicated for a comprehensive list of phones (say, gsmarena style) could be done.

I'm glad awareness is being brought to this issue.

I've been self-hosting meshcentral for many months now. Been mostly solid, except for the following criticism:

  - top notice bar is too big and blocks browser tabs when remoting in (ideally it should be like teamviewer/RDP notification bar, able to be dragged around and compacted)
  - there's a bug where if you click the top bar a few times it'll freeze and crash, forcing a reconnect of the session (it's a logged bug on github, probably will be fixed soon™)
  - can't ctrl-c/v during remote session (but can use the clipboard tool with a few mouse clicks
  - UI leaves a bit to be desired, but the features for remoting in are there and work. I'm glad meshcentral exists.

Otherwise I'm more than happy to not use Teamviewer and not support their scummy tactics.

Also might be worth looking at rustdesk.

FYI they won't work on AT&T because of the IMEI whitelisting.

As much as I'd like them to succeed their phones were always expensive with a mediocre chipset. They always took a long time to release updates (but at least they did!)

LG no longer makes phones but even when they did their software updates were never timely. I am definitely excited for the pinephone pro.

Ah. My bad.

Looking at specs: SD662 6/128 829USD

The hardware BOM should only cost ~200usd. The rest is software sorry/markup for being a small company with limited volume. Not great value and a horizontal keyboard isn't my thing personally but I'm glad they're competing!

Wait til you see Xiaomi's 14 day wait lol
