I am not referring to the chips themselves, but to the ecosystem around and the more often than not unlockable bootloaders and lack of something like bios or UEFI. Even on UEFI you can disable Microsoft keys and install yours, at least on decent ones.
But yes, arm is an easier to reproduce architecture at this time, chip side at least
The overall success of the Intel platform is that bios/UEFI is open so you can install any OS you want. On Arm this is not always the case (see phones and tablets) where more than not vendors lock in OS with an unlockable bootloader and crypto keys.
Also, on Intel, hardware is more standard and so drivers are available, or easily reverse engineered, for non mainstream os (Linux…). On Arm again this is rarely the case, and you are stuck with old not supported kernels when you are lucky
There is one exception to all this on Arm and it’s the Pi (with all the clones). But as far as phones, tablets (including windows tablets) and even laptops (chromeos stuff…) the reality is pretty different and would bring us a locked in future where the choice we have today is luxury.
I think no, a part from much better power management, what advantage does arm offer over Intel compatible?
Also, arm is much more proprietary and less open than Intel, so I hope not
Nothing phones are solid cheap and with freely unlockable bootloader without any shenanigan.
I own one l, a 3a, and I am not affiliated with Nothing.
The problem is app support for x86. Many just are released for arm and arm64.
At least back when I tried it.
Also, power management on x86 sucks hard compared to arm, so expect much higher power usage compared to an Android stick.
It’s a fun project tough…
You are not wrong… Sme here for immich and many others…
We should self host time?
Well, my point was on healthcare and school mostly … But many countries tried some form of UBI, and mostly failed tough.
Free?
Have you ever heard of taxes? That’s the way a society should finance itself, by making sure that everybody contributes to it, proportionally to their means.
Well, that’s the theory… Never really seen that implemented properly but…
It’s called a functional society…
Well, due to hardware encryption keys and such, it’s not that easy… Also many devices supported only works after sniffing the keys from the official apps. Which is not a viable approach in my opinion…
Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. Garmin is still one of the most open brands, you can always copy activities from USB cable if you don’t want to use the proprietary Garmin app.
Free healthcare, basic income, free kindergarten and school at least up to high school?
Something most civilized countries already have.
I would need to mess with stuff and protocols, it should be possibile to get Rid of the proprietary app and maybe once I will have time to do it …
Sorry to say that most sport devices are not supported by gadget bridge
I use endurain since day one and it’s growing fast and good. Dev is very dedicated and progress is significant and solid.
Said so, I always despised Strava and never used it. But I use Garmin platform since I own many garmin devices for run bike and more … And after all these years Garmin stuff, also on software side, keeps being non enshittified
I built a DIY with a 12v chime, a 12v dry contact ZigBee relay, a 12v generator, one ZigBee button and a Tenda two way audio pts external camera .
The 12v (AC) is required by my gate lock. The two way audio depends on a proprietary app (didn’t bother too hard to make it works with Home assistant yet).
Using home assistant I can open the gate and check the camera. To actually talk back I need to open the proprietary app
Cool man! Love it …
And yet immich is still ahold, so I guess futo has been a clear win so far for immich.
While I would prefer gpl3, still futo so far has delivered only good stuff. (I also use futo keyboard and voice typing).
There are more dad’s cats or dad’s dogs?
If the original game runs on Linux, sure.
Otherwise if the original game runs on proton/wine/bottles whatever, I guess it depends and you need to try.
My two cents: if the game already run on Linux, doesn’t matter if it’s emulated native or what, will run both original and pirated.
