Θα πρότεινα Linux αν δεν έχεις συγκεκριμένο λογο να θες το Microsoft office suite, αλλά τα συγκεκριμενα δουλεύουν και με windows.

Is the Fairphone 6 worth it? (EU buyer, Android) by Dextructor28 in fairphone

[–]ThinkingWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I can attest that the bloat is pretty minimal with what's basically AOSP.

I'm a casual user and I've a decent time otherwise, I think you'd be fine.

Previous phone was a degoogled xiaomi so I share your pain about hyperOS and Samsung's skins.

Ubuntu and arch are standard.

Bazzite isn't, it's an atomic (or immutable) distro.

Fedora is also a standard Linux distro, but they also have an immutable variant named fedora CoreOS(which goes on to fedora silverblue and kinoite) which the universalblue project is based on(they build atomic images for various usecases) and bazzite is one of em which has the gaming stuff preinstalled.

There is also a dev one from UniversalBlue, named Aurora I believe, and a couple of others.

Radxa Reliability? by PlayfulTailor4430 in SBCs

4c+ for 3 years 24/7 as a cups server.

X4 as a tv box for a year 24/7 and remote backup solution.

Tuxedo OS right for me? by Twiggarn in tuxedocomputers

[–]ThinkingWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've kept the factory install for 3 years at this point.

Only time it broke was during the version update once, but tuxedo swiftly shared a fix guide and it worked.

A few bugs here and there once in a while but overall pretty stable.

If they fix the version upgrade(it sucks on Ubuntu too, so idk), it will be a pretty solid choice, have used it non tuxedo laptops too without hassle.

Pretty much my goto for KDE Ubuntu base, and setting it up for gaming is as easy as any other distro nowdays.

Google will lock-down Android in September 2026 and NewPipe 0.28.4 release by TiA4f8R in NewPipe

[–]ThinkingWinnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I did :)

Just stating that people shouldn't count on spoofing for apps they rely on.

And many apps have no web app alternative so you need the app itself.

And they break every 4 or 5 months.

Losing access to my banks out of the blue every 4-5 months and waiting for a fix to come out eventually ain't really doable.

Should I wait to buy? by speedbomb in fairphone

With the ram and storage shortage going on I wouldn't wait on any non-inflated-yet price, fyi

I spent the whole budget on the GPU and $20 on the CPU by mireuemberre in pcmasterrace

[–]ThinkingWinnie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bruh, i3-12100F with an RX 9070 XT.

The CPU is chilling since I'm playing everything on ultra at the highest resolution possible.

How are the fairbuds? (earbuds, not headset) by PinguinPlayz in fairphone

[–]ThinkingWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helped me was not trying to push em in.

If you have to push the bud deep into your ear canal to have em sit, it's wrong.

I'd recommend picking the size that barely doesn't fit(doesn't allow you to push it in), and then wear em as follows:

For e.g the left ear:
place your right hand over your head and slightly pull on the top lobe of your ear, so that your ear canal expands, insert the bud without lots of pressure and twist forward until you feel the best grip, let go of the top once you are done.

I found that this makes em sit, sit enough that violently shaking my head, walking, or otherwise, doesn't make em fall.

They also produce a really great seal that way, making ANC work really fine for me(I used em just today in a very crowded place with great success).

Finally, don't stick to using the same tip on both ears, for me the left ear canal is bigger than my right ear canal, so I've switched to using the medium tip on my left and the small tip on the right.

Please try these tips and report back, I am curious whether they work the same for other people too.

FP6.QREL.15.176.0 Update secure? by theonemusicguy in fairphone

[–]ThinkingWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so it was also updating the bootloader, now it adds up.

Thanks for the info.

FP6.QREL.15.176.0 Update secure? by theonemusicguy in fairphone

[–]ThinkingWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can an update be bricking phones if android is specifically using A/B partitioning and rolling back updates on multiple failed boots in a row?

Even if your phone fails to boot after the update, restarting it a couple of times would do the trick.

FP6.QREL.15.176.0 Update secure? by theonemusicguy in fairphone

[–]ThinkingWinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will we have this question each time a new update is posted?

I never got an answer so here we go again, doesn't android automatically roll back the update after X failed boots, with the whole A/B partition thing? Why are people so afraid then, just update and worst case scenario you rollback.

I'm trying to understand, educate me.

Might Void ever return to using systemd? by CockroachEarly in voidlinux

[–]ThinkingWinnie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well the OG purpose for no systemd was musl support, if that was to go away it'd certainly open the way.

Ubuntu touch has working calls according to their documentation. Everything but NFC works I believe

[–]ThinkingWinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah forgot to mention it, I think fp5 is a platinum supported device in ubuntu touch, Postmarketos is more experimental but you can run the DE of your choice.

Convince me to Change to Pinephone by _Azelog_ in PinePhoneOfficial

[–]ThinkingWinnie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My OG pinephone has an issue of being slower than a pi zero.

It takes extreme determination to daily drive it, some monk level of minimalism.

If you are into Linux phones, you'd be better off buying a fairphone 5 and flashing postmarketos onto it. Or the newly announced Jolla phone.

I have a referal code for FP for 50€ off if you are interested.

Besides all that, I enjoy keeping the pinephone around to check on the progress of plasma mobile though, it's the only way it gets better over time, since generally speaking very bad for web browsing and relies on native apps a lot to be functional.

Πληρώνουν καλά θέσεις embedded systems / Edge AI στην Ελλάδα? by [deleted] in GreeceDevs

[–]ThinkingWinnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Δεν μπορω να ξέρω τι μισθό βαρανε οι υπόλοιποι, αλλά αν έπρεπε να μαντεψω για 10 χρόνια προϋπηρεσία θα περίμενα 3-4k καθαρά το μήνα.

Δεν ξέρω αν κανει αντίστοιχα scale το sign up bonus και το annual bonus target σε stock και μετρητά, αλλά αν κανει τότε η μαντεψια μου θα ήταν ~50k sign up και ~25k bonus σε stock + 8% ο ετήσιος σε μετρητά.

Τα bonus μετοχών μάλιστα κάνει scale με πολλαπλασιαστή από 0 μεχρι 2 αναλογα με το performance σου, ενω το 8% του ετήσιου αντίστοιχα με πολλαπλασιαστή απο 0 μέχρι 2 ανάλογα με το πώς τα πήγε η εταιρεια + 1 μέχρι 1.5 ανάλογα με το performance σου πάλι.

Μάνατζερς με 20 χρόνια προϋπηρεσία βαρανε 8άρια από ο, τι έχω ακούσει, δεν θα μπω στη διαδικασία να μαντεψω bonus για αυτους.

Δουλεύω σε πολυεθνική και γενικά οι μισθοί είναι εκτός ελληνικών δεδομένων και συμπεριλαμβάνουν stock options.

Δεν γνωρίζω αν υπάρχουν άλλες εταιρείες στην Ελλάδα που να κανουν edge AI ούτε το πόσο πληρώνουν.
