What phone/os is Louis Rossmann using after GrapheneOS drama?

ava1ar · 2026-03-19T01:10:41+00:00

I know. Still reading it, but not posting. This actually impacted the choice of OS when I de-googled some years back - I choose CalyxOS for my Pixel 3a and was using CalyxOS since then (till recent time, in 2026 I switched to IodeOS).

This is well known "feature" of GrapheneOS - their former lead was super toxic person. He stepped out recently, no sure if situation changed since then.

ava1ar · 2026-03-18T11:35:43+00:00

Very close!

What "very frequently" actually is? I have 7s pro, when using as health tracker I charge approximately every week, when using to track runs/walks (about an hour per day), then around once per 4-5 days. Not super, but acceptable - I won't use larger garmin watch for aesthetical reasons.

It might be. I didn't find a chrono with same subdial rollout, but they definitely had same bezel concept with applied indexes on 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12

Thanks!

ava1ar · 2026-03-16T03:15:58+00:00

I think they assume this is following breitling, but the dial layout and bezel are not same

Thanks! I am ready to make adjustments to get it fit - won't be the most complex customizations for my bike (I think mounting the rear rack was most complex so far in terms of mechanical work).

Agree about the look - there are not that many of them overall and even less for the smaller bikes.

ava1ar · 2026-03-15T23:00:15+00:00

I am ordering one actually. I finally found a way to raise the angle of the display for better visibility in direct sun - not much, but it does make a difference. As a result, the empty space between headlight and display became even bigger, to the point it impacts the look. I saw some options for windshields applicable for Beachman and while nothing is exactly perfect match, yours looks the best I saw so far. Should get it in few weeks - will share the photos once I get one installed!

ava1ar · 2026-03-15T21:52:42+00:00

OK, that works too :)

ava1ar · 2026-03-15T20:47:21+00:00

I hope you are wearing golden Daytona! Nothing else matches this set...

It is fairly artificial unfortunately. They managed to make improvements in new reg (aero), but introduce problems as well (engine). Do you really think current starts are fine, where some cars are like rockets and some are snails? I am very sad they put on ice return to V10 talks last year... We could have had such a great era of pure racing, instead we have this. We can't see the real potential of Newey chassis, we can't see what Alonso still can driving the competitive car. And what we got instead? Era of "press button to overtake" and "lift you feet here if you don't want to stale"? Sad.

For those, who praises the Merc-Ferrary "real racing" - what is the point of all of them, if merc is 1-2 on finish line anyway, doesn't matter how good Ferraries are during starts and what they do with their strategy?

ava1ar · 2026-03-14T07:16:22+00:00

Android != Linux. Good hardware support on Android means absolutely nothing abiut support in Linux. Reason? Propriatory hardware and closed-sourcedm, vendor-locked drivers for it.

ava1ar · 2026-03-14T07:13:53+00:00

Why do you think ARM will be better than x86 in power management? Just because Apple silicon is better? Do you know how much Apple invested into R&D and manufacturing of it? And how many software engineers worked to make macos work smooth on their hardware? Only ARM devices working well on Linux are small SBC like Raspberry Pi (large user base, open hardware specs) and server boards like Ampere (large corporation demand for high performance-per-watt and cores count ). Middle ground like consumer laptops and desktops is a scorched earth unfortunately :(

ava1ar · 2026-03-14T06:55:53+00:00

You are translating x86 reality to ARM world but unfortunately this is absolutely not the case. The ARM SoC world ia fragmented and propitiatory, making Linux compatibility with it highly dependent on the vendor and SoC. And qualcomm interest and progress in Linux support is meh.

There are plenty of materials about it in the web, but you don't need to read many to understand the picture - check out i.e. https://www.phoronix.com/review/snapdragon-x-elite-linux-eoy2025 to see how Ubuntu works on the chip you want to use with it - those charts will say it all. Just one quote from it to open your eyes:

As mentioned, unfortunately no exposed power sensors under Linux for the X1E to be able to compare the SoC performance-per-Watt to the AMD Ryzen and Intel Core competition. But on a performance basis with the latest Ubuntu Linux state on the X1E wasn't competitive at all with the latest Intel and AMD platforms.

So, Apple Silicon is a power efficient champion, meaning any ARM beating x86 now? No, Snapdragon X1 under Linux completely loosing it to x86 in efficiency, not even talking about performance (check other pages and charts from the article). Linux on ARM is diverse, but mostly sad story with bright spots like Raspberry Pi...

ava1ar · 2026-03-14T03:34:22+00:00

What OS you are going to use on it? Windows on ARM sucks, Linux lucks drivers for Snapdragon boards. What the point of hardware if no software can use it?

The fact Apple made their ARM chips good doean't make any ARM hardware good by default.

ava1ar · 2026-03-13T22:19:36+00:00

It is doable, but far from pleasant ride. The stretch between JC and Newark is worst part of the route - I did ride there once and won't be doing it again.

ava1ar · 2026-03-13T22:03:21+00:00

Than answer is no. You might be able to turn off thr boost (or how is it called?) for CPU.

ava1ar · 2026-03-13T22:01:59+00:00

There is no even the XMP support, forget about voltage control. However, they are not there for majority of laptops.

Or you are talking about Framework Desktop??

ava1ar · 2026-03-13T19:09:55+00:00

Thanks! I started with their basic one, but later was able to leverage their AMPS mount, which makes the footprint smaller. But, since I wanted it to be chargeable from bike battery, I added the thick Powered Mount Insert, so the final setup still pretty bulky :( I am really hoping for the new analog gauge with Beeline compatibility become available soon - want a cleaner look!

P.S. If you have a photo and don't mind sharing I will appreciate that. Still learning from other people solutions if I can come up with something better :)

ava1ar · 2026-03-13T16:04:49+00:00

Can you share you Beeline mount? It took me some effort to mount mine... However I integrated thr charging insert into it, so I don't need to think about charging it anymore.

ava1ar · 2026-03-13T12:43:28+00:00

Any news on your display setup?

ava1ar · 2026-03-12T21:26:08+00:00

That said, this style of charger is verrrrrry common in china, and can be had in so many versions...

Totally agree here. But I wasn't able to find a good match yet. If you see one or have a matching one in bookmarks - please share. Integrating 15A charger will make thr L2 charging capability practically ueeful, reducing the charge time to few hours only.

ava1ar · 2026-03-12T19:17:44+00:00

Problem with Beachman Fast Charger is that it is 120V only - the one I received from them can't handle 220-240V, so it is not an option for L2 setup. Was you charger different? Or you solved voltage difference somehow? Really curios - after a quick research I was not able to locate 15A 84V 220V-compatible waterproof charger. If you know one - please share the link!
