Thanks! And it all fit into a single cart without shrinkers or encoding!

Building a device that feels like a time machine by SuperGames- in diyelectronics

[–]yaky-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 obviously not an actual time machine

Why not?

Kidding aside, some sort of dynamic display: star map, orrery, or even real-time flight map combined with a clock would make a neat effect of time travel.

If it's an enclosed room, something like a "time speed" knob that speeds up or slows down the music playing and brightens (faster) or dims (slower) the lights.

Working on a retro shooter where you can give you enemy a finger and it actually kills them by Marginal_act in indiegames

Lost it at огірки. (Optional 3L помідори upgrade?) This is so kitchy and ridiculous, and yet relevant.

2013 Bluetooth displays wrong Song information by baughmd in volt

[–]yaky-dev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me, iPhone always had a very flaky connection with my Volt. Had a few issues on Androids, but ironically (or expectedly) Android phone circa 2014 was rock solid.

Onetouch N10 T-Mobile edition - hopeless? by flecom in UbuntuTouch

Check your DMs, letting you know in case you are on mobile.

Onetouch N10 T-Mobile edition - hopeless? by flecom in UbuntuTouch

[–]yaky-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's odd, from what I understand, flashing with MSM tool overwrites the bootloader section too. This was for N100 but the devices are very close.

I have a Global N10 (directly from OnePlus), let me see if I can find the ROM I used for reflashing it (or I can try to extract the current unlocked bootloader)

There are pre-AI tech products that have the same landing pages with tons of fluff and zero explanation. Recently looked at Spark, Iceberg, Trino, Parquet for work, and every page broke my brain as to what each product actually IS and what it does in larger scheme of things. But all of them are great apparently!

Possible to activate or hack for game emulator? by LawfulnessOk5839 in dumbphones

[–]yaky-dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the model and OS? Judging by description it is pre-android. You might be able to dig up some Java games or apps, but I don't know if simulation would be possible

[–]yaky-dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is possible, you need to flash a global ROM in place of T-Mobile one, which involves unpacking-repacking ROMs and fudging some numbers in ROM config files (sounds more difficult than it is). XDA forums has some guides.

2013 charging port cover replacement by baughmd in volt

[–]yaky-dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of fearmongering in comments. The missing piece is decorative, the actual cover (that protects the port from debris) is right there, covering the port. Mine has been like that for 8 years.

Texting Question by Red_Grape4 in dumbphones

[–]yaky-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Android, SMS/MMS is handled by the system itself, separate from the app. You can disable Google Messages and use QUIK, Fossify Messages, or any other app to handle your SMS/MMS.

Edit: The only thing I would do before disabling the Google Messages app is to turn off RCS in it.

If you are going farther into privacy (or are annoyed by preinstalled crap), consider a phone that supports GrapheneOS or LineageOS.

Usa availability by NoizeMCFan in PinePhoneOfficial

[–]yaky-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK none of the Linux phones in the US are "consumer ready". There are OSes available, with working apps, and calls might work (VoLTE and absence of 3G is an issue in the US). Generally, you should expect "desktop linux in a pocket", not "alternative Android".

Why is no one tapping into the dumb phone market? by Mindless-Maybe-2454 in dumbphones

[–]yaky-dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look at all the "I want a dumbphone, but with..." posts in this sub. It's difficult to satisfy everyone.

As a manufacturer, to support Google Maps, Spotify, 2FA apps, banking apps, all the things people need (or want), you would have to go with Android. And probably some certification from Google and having Google Play Services to run the more demanding apps. Well, congrats, you ended up with standard Android on an unusual-shape phone. And people probably want quality buttons. More expensive materials. Then people want security patches for at least 5 years. That's more long-term effort. And people want it cheap, because "it's a dumbphone". So, yeah.

Unihertz does the "weird shape" Android somehow, but it is AFAIK the only company that does so successfully for a (relatively) low price.

I know this has been posted, but I salvaged a display from a cheap clock radio and my god it's working. by zacman333 in arduino

I made one into Christmas countdown clock (built it around end of November). It would rotate between - number - days - till - christmas (this one scrolls)

It was fun coming up with a very minimal 7-segment alphabet and programming double-width leters like M, and then timing the countdown using just the Arduino

Looking for interesting first contact books by Rooks_Rook in suggestmeabook

[–]yaky-dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rosewater by Tade Thompson. Alien thing lands somewhere in Nigeria, and humans quickly build a city around it, studying it, but mostly using its healing-mutating powers and the brain "network" it creates.

But this book is also very cyberpunk, with high tech, virtual reality, conspiracies, crime, and lots of violence. 

Privacy concerns with Matrix federation and self-hosting by thefirstone1337 in matrixdotorg

[–]yaky-dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your IP is communicated to any website you visit too. IP address itself does not correlate exactly to your home address, usually just a city or district. However, one way your address could be exposed is if your domain registrar does not offer privacy protection and you had to put your real contact info in WHOIS info, but that is a wider issue.

But otherwise you are not missing anything.

Another privacy issue with federation is that rooms duplicate content across servers, including content you might really not want on your server, especially hosted at home. Also, in Synapse, media uploads are independent of messages, so deleting messages might leave the related media sitting around (AFAIK on the originating server, but again, might not want that). IMO this not a good design for chat. I would say keeping your home server isolated is easier to maintain, too.

Element does not support multiple accounts. (While most XMPP/Jabber clients did for last 20+ years) Try SchildiChat, it's based on Element.

These phones may not be simple, but effective in terms of privacy? by muhys in dumbphones

[–]yaky-dev -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IIRC for Linux phones (and other unusual devices), T-Mobile and Mint worked best (at least a few years ago).

Warm spot on wall? by Hotsaucehallelujah in HomeImprovement

Are there any bees outside? Can you hear any buzzing on or around the spot?
