Chiming in to note that GNSS communications are actually receive only. A typical phone can’t physically broadcast a strong enough signal into mid-earth orbit (where most of those satellites typically are) to achieve the “pinging GPS satellites” issue.
Note this only refers to how that signal physically hits your phone. Once your position is deduced and digitized there’s an entirely different attack surface.
The other concerns (especially cell tower data tracking) are valid though.
I use my Framework 13 (Intel 12th gen) for some heavy CPU workloads and it’s been a champ! For the balance of quality, performance, cost, and repairability I really don’t think it can be beat.
You beat me to it! I have the same setup. Did you have any issues with the 39->40 update? It broke my icons in plasma
Agreed. That said, with a few remotes and a cron job git could facilitate “duct tape and zip ties” federation.
Heh, ligma. Nice.
You’ve mentioned a few times that a new framework is firmly out of budget.
Might still be worth keeping an eye out though. They had a sale going a while ago for some units that were pulled for QA. If minor defects don’t bother you it’s possible to get a framework 13 for <1000€ if you’re patient and a bit lucky.
Just use Tailscale or something to try it out!
Sunshine on the desktop, moonlight on the client side. You can even stream games to your phone or a tablet of you’re feeling frisky.
I wish pinephone pro’s weren’t booty. Hardware switches to cut power to everything from the WiFi module to the camera sounds pretty hot in light of this.
Especially with Firefox and derivatives allowing you to run the webpage in an app-like way! I do this for everything from the public transit website in my city to financial sites.
Syncthing is my answer though I appreciate it doesn’t get to the root of your question.
There are local backups that include your system settings, text messages, contacts, call history and (optionally) apps. The one thing I want is the ability to pick a directory for the local backup so I can make it work with syncthing without jumping through hoops.
It’s also compatible with Nextcloud and WebDAV if those are options for you.
