@skye another thing i haven't seen mentioned is there's no consistent boot environment or initial flashing mechanism. arm has uefi but a lot of android devices just kinda use whatever they're given

gpl compliance is a) "email the manufacturer and hope they poop something decent out" and then b) adapt their hacked up kernel to something that linux's usual facilities can handle, there can be a lot of scary work getting e.g. battery charging to work without the proprietary android shit, if you find yourself with a novel enough device/feature/chip you can end up misconfiguring a voltage regulator and killing some of the phone (though i haven't seen that happen personally) which is pretty discouraging

oh also the tooling tends to be shit and you can't get datasheets for a lot of things etccetc

@skye @x4nw probably too late now, but you can add `--depth=1` to the clone to not download the entire project history, i think it's `git fetch --unshallow` if you want to look there later

@lumi pushed updates for more quirks!

@elilla rock[pro]64 nixos support looks quite immature

@davidrevoy cute!!

alem interspersed with isomorph. is so good!! awawawawawa

oh aliexpress reviews my beloved

glove80 assembled! got the switches-not-soldered option and replaced the switches and soldered all of them. it works!

we also had to improvise and use some nanotape to protect the fcc cables from nearby sharp solder joints/pins but !! it is okay! it works (: and it should be fine for now. hopefully we'll still have the will to open it back up to properly cut them when we have a good tool for that

@x4nw i'd be content paying up to like 18.3 USD (// 70 ILS) for one that actually Lasts 7-10 years or somethin but yea
i dont see it on my [local digikey](https://www.digikey.co.il/en) tho so i guess i'll settle for a bunch of the aliexpress ones :pp

ty anyway tho! fyi i actually thought 'plier' was its own thing until Today when i read it in some manual that felt authoritative

@x4nw hello! do you have smol plier recs? cheap, decent, can cut 0.8mil ends off sharp solder joints

i barely solder anymore but i just built something where i need it to not scratch a flex cable

@th how's the remarkable? the price makes me shy away from it every time. also i barely handwrite because of some joint issues.

but the form factor is really appealing nonetheless,,

@skye waiting patiently to find out if you plan to tell :3

@Violet confirmed is yummy
