Thank you @furilabs@fosstodon.org team for making a phone with good battery life. Just did a 75 minute workout on my indoor bike and logged it all with the #FLX1 Only lost just shy of 20% while connected via bluetooth to my earbuds, heart rate strap, indoor bike. Playing music in gapless, browsing the web in firefox and jotting down notes, processing the hr/bike ble packets and displaying them in my workout app. Great not having "range anxiety" on #mobilelinux hope more devices follow
Was going through some of the #fosdem talks and noticed one on something called #JMAP maintained by #fastmail mainly for managing/syncing contacts and calendars. Is there anything in terms of self hosting a server yet that i can then develop something that will connect to it? I see someone made a nextcloud proxy but i dont really want to spin up a massive nextcloud server just for contacts/calendar. Id like to use it for #mobilelinux so hopefully gnome/kde support it upstream at some point.
@angelthorns@social.treehouse.systems that’s too bad. Glad to hear you are still working on it, do you love it as much as people love it on the android side of things?
It looks like it’s almost the perfect device to carry around. I do wish it had used the 8 gen 3 though as that’s what will be on the valve steam frame so it would have had the kernel backing of valve indirectly.
@angelthorns@social.treehouse.systems how is your pmos ayn Thor going? Curious to see if you’ve tried running steam on it yet?
@shom@gts.shom.dev a while back you were posting about your #PineNote E-Ink tablet, now that you've had it for a while, assuming you still have it, how has it been holding up for you? Do you still use it and enjoy it?
The Mecha Comet #mobilelinux kickstarter has gone live. Comes with either an IMX8M Plus up to 4GB Ram or a IMX95 up to 8GB Ram. Looks like a really nice linux first device running a downstream 6.12 kernel. It has a m.2 slot which can accept a modem for cell service but no ear piece so calls will be speaker mode only. Cameras are already working using the ISP. Hope they meet their timeline of this year as I can’t wait to get mine.

Looks like a really good #jellyfin music player is coming to #mobilelinux hopefully soon. Finamp is flutter based and looks like someone added in a CI for building an arm build recently and it looks great. Seems to require EGL > 1.5 and GLES > 3.0 though for hardware acceleration. This is a nice looking app and hopefully at some point i can run it accelerated on one of my devices i actually carry.
Updated @furilabs@fosstodon.org #FLX1 review is now up! https://blog.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1 Let me know what you guys think and if it covered everything you guys would be interested in. Added in some more battery numbers and simplified some charts. Looking forward to the future progress on the FLX1 and its sister device!
Working through updating the #FLX1 review i wrote up a while ago and my god hopefully future phones I test both do and dont have similar battery life. I want to have full battery life numbers instead of just estimations so from 100% to the phone is off. Standby test without a sim and wifi on the entire time has been going 164 hours and still has another 16% to go. No deep sleep. Luckily the last battery test i need. Im also updating the review structure a bit to show more info.
