As shitty as M$ is, it would have been nice to see Windows phone become moderately successful and be a third primary mobile os.
I would have rather seen the development of BBOS10. It was so far ahead of its time.
That whole thing we do with swipe gestures to navigate the android interface? Yeah BBOS had that years ago.
I miss my Passport.
That's would just be Windows 11 S ~Mobile~ ~Edition~, but you do not get the option to upgrade to Windows 11 Home ~Mobile~ ~Edition~ as you would on a PC
Or maybe you do get an option, but its a subscription for $50 per quarter-year. 🫠
Meh, that's not real competition... the big one just collude
I didn't hate my Windows Phone when I had one.
I did, it fucking sucked
The year of the Linux mobile is coming.
As long as companies can keep pumping shitty, almost entirely closed off android phones that cost less than 200 dollars for consumers (selling hardware at a loss while making up for data harvesting and sale), "linux mobile" will be just another meme along with "year of the linux desktop"
IS THAT A FUCKING HEADPHONE JACK!?
Let's go 🔥🔥🔥
is this legit?
I want to believe, I really do. But I fear that the crypto apps people have grown dependent on will make it harder than the desktop battle. And IDK but I seem to recall every year since at least 2001 being proclaimed to be the year of the Linux desktop.
I rely on my banking apps (plural), governmental email app, government authentificator app and the governmental LMS app for public schools to make my everyday function. And the last time I tried just a custom ROM, those apps refused to run.
Sign me the fuck up!
The specs look quite decent, and it even has an SD card slot. I really would love to get away from android.
Neat! And a removable battery.
Debian too! Always liked me some Debian, super stable.
okay well goodbye Google, then
what's the alternative here?
I'm not giving up my off the market pixel dungeon mods.
now it's just a race for the giant conglomerates to make the worst decisions for consumers
Your computer no longer "computes", its just a barebones terminal to access a "virtual pc" in the cloud.
Good news, you don't need to pay $1000 for a good laptop, all you need is this $50 windows machine that only runs a client that streams a live feed from MS Headquarters
Bad news, its a subscription, stop paying and you lose all files.
Wait a minute did you type a "Eat The Rich" document, sorry can't have that, violates ToS, deleted.
