Sony Xperia 1 vi presentation slides leaked - MyTechRoundUp
  • "Only"? the last two releases doesn't bode well for the next release. And the whole point would be to have flagship specs and custom ROMs. Releases older than two years don't have flagship specs anymore.

  • Sony Xperia 1 vi presentation slides leaked - MyTechRoundUp
  • The hardware of Sony phones has been so attractive over the years. I had the Z3 & XZ1 years ago and they were great.

    However, the software is lacking. They don't commit to long term OS/security updates.

    The price is also far too high for just a slab.

    This means that there are no ROMs that support recent flagship Sony devices.

    Honestly they don't have to lower the price. If they just opened up the software I would make the jump.

    I'm holding onto the OnePlus 7 Pro for dear life because newer devices feel like such a compromise; great hardware and software is locked down to hinder ROM development or great ROM support and weak hardware.

  • A West Bank village feels helpless after Israeli settlers attack with fire and bullets
  • From a practical sense, they don't. The IDF has a history of protecting violent settlers who attack Palestinians and will attack those Palestinians if they try to defend themselves.

    The US would absolutely not send defensive weapons to Palestinians. The US government is too close to the Israeli government.

    Even at this moment the US says they don't approve of how Israel is waging this war, while they're using weapons the US sent them...

  • The World’s E-Waste Has Reached a Crisis Point
  • I feel a law that would go a long way would be to force companies to release code, drivers, and designs of any product they no longer support. That includes Intellectual Property. If you no longer support a product, then you don't need the IP used on it.

    We either get everything we need to use EOL products however we want, or companies support products much longer to protect their IP.

    1. Check out the inventory here and send me a PM. The Google Sheet is the Master; it stays updated with what's still available.
    2. Provide serial number of item(s), paypal email address, and shipping zip code (I’m 08854, USA).
    3. I will reply with the total price. If you accept, I'll send an invoice request through paypal (make sure your paypal mailing address is up to date).
    4. Once paid, I will share tracking info when I ship.

    My main goal is to get these to people who can use them and save them from the landfill. Check out the inventory in the link above and let me know if you're interested. Some of the Datto ALTO 3 V2 units are missing SATA cables and case bottoms. I can't do anything about the cables, but I will 3D Print case bottoms for those without. when I run out I can provide full 3D print cases. Links to the .STLs are listed below for free if you want to DIY.

    I have some AC adapters, RAM, and drives so you can have a complete unit shipped to you. Just pick and choose matching components from the Sheets to build it. I get these from other sources so they come and go.

    Please check the very bottom of the post for answers before asking a question.

    General Notes

    • Please see Google Sheet (#1 in TLDR) to view inventory status. If all units of a model are sold out, I will strikeout/remove that item above.

    • These units are sold as-is. I cannot guarantee how long they will last. I don't know where/how all of this equipment was used. This is why I test 100% for functionality before listing them.

    • I use Passmark's CPU Benchmarks to get a reference for these units. I've plugged in the CPUs of some listed above.

    1. Here's an AC Adapter I've bought works well:

    2. WiFi/BT m.2 I’ve been referring (non-affiliate link)

    3. Datto BIOS password: R@str

    4. One user reported a Celeron 3855U. I functionally test 100% of units, but not each unit's hardware specs if they are visually identical.

    5. I no longer have OEM case bottoms for any Datto devices.

    6. Datto ALTO 2 units lack 2.5" drive holder. 3D Printed piece will be available for $1.

    7. FREE 3D PRINTED FILES. You're welcome to save a couple dollars and print these components out yourself.

    8. Bottom case screws for the Datto ALTO 3 V2 are M2.5 x 40mm with a pan/flat head.

    9. Bottom case screws for all Datto units (except ALTO 3 V2 & S4X1) are M3 thread. OEM screws have rubber heads that act as feet. I bought socket-head cap screws to use with the 3DP bottom cases which sit inside, letting the case rest directly on the surface.

    10. See Mr. Chromebox for updating ChromeOS or installing Windows, Linux, or Kodi

    11. WiFi Card for ALTO 3 V2. I tested one of these second hand. There are kits on Amazon that come with antennas.

    12. Full 3D Printed case is available for $7.50. It's expensive but it's because I made it extra thick for strength and use heatset inserts.

    13. 3D Printed case bottom only is available for $2.50 while there are half-cases available. Unless specifically requested, either the 20mm or 40mm version will be provided depending on screw availability.

    why does trump support putin so much
  • People throw rumors around that Putin could have material for blackmail on him RE Golden Shower tapes and business dealings with Russian Oligarchs.

    Another, simpler theory is that since he also throws compliments toward other Dictators as well as Putin is that he just admires their ability to do what they want.

    Are you excited for the S24 announcement?
  • If you're only problem with your current phone is the battery, maybe look into replacing the battery.

    Either DIY or bring it to a reputable repair shop.

    I just replaced the battery of my OnePlus 7 Pro (and a backup OnePlus 7 Pro also) myself. Was a lot easier than I thought and now the battery life is great again.

    The SD865 in it is more than capable to tackle anything I do (no heavy gaming or other resource heavy tasks) so instead of spending $800+ on a new phone I spent $25 on a battery.

    I'm also running a custom ROM (crDroid) so I don't have FOMO on the latest software.

    Is it better to put OpenVPN (for PIA) on my OPNsense router, as an LXC on Proxmox, or the (soon to be deprecated) feature in my TrueNAS Scale VM?

    I was going to use the built-in OpenVPN in TrueNAS until I found out it's going to be deprecated.

    I only really need it for the qbitorrent/transmission and prowlarr/jackett (haven't decided yet) apps in TrueNAS, so I don't know what the next best option is.

    I have found plenty of documentation on how to use the integrated OpenVPN feature of TrueNAS, but since the announcement of it's deprecation and future elimination is only ~2 months old, I haven't found any new documentation yet on alternate methods.

    I see stuff about tailscale but that doesn't seem to be what I'm trying to do.

    Thanks.

    With the recent developments of Phillips Hue, I feel like more people should look into Shelly devices. I have a few and they're great.

    Shelly is proud of their devices being:

    • No hub neeeded
    • Not required to be online
    • Compatible all major hubs if you do want to connect them.

    I do not work for Shelly. I just really like how I don't have to use an app for them and they're compatible with seemingly everything. I've bought the devices and I can do what I want with them.

    I had owned two of their smart plugs for a couple of years and they decided to stop responding to resetting and could talk to them. Shelly support sent out two new plugs for me and asked for the defective ones back so they could troubleshoot them. Great service.

    Just seems that privacy-centric people should be using privacy focused devices.

    They are headquartered in Germany so very unlikely they'll go back on their offline compatibility anytime soon.

    I have a new paypal so repeat buyers, don't be surprised. My main goal is to get these to people who can use them and save them from the landfill. Check out the inventory in the link above and let me know if you're interested. Some of the Datto ALTO 3 V2 units are missing SATA cables and case bottoms. I can't do anything about the cables, but I will 3D Print case bottoms for those without. Links to the .STLs are listed below for free if you want to DIY.

    I have some AC adapters, RAM, and drives so you can have a complete unit shipped to you. Just pick and choose matching components from the Sheets to build it. I get these from other sources so they come and go.

    General Notes

    • Please see Google Sheet (#1 in TLDR) to view inventory status. If all units of a model are sold out, I will strikeout/remove that item above.

    • These units are sold as-is. I cannot guarantee how long they will last. I don't know where they come from. I’ve said in earlier posts on reddit, I get them from a metal scrapper who doesn't know computers. This is why I test 100% for functionality before listing them.

    • I use Passmark's CPU Benchmarks to get a reference for these units. I've plugged in the CPUs of some listed above.

    • MiniPCs with limited components (more working units than bottom cases, 2.5" SATA cables) will be sold complete by order priority until I run out, unless requested otherwise.

    • I don't have many 2.5" drive screws. Sorry.

    • User reports these units work on a wide range of voltages, perfect for battery use

    • The Realtek RTL8111 Dual-NIC in many of these models is compatible with FreeBSD, which means they will work with OPNsense and pfSense

    • Redditor u/MrDrMrs flashed the Zotac firmware on a S3X1

    • I have WiFi Antennas for the WiFi models (ALTO 2 & S3X1 WiFi) available for $3. These are the ones I got

    Can we add keyboard shortcuts for navigation? Like upvoting/downvoting

    I'm not going to sit here and pretend that reddit doesn't have some great features, this being one of my favorites.

    The ones I use the most:

    • A for upvote
    • Z for downvote
    • J to highlight next post
    • K to highlight previous post.

    Makes browsing very fast. Typically I click through all the links to different tabs and when I return to the homepage tab I use these shortcuts to fly through all of them and vote so I can refresh the page and they all disappear while still having contributed.

    Can the nice!nano (or a different controller) be connected to PC1 via USB for charging and PC2 to bluetooth?

    I have a work laptop and a personal desktop. I usually use my PC to listen to music or have youtube on in the background while I work. I currently use a Keychron K2. I leave my K2 plugged into my desktop for charging, but will have it connected via bluetooth to my work laptop. That way, I can just use the BT/off/Cable switch on the side to switch between the two.

    I've been doing a lot of research and I want to build the Corne.

    Can the nice!nano do that? Or another controller? Could I just power both halves via a wall wart and BT into both machines?
