Day 4 of attempting to daily drive postmarketOS Linux on a OnePlus 6T:

📶 I felt brave this morning, so I handed over my SIM card to Linux. At first, the phone didn't recognise the card, but the wiki page helped me resolve the problem quickly. I had to increase the config value sim_wait_time and reboot the phone to make it work. Mobile data and receiving texts work flawlessly. I haven't tried sending texts and making calls yet.

⏰ Yesterday, I also used the Clock app to set an alarm to wake up and a timer when cooking, and it actually worked fine, even with the phone locked.

🚈 I also had my train ticket checked today. I was able to present the QR code without any issues.

A few more posts like this and I might buy one. (The 6T, not the wife.)

@fell
I have an OG Pinephone (and it mostly just sits in its box and sometimes goes to a conference), but the 6T's specs are definitely... a tad higher, and if PMOS works that well, it seems to be worth it.

Are those shortcut buttons black and white just because they can, or are those smol displays?

"It is possible to make it appear that memory is organized in little-endian format, even though it is maintained by a microprocessor that is inherently big-endian, such as the PowerPC processor. This effect is desirable, for example, when Windows NT runs on a PCI-based Power Macintosh computer, because Windows NT requires memory to appear to be little-endian."

powerpc NT was dead for two years by this point???

I keep seeing letsplays described as "Foobar SMP" and I'm not so much as a nerd that I assume it HAS to mean "symmetric multiprocessing"
But I am enough of a nerd that I instead get "symmetric multi-player"

So I was dumping the HDD of this toshiba laptop, and the keyboard is the same that my other Toshiba uses so I tried and yeah got it to boot! I think it's worth the 20 bucks in parts so I can get it working, probably I'll order them next month

@kiwa I need to swap the ram on my iBook G3 eventually

ozzelot,
@ozzelot@mstdn.social avatar

@kiwa Basically. It doesn't use the onboard RAM in Mac OS, the boot chime sounds a little corrupt, and it only boots once until the next (i think) PRAM reset (luckily, all batteries in it are dead, so that just means pulling the plug). Bit cursed, but mostly operable.

I also got one of these, it's a Motorola F3, a feature phone that has an e-ink display, iirc it's from 2005 or 2006

oh and i forgot, but it also has voice prompts for accessibility, this one has English, Spanish and Portuguese

i need to go and buy a prepaid sim card to see if it's working and ill make a quick video about it, it's pretty cool.

@kiwa I have that thing somewhere!
On the other side of keypad Motorolas, I finally got my V8 running today. Gotta see what I can do with its Linux system.
