Riding horses, hacking computers, phones and smartwatch.
@neil @cas The goalposts are moving :-(. First it was cellphone, than it had to take photos, and now I'd like fingerrint reader, too...

@geert @bontchev What if your backdoor improves performance? Well... that happened in about Pentium Pro era. And we still don't know what to do with that. Its called "caches" and "speculation" and it leads to very hard to fix information leaks, aka Spectre and Meltdown (and others yet to be discovered) :-(. Too bad it probably was not intentional backdoor.

Ok, so now I have something that could allow video recording in Megapixels 2... in future :-).

After two-rounds of fighting, got Megapixels 2 to work. I already ported my video changes to v1.6.1, so now lets do it again ;-).

@ljs @oleksandr @ptesarik Sure there's a lot more. Plus, you need to deliver the payloads, and launching ICBMs is, literally, rocket science :-).

@cas Give me reliable calls/sms in device of about 100g, and I'll be very happy. Or give me camera and I'll carry op6 ... as a camera :-).

@ptesarik @oleksandr @ljs Plutium in the cores needs to be taken out every few years and reprocessed. That's not a two-week task, AFAIK.

And in the scenarios we are thinking about (and that would be very bad even if they worked out "good"), they would have 30 minutes of warning, not two weeks :-).

@cas I got oneplus 6 because it looks like it will be very useful in future. I broke the android (still would like to recover the recovery and possibly android distro, too; plus the two red warnings during boot are annoying), tried Mobian and found Droidian was way better then expected.

My daily driver is Motorola Droid 4 with triple-boot. OnePlus is just physically too big ("incompatible with my horse").

I'd really like to see at least one camera to work. Fingerprint reader would be interesting. I'd really like to be able to power it down for storage (currently that does not work).

I still won't daily drive it -- would need bigger horse for that :-).

@jlcrawf @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin Ok, so that is a big difference to PinePhone. Its battery life is not great, but I estimate it can do 48 hours in such a light use.

@Natasha_Jay I take that back. This is highway=track, tracktype=4, IIRC.

@Natasha_Jay Everyone knows this should be highway=path :-).

@martijnbraam So... I'm trying to get megapixels to work. 1.6.1 works for me, latest 2.x does not. I have made issue on gitlab. Eventually, my goal is to get video recording to work.

@oleksandr @lkundrak @ljs Yes, playing mad (or being mad) has advantages. But giving madman what he wants is also not a solution... Basically ignore Putler's words, they are lies, anyway.

@ljs @oleksandr (Oh and for the record -- and this is quite dangerous thought -- it is unclear if Russia's nukes are still working. You know, they are quite hard to maintain. I would not be surprised if they had 50% failure rate or more. But... this is probably better left untested).

@ljs @oleksandr Yes, any military target should be ok. Rules of war should still be respected.

@ljs @oleksandr It is hard for democracies to be this kind of "aggresive" unfortunately. Plus, Putin would retaliate, with some terror attacks, and submarine cables cut. Still, it would be good thing.

Anyway, sending strong message would be enough, and there's still plenty of space for that. For example, sending half of czech military equipment to Ukraine now would be good thing (and strong message). We could rely on NATO shelter before rearming...

@ljs @oleksandr Yep, western aircraft over Ukraine would be clear sign that west "has balls", and war would be over (with small chance of ... well.. civilisation being over). I actually believe smaller action would be enough, like banning russian chips from Turkey's waters. ("We have balls, and as a demonstration, we are willing to ignore international agreements. Lang connection to Kaliningrad will be next. Sue us :-). ").

@ljs @oleksandr There's no such thing as international law. (And NATO would be wrong organization to enforce it). Yes, ultimatum would work, provided Putin believed west is willing to do that.

@ljs @oleksandr Well, if west had balls, they could still ship nukes into Ukraine. Not saying would be good idea, but the side willing to escalate has some great advantage...
