LevitatingBusinessMan

I don't get this video. First of all, I thought the purpose of Shortcircuit was to be more unboxing oriented, but to me this video looks more like a budget LTT video. Neither the title or the thumbnail reveil the product the video is about, which I would expect from a product unboxing. Secondly this video was so uninformed. The phone isn't viewed as a privacy focused phone but as a general Linux phone. That's cool and all but then don't pretend like it's the only one. It's almost as if this video was made as soon as the product arrived without even taking a second to google to similiar products. Linux phones have existed for years, and there are companies who have been making them for years. The experience of this random ass phone is not nearly the same as the experience of a phone that uses more well-known desktop environments like Gnome Touch or Plasma Mobile. I wished the video would at least mention those things. If you titled the video "Reviewing the Librem 5, a Linux phone" cool, go ahead and review the phone, and your goal should be to review the experience of using that phone. Don't make bold conclusions on the usability of Linux phones when you've only tested one. Why watch the video if the reviewers knows nothing of the product? I get it, Shortcircuit videos aren't meant to be following a script of some sorts. But at least do some research, and review the product. Don't review the product group, using a single product to represent the rest. It's the same as with the 99$ phone video from a few years back, you can go ahead and review that shit alcatel phone, but don't pretend like it's the only phone in that price range. There's a whole world of budget phones and they bought the worst one and pretended like it was the best. That video got so much criticism that I thought they would remove it, they never even commented on it. Is there anyone on this forum who has noticed the same thing about videos on both LTT and Shortcircuit where there is just completely no research done beforehand? The quality of LTT has dropped so much in my opinion.

@Tristerin @mr moose @Leslieann @NZgamer This is a copypasta. The myth goes that Richard Stallman founder of GNU once wrote this in an email. It's a joke, not meant to be taken literally, I expected the tech savy people on this forum to understand this. And have you guys even watched the video? The copypasta was qouted in the video itself... It's at 8:18: https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Interjection

I think the video covered just about everything important. It was a good video. I think there could have been elaborated on how different Desktop Environments can change the experience with Linux, but that's really the only thing I'd add to the video. Good stuff.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I do, and you clearly didn't know what you were talking about before. The first link goes to DEX-UI, Seena Burns project. Then the link to more screenshots and are GitSquareds project. So you don't know the difference. Before you share these kind of things please know what you are talking about, and credit the author

DEX-UI was not made to actually be usable. Inspired by DEX-UI recently a guy called GitSquared made EDEX-UI. This though, is actually very functional. The terminal used can be changed by editing the json like mentioned. If you install git bash you can make it work on windows with a bash terminal.

Since you joined the forum you have literally only made posts about your issues installing Kali (and a post about removing your bios chip ?!?!) For the love of God stop trying, Kali isn't designed as a desktop OS and it won't make you a hacker

It does look really good Edit: About the airflow, I have a super cheap case which has the same kind of front airflow, just a little grid to the side of the front panel. But with 3 fans in front and 1 in the back it moves air like a beast.

Read the article yourself, that's a quote from MKBHD. Also a lot of people are saying that it shouldn't be suprising for a product to bend so easily, and that if you sit on your ipad it breaking is your own fault. But this thing is a 1000 dollars and breaks in half after the guy put some pressure on it. That thing will bent fast, way too fast. I have used an old iPad which would always be somewhere on my bed for when I wanted to netflix and I probably slept on the thing a couple of times, no problem at all. It sucks having to worry about something you just spend a thousand bucks on to not just completely bend like it's a piece of paper if you accidentally drop your backpack onto something. I know it's not an iPhone and it won't be in someones pocket but I still think a tablet should be able to survive being in the house and not just at the desk

That BitFenix case is actually pretty fucking slick

My username in every place on the internet is either Levitating or LevitatingBusinessMan. Which is based off of this emoji: ?️. Which is dubbed "Man in Business Suite Levitating". I also use the bahroo happy panda emoji a lot as my avatar currently (the one on this forum right now). If you are are willing to take this one, get creative! Edit: If you actually do this I'll probably make some business cards and stickers of the logo, I feel like that should be done

That'd run just about any game on 1080p (I have a ryzen 3 and 1050ti). It has no SSD though, and I don't know if it's worth the money because I don't know what the prices in the UK are

your link's not working Edit: https://www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk/amd-ryzen-2600-1tb-8gb-ddr4-gtx-1050ti-4gb-blitz-computer-gaming-pc.html

Yes, my problem with the video is mostly that people will take the advice, thinking that Alcatel is your best option around that price point. I have seen videos from ltt where I believe they didn't do nearly enough research/comparison to similiar options on the market, but this one is by far the worst.

CTRL+SHIFT+J open the developer console, you should check if any errors are thrown in it when clicking on play
