"A new report suggests that Arm Holdings PLC is ending its contract with Qualcomm Inc. which allows the firm to build chip designs based on Arm technology."
While Qualcom and ARM fight will we see an opening forRISC-V emerge as a safer option for large businesses?
Can RISC-V and open source hardware became the low risk option like Linux and other FOSS has?
The Qualcom vs ARM dispute will end up settled in court, this is a legal chess manuver between ARM and it's largest customer who in an IP license 'legal hack' attempt acquired another company to use a more favorable license, but this is an opportunity in a time of instability for CPU hardware alternatives to be discussed not unlike how Crowdstrike outage darkened the reputation of Microsoft windows vs FOSS alternatives as platforms for business.

Hi there,




I purchased one of those aluminum battery casing:




https://pine64.com/product/lithium-battery-casing/




My question is: there is a small PCB inside with 3 ICs on top of it, does this PCB compose a battery protection circuit? That would be a very welcome feature, but I could not find any information about this in the shop or in this forum.

There are four fields in Mobian Trixie SMS/MMS settings
Phone Number - Your Modem's Phone Number ????
MMSC - correct
APN - correct
Proxy - correct

I have not seen a modem phone number on any GSM phone I have ever used.
I ask because I am still not able to view 9 MMSs even though the APN, MMSC, and proxy are verified correct.
I have tried my phone number with local area code and international country code too, phone number is not mentioned on my carrier's internet nor MMS settings.

Good morning,

I was quietly watching a video on YouTube with Firefox when suddenly my pinebook pro restarted. The problem recurred three times.

The computer is not hot and restarts ~20 minutes after the start of the video.

The battery is charged and the computer plugged in.

Here are some diagnostic elements:

Hello. I would like to order a Pinecil V2 with a delivery to an address within China. Wrote an email to "Sales" 2 days ago, but no any response.
Anyone knows how I can manage with that?

Any ideas if:
USB 3.x where hopefully x=1?
SD card slot...of decent speed.
HDMI output.

Now part of this was probably my fault, but I'm having some odd issues with the modem.

I got my Pinephone used from a friend, and when I tried to use my SIM card, it could recognize the SIM card was inserted and the towers it could connect to, but it would never be able to connect. So I thought "Okay it's a driver issue" so I went and used the script available at https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pinephone_modem_sdk but I was tired and didn't think to check the current firmware on the modem and that also didn't work. So then I thought to try to load all the old firmwares until it was fully updated, but now the modem still exists and TRIES to function (it'll show me the settings, the lack of bars, and that there's no SIM inserted or that there is inserted) but I can't see it with

There was a deleted thread today where I posted some crypto-currency services I have seen requested, let's contribute wish list items, I will try to edit every request into this top post.

The old(unfortunately deleted) Mobian app status/catalog pages on showed usable Bitcoin-Electrum and Monero official clients from flatpak( https://flathub.org/setup/Debian ).  It would be useful for you all to post your use cases and what is working for you on any and all platforms mobile and desktop so the community can also suggest solutions. If you are looking to interact with online services for research or where your crypto is held in an account for you by some company(custodial wallet) it is usually easy enough to make a webapp for that sort of thing.

Between here, Reddit, and other forums I recall people wanting more non-custodial wallets and zero-trust p2p exchange services ie: litecoin-electrum, electrum-doge, WoWnero wowlet client, btc-xmr UnstoppableSwap, Havano-Reto XMR market, BTC Bisq market, Etherium, among other FOSS apps preferably with tweaked UIs for mobile though the Mobile Settings - Compositor can probably fix the scale to be useful.

It is useful to know is  how we imagine we and other future users will want to actually use crypto on their PP; are we talking about buying coffee and pizza directly, through the gift card bridge, or bridging through bitpay, using a crypto wallet as a savings account, managing a mining farm, buying a used laptop on moneromarket.io, trading and investing on Kracken or robinhood, or... other? (I am not sure how I feel about the mentioned commercial services vs zero-trust FOSS solutions they are just possible usage examples)

I am running Mobian but all PP distros including libhybris such as Ubuntu-Touch are included.
