Would PINE64 consider choosing a free software licence (such as the GNU Affero General Public License) for scripts employed on their website?

Somewhere, maybe it was a DOS TSR, I've seen little utility programs that would do things like beep on every keypress while the caps lock key was active.  Or deactivate it after a certain time or number of keypresses.  Not sure how to do that in Linux.

I don't use it often intentionally but it's a lazy way to type macros.  Mostly it's on when I don't want it.

Using my PBP more these days, doing audio recordings with it.  And I just went through a 2 day power outage and the PBP was the only thing that still had a couple hours of battery left.  As winter sets in I'll spend more time with it in my recliner.

I suppose the Linux equivalent of a TSR would be a kernel module.

I'd like to redefine the power switch so it brings up a whiptail confirmation dialog or something like that before it actually shuts off.  Suspend could easily be added to that as another choice.

Is that possible?  I keep hitting it by accident.  I'm using the original Debian Stretch still.  Something like:

Hello everyone,

We’ll soon be starting work on the PineCom - a privacy-oriented handheld communicator that shares the PinePhone’s pedigree but offers a distinct and different feature set. We hope to achieve a high degree of software compatibility between the two devices - indeed, we expect the PineCom to run all existing PinePhone OS images out-of-the-box. Unlike the PinePhone however, the PineCom will not feature a modem but rather rely on WiFi, IoT LoRa and LoRaWan for communications. The device will also be smaller at (5” LCD panel or less), and will not feature a USB-C alt mode for video output. 

Everything else is still up in the air at this point, and we therefore invite you to brainstorm ideas with us regarding the remaining design features of the PineCom. More specifically, we’d like to know your opinion on the following:

1. Do we need both a front and back camera on the PineCom? In fact, do we need any cameras at all? 
   
2. Should we bring over all sensors present on the PinePhone? If so, which do you think we can do without?
   
3. Should we use the same single band/11n/BT4 WiFi module in the PinePhone (for compatibility sake) or change it out for a dual band/11ac/BT5?
   
4. Should the device feature a GPS (and compass) or are those features redundant in this type of device? 
   
5. Should we include SPI flash?
   
6. We are currently considering following the PinePhone’s general design and aesthetic for the PineCom, but if there is some sort of physical (within reason - also financially) that you think would fit this type of device well then make sure to let us know.  
   
7. We’re currently thinking of using a 5” LCD panel for the PineCom; what do you think about this - is there a reason to go bigger or smaller? 
   

Hello,

I set up minicom and the serial cable and watched the whole thing boot.

Everything looks fine otherwise, text input works as expected EXCEPT the enter key.
Pressing enter will echo back 'OM'

How? Why?

Ctrl+m works as a workaround.

Thanks.

Is there any port of Bliss OS on pinephone?  I see some old threads of Bliss OS on pinebook but nothing for pinephone

Thanks

I have no problem using WPA personal to connect to my home wifi. However, at work, there is no option in my phone to connect wpa_enterprise. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible in mobian? thanks

everything is updated, via terminal/kings cross.

Yet, when I attempt to select any category "audio & video", etc., the software application quickly shuts down .

Not sure how to rectify this. Any ideas?

thanks

What do?

So I'm looking for a new laptop and might consider buying a Pinebook at some stage. However, I'm wondering with the right setup whether I can simply use my Pinephone as a PC? So when I'm out and about it's a phone, but when I get home, I "plug it in" and it becomes my home PC.

Cheers,

P.
