One of the greatest things I miss from Samsung after some time with GrapheneOS is the dex.
The current provided desktop mode is rudimentary, and mostly working. But it has so much potential. We could have all in one device with us, and just plug that into an usb-c dock. Or watch things on big screens in hotels if a mouse emulation on touchscreen like samsung would be supported.
Or, as Samsung already has created this, maybe that could be somehow ported to GrapheneOS via some 3rd party patcher? I'd really like to use samsung clock and gallery, as well, as those are quite a lot better than AOSP ones.
I like GrapheneOS, and the promise of it. Just a few minor things and it would be awesome instead of really good.

An acquaintance at a local hackerspace has no laptop, just a Fairphone 5 and a device that looks like a laptop but is really just an external screen and keyboard. He connects his Ubuntu Touch phone and uses that as a laptop, developing software on it etc.
It's not perfect as a phone (Android apps work rather well from what I've seen (I think the emulator is called Waydroid), but e.g. passing through Bluetooth is an issue so there are limitations) but maybe that's an interesting option for you as well
Motorola was the only one that had something similar AFAIK (Moto's Ready For)
Though I'd expect that all efforts focus on the new Android Desktop Mode now, and then Samsung Dex turns into something akin to what OneUI does with Android, instead of being its own thing
It depends entirely on the organization. The ones my corp runs have security policies which may or may not like Graphene. I've been thinking about making a phone dedicated to work and then keeping a separate personal phone.
I enrolled my graphene into my company's intune, and I had to inject the play services via adb during the enrollment, as of course the graphene doesnt have play services available in the work profile -> unable to enroll it completely without injecting some apk's there
I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but if 89,95M of 90M people are just looking at from the sides for years, I'm still not seeing that this would motivate people to revolt. Same thing as with the young elephant growing up with the chains.
I think I should refrain from commenting political posts, but this one has a possibility of being something major.
However, looking at how the US president has abused power, silenced those who are against the draft dodging crybaby and his league of human trafficking millionaires, I feel this is yet another try to move focus from US domestic probs to something else. I see no honesty or greater reason for this attack or justification for it. While I'm no fan of Iran's autocratic regime, US is slipping towards into being one, as well.
US president has now active war operations in Venezuela, soon lightning the Cuba situation on fire as well, not to forget planning to take Greenland and Canada, too.
That's honestly not bad for the president of peace. Nobel committee should take a look at nominating this guy for a peace prize
It will easily be a victory for him. He's smarter that non-maga give him credit for. Bomb Iran with overwhelming force & it will be a media victory. That doesn't mean that it's right or wrong or that there won't be consequences. But, in the short term it will be a political win. Democrats are already taking the bait and saying that they are outraged that the supreme leader was whacked w/out congressional approval.
It's still flakey, but with the open panthor driver things are working well.
It's usable as is.
By the time linux catches up hardware might be very expensive or missing completely.
So my thinking is buy now, use as is, and maybe later we get better software... The point is the 3588 can actually replace my X86 desktop for ALL purposes except Unity/Unreal which I am glad to not run.
On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.
This is very interesting - engineering is tackling problems others have had to tackle before. With anything from drone economy to personal aircraft coming to life in the near future, to new gear being designed, somebody on HN is working on it.
I tried just yesterday with latest firefox and fedora, screen sharing didn't work out of the box. Only screen sharing by creating a virtual display worked, not sharing the current screen nor tab.
well, a browser owned (and de-owned) by an internet advertising company is enough for me not to ever touch that. We already have a chrome, which is one of the reasons we're in this mess to start with.
Well, System1 was/is a search aggregator. That falls under ad-tech but at the time no-one cared about the former and only the latter.
Lots of browsers make search engines and lots of search engines make browsers, so it made (and still does) make a lot of sense.
I understand seeing ad-tech and immediately expecting the worst, but a quick Look into what it actually meant and I never understood why people were so in arms about it?
Yeah, I'm pretty uncomfortable with Waterfox because of that episode. In the HN thread the creator responded to complaints about this privacy-unfriendly turn by saying that they "tried to stay away from branding Waterfox as" being about privacy or user control. That's fine, but an immediate turnoff for me even now that the advertising company is apparently out of the picture.
If Waterfox isn't about privacy or user control, who knows where it gets sold next or what the dev adds to it next?
Edit: I just realized that the dev is the one who wrote the grandparent comment. Maybe you have an explanation that would help?
Well the issue I’ve always found is that privacy is a sliding scale. At the time especially, everyone was after “absolute” privacy - i.e. everything Tor offers. But people were coming in to use Waterfox with that expectation and it wasn’t meeting it - but communicating how “much” privacy you’re being offered is difficult. I did settle on the current terminology and when people ask in user forums I try and make it clear that it’s a balance of usability and privacy - as much as possible without breaking websites.
Not sure I agree with your understanding wrt Waterfox not being about user control? Always has been and the feature set matches that and that hasn’t changed.
