first
also anyone have a clue where I can get a good 3.5mm trrs cable? I just hate getting cables off amazon lol
Rats you beat me
radioshack?
best buy
we dont' have radioshack
or a bestbuy near enough
I checked bestbuys website but can't find one on there
I thought Radioshack went bankrupt over a decade ago
I think it still is out there just really small
they apparently have a few stores left, as well s a website back up and running, which I just found out about
actually there may even be a store within 30miles of me
so maybe I can go after all
There are a few “independent” ones I believe
MicroCenter is pretty much the best thing around these days
for brick and mortar
yeah Microcenter is pretty amazing.
I wish there was a microcenter in Alaska
I love microcenter but sad I only get to visit one when I go to Texas to see my brother.
Love microcenter when I lived in cincinatti I had one 10 mins away. Now the closest one is 45minutes away
I recently got into watching "Daily Life in Alaska" videos for some reason
Lol
4 hour drive to chicago or detroit for my nearest one. blows. I lucked out and found a 2060 Super 8GB OC on walmarts site last month, it sold out in an hour heh.. not bad for bots being around and insta-buying all the 3060 ti's
i waited at 1159pm on all 3 major outlets for the 3060 ti, 1000s old out in 30 seconds. All sold out newegg (dozens per brand in stock) in 1 minute.
I'm now only 4 hours from a Microcenter while in college but where I grew up is 6 1/2 hours from one.
I used to like Newegg because they had a depot in the city I grew up in but they just don't have that great of deals anymore.

Unfortunately it’s everything I thought it would be
$800 too jeez
They have been making progress with the hardware acceleration which should help it respond a little more smoothly. Also, the camera they have shown works but they are still working to fully implement the software.
What's the big problem you see with it, well besides the unfortunate price.
I've been watching its development for awhile so I knew basically what it was and was not going to be. I don't care it's thick because you get an upgradable cell chip and wifi chip that are standard pcie so you can replace with future tech. Also the battery is replaceable!
if its thicc i'd rathr just use a cm4 based thing, probably way cheaper too
That would be interesting but part of the reason Lebrem 5 is more expensive then even the Pine Phone is because Purism is developing the software that are being used by the Pine. Purism is also taking the open hardware and no proprietary micro code very seriously.
I hope it takes off and becomes a viable replacement for sure. I remember I got the fisrt android phone that came out the HTC Dream/TMobile G1 and it was super clunky at the time but has definitely come a long way so I hope to see the same from Purism. Right now for me what I see as the biggest pain points is: the overall clunkiness of the UI vs cost as well as vs what's available at the same price point. Examples being the unresponsiveness when loading applications, overall loading times, scrolling frame lag, and when those super old linux games bark at you about outdated drivers that does not instill a lot of confidence. Another big pain point I did not like to see is when he opened up youtube in a browser and that was unsupported. This is pretty big because the os is probably going to have huge lack of support from app companies which is already a pretty big thing even with apple vs android but they usually get away with "oh you can just load our web app and do w.e. you want from there" but there's the possibility that is going to cause issues with librem
