That's an amazing story! I think my coolest story is when I read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy on a Sony Clie and it made the book just the more magical.

I did not. I used Bluetooth to listen to music but designing a pi based MP3 player would be pretty cool n

While some of that would depend on the network, I have had very little issues with calls (Mint Mobile). The only time I had an issue was in a notoriously bad reception area after a tornado.

@ReviewsforNerds thanks might pick it. I have t mobile but have been reading that calls get disconnected all the time with this phone

Hello

There should be chapters. KZfaq should be putting them in for me.

Bro it's a 8 minute video

It’s really good, 5400 mA hour battery and fully charges in about 30 mins (if using the one plus charger). Should last you the whole day and more no problem

In the I mentioned I can sometimes make it over 24 full hours before I get too nervous and charge.

It embarrasses Samsung, Google and Apple. You will not beat the battery and recharge system on this phone. This gentleman in the video compared the OP 12 to a Samsung 24 Ultra...they both have the same Snapdragon chip and perform under load equally. The Samsung has a special variant of the chip made that has increased clock speed but the OP12 keeps right up with it. As far as I am concerned..this was like watching when the Beatles came to the USA LOL I am an oldie obviously . The more you study the technical aspects of the OP12 the more you realize what a game changer this phone is. The 12 and 12R One Plus phones, IMO, are 2024 phone of the year and maybe for the next few years. I have already looked at the OP13 leaks... phenomenal. Samsung, Google, and Apple should be nervous...very nervous. This phone is about half the price of their flagships and can meet and/or beat them. OP12 is definitely a keeper and it is great to see One Plus shake up the market that the Big Three have swamped with over priced phones that do not even give you a charger with their $ 1200 phones! Thank you One Plus!

You are right on the money IMHO. The ability to produce a phone of this quality for this price should have the "big boys" running for the hills.

There was very little latency when I was using this. I assume you could hook a wired keyboard to it but I never tried

@@ReviewsforNerds would you say it would be useful as a second screen for gaming, or not such a fast connection?

Not as shipped. You can add cellular modules I think

nice! I had two of them and sold one to cover the cost of another palm device. I need to make a video about that one. Thank you for watching.

This has dual Xeon processors, and my eventual goal is to expand the ram to 256.

it sure is! New projects have caused me to bring it out of hiding once again.

@@ReviewsforNerds I think I am more likely to get an M5stack Cardputer first and extend the base firmware to enable side-loading custom programs with a standardized and easy-to-use interface. Partly because the Beepy is not currently available, but partly because the Cardputer is much cheaper.

This is the remarkable tablet. the app on your mobile would have the same name. there is no additional application needed on Remarkable to turn handwriting into text.

Part of that debris is already in the dumpster. Lol

Beepy itself cant process the standard gui l, but you can run a cli version of raspbian so I would assume you could do the same if there is a terminal based kali.

Do you know anything about Blackarch? I also found a reddit thread that says you can use netboot.xyz which will allow you to pick and choose what you install on a distro. if you exclude a windows manager you could run a cli version of Kali (I think).

You can keep these things running for some time even after apple stops supporting them

@@ReviewsforNerds you know that you can just use them with old macOS right? No need for linux

yes, but I had a mac running linux so that is what I used. I keep an older macbook around to tinker with linux distros

It was a really cool find. Im thinking of making a long form video on it. Thank you for watching.

I especially like the flickering in between typing. Im thinking of making a long form video on it. Thank you for watching.

it is a fantastic device. Thank you for watching.

That's a name I've not head for some time. Great idea! Thank you!

oh, I would love to see that! Do you have instructions?

@@ReviewsforNerds nah I was kidding thats way above my level. I code python and I am very very very new.

Ants and I do not get along like that. lol

That's one way to do it for sure.

I got everything from palmdb.net

@@ReviewsforNerds Please advise something specific that you have compiled. There are several development environments, what specifically worked for you?

@@ReviewsforNerds Maybe you can make a video about this? HelloWorld)

I haven't compiled anything for the palm. Mostly just gotten it up and running, syncing with windows 11, and played some games.

It's a lot of fun

Maybe hard reset?

@@ReviewsforNerds Thanks!

Thank you but I plan on hanging onto this one. I'm thinking of using epoxy to fill in the cracked glass

I love it. It hides all the cracks.

@@ReviewsforNerds i still dont know if I should keep my fold 4 or buy duo 2 Bro!!

yeah, it was really interesting to watch!

It's pretty nice seeing people out there kayaking and fishing when a few months ago I was walking all the way across the dry lake bed.

if you are using my instructions and are in powershell then you need to use a "./" in front of your commands "./fastboot..." and not "/fastboot..." other than that the commands look correct. ./adb reboot fastboot ./fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_a ./fastboot delete-logical-partition system_ext_b ./fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a ./fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b ./fastboot flash system path to extracted system (whateveryounamedyourimage.img) ./fastboot reboot -w

Such a fun little device

it was magical to watch. I tried to get some extreme zoom action, but with no tripod it was all too blurry.

is that what they were? All I know is it was super cool to watch.

I have had fun tinkering with the Beepy, but haven't touched it in some time.

I am not sure the Pinouts would mount properly for this particular device, but I think there are other devices out there that can handle the full pi

My co-worker went out and played with it. braver than I am for sure.

@@ReviewsforNerds 😨

It was so very weird and fascinating.

Very.

My coworker put on boot, went out there and poked that floating ouch Island.

Specs for the LCD are 400 x 200 Sharp Memory LCD. This device runs a cli based linux so I would assume with a secondary wifi antenna or using both wifi and ethernet one could use this for hacking.

Thank you for the compliment. I remember being fascinated by Palm devices when I was a much younger man. I owned a few over the years and now have a few that I like to tinker with. I would love to see some of your collection. Feel free to shoot me an email sometime.

I appreciate the confidence you have in me, however I would prefer to not take on that responsibility. what happened when you tried to update?

The point of the alcohol was to remove the glue. Thank you for watching

sounds like a bad docking station to me. if you havent already, borrow a known working HDMI cable and charger and plug them into your dock to see if that works. otherwise it might be time for a new dock.

I was pleasantly surprised. The battery life is the best part. not having to constantly worry about charging is very peaceful .

@@ReviewsforNerdsyeah battery life is terrible on my iphone11…. Looking forward to the review on your newest acquisition
