Not really sure but out of the box it runs better than a roku and I put projectivity launcher on there

I don’t think I’ve found one of the larger boxes at my walmart yet but I got 2 of the sticks to replace old roku streaming sticks and need to replace my Roku ultra but it’s working okay still

My Onn streaming stick I got for $50 looking like a better and better deal as the days go by

Fair, that is how they’re planning to use it because they’re enthusiasts and have several phones around them but according to them it’s a full android OS and isn’t lacking anything just the him screen set to Niagara which you can also change. This is according to Q/As they have answered so all there is reports that are unconfirmed. I have a 2 year old Nothing Phone2 that still runs fine so planning to use that as my secondary phone to the Communicator. That all remains to be seen but I am fine risking it with the Communicator to see how it turns out.

I am interested in both and paid the $200 reservation for a clicks communicator a couple of months ago. The minimal phone will most likely have better specs and I like they state the bootloader is fully unlocked without question. To me the Communicator looks better designed for my use cases with the ergonomics, plastic and textured back and the bumper case they have designed for it are all what I would pick if they asked me what I would want for a modern blackberry style device. The Communicator has magsafe and a 3.5mm jack which I also really want. It runs full android and I already use Niagara launcher on my current device so it lines up almost perfectly with my use cases. The Communicator is further behind schedule it seems and they only have 1 video of a working device so it you’re worried about fulfilment the minimal phone is further along and have already shipped devices in the past.

I have 3 OLED devices, an LG TV, a steamdeck OLED and a tablet all for multiple years and no sign of burn in.

Verizon doesn’t support a lot of unlocked devices even sold from major manufacturers

Thanks for that link there’s 3 subreddits I keep an eye on and haven’t found a replacement and the mobile site and now old are being enshittified. Redlib is working great.

It is still an issue that is easier on plex which is why I run both because I can’t setup and troubleshoot vpns for all my family that has access. Plex is much easier on that way. Jellyfin is great but look what you need to mimic a fraction of plexs power 😆

Yeah dont use a cloudflare tunnel for media streaming

I think it’s an AUR package you can download and configure, probably the one that caused all the security issues for AUR the other week.

They’ve said they’re partnering with Niagara devs to make sure it works seamlessly with the hardware for this phone so you get a full tailored experience with this device.

You can also just pick whatever launcher you want if you’re so inclined.

Not sure if this 100% fits but I used the stacking widgets on Nova for a long while. Switched to Niagara launcher 2 years ago and have 5 widgets set up ay the top of my homescreen that I can swipe through.

They’ll just continue with artificial scarcity until they get sued or fined or something but won’t be enough to offset the profits

Was doing some research on that and appears it’s not available in the US, sad day

I started out self hosting with windows server 2012 because my school was a Microsoft and Cisco partner but mostly ran Linux VMs on it using hardware raid. Ran bitwarden, Plex and a wiki plus a VM with a bunch of docker containers. Ran that for about 3 years and now have been on Unraid for 6 or so years and loving it.

It’s been a while but I used automatic-ripping-machine for a long time and worked well. Definitely going to take a look at this in the coming weeks.

The art of the deal. Which I’ve read so many times I will negotiate you down to just $200 for one of these licenses

I use both at home, mostly plex though and I have about a dozen people who watch remotely and keeping the remote access private and secure I’m not putting jellyfin behind a public reverse proxy. Not feasible to setup wire guard for a dozen people across 4 states and troubleshooting those tunnels when Plex does all that for me. Plus Plex allows them to manage and reset their password without my intervention

You never couldn’t from what they’ve mentioned in the past. Its a full android ROM
