This is the jellyfish h264 demo on a using the 's VPU.

Using the CPU we take 300% of CPU time, using the VPU instead we take 10% (and even that can be optimized further). Using the VPU also saves ~1.5W of power. Thanks go to the and kernel folks for making this possible!

will soon honor -settings-daemons OSD requests: left on the , right on an external screen):

I don't have to use the command line anymore to fetch tickets on my as i made -auth-dialog adaptive (after some yak shaving):

Let's seen when I can run the whole day with the docked and don't have to turn the laptop on for any task:

This is no where near finished but here's some first bits of startup notifications in (i'm usually using on the but I needed something that takes longer to start up so i went for ):

The state of the 's microphone hardware kill switch wasn't indicated so far but that is bound to change:

I always wanted a simple way to do measurements on the with a voltmeter or scope while still having most of the hardware like attached and being able to swap components quickly. Today i got an idea and it works fairly well. I can even flip the whole thing around fairly quickly to measure on the other side and put the whole thing away to free space on the desk:

As of todays -next (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/k) you can run the without any additional patches using the default mainline arm64 . This means distributions can enable it without trouble from 5.12 onwards. The itself needs some more work but it builds a lot on what we have for the devkit.

Besides the scaling from yesterday now also handles single / join display mode via GNOME Settings (arranging outputs, also changing resolution, rotation). There's bugs to be fixed in and to make this fully reliable but if you're careful it's already pretty useful:

Since posting a photo with your phone turned into a laptop is such a trend these days I don't want to miss out with my and a borrowed running :

... and here's the same from yesterday but on a .
For some reason chokes a little compared to the devkit. Patches are all out there now so everyone can build their own encrypted images.

-sdl changes are already merged upstream, thanks @craftyguy

Based on @craftyguy 's -sdl work i added cryptsetup-initramfs support to the 's image-builder so one can build encrypted images too. There's more work needed for this to hit the factory floor but at least one can build own images with encryption once all is merged. The video shows the devkit since this a bit simpler to debug over serial:

@purism I improved keyboard navigation in a bit so the becomes more fun to use when docked:

@purism Built a simple virtual mouse for using virtual-pointer protocol so i can navigate the pointer on the external screen attached to the without having a physical mouse attached. Useful for e.g. presentations when you only connect a beamer.

@purism This is just a quick hack so far but we can now use 's future 'docked' mode to only display 'adaptive' apps when undocked and all apps when docked based on their desktop file information:

@purism While fixing related issues in , and the kernel for the I wanted things to be more automatic. So can now enable a 'docked' mode on screen plug: windows become moveable automatically (and get their close button back), gets disabled and there's a quick setting that lets you toggle that too:
