@ubuntu All of the above. :P

@dos @kyle And that's not to mention that the modems are not cheap

@kyle I fail to see how the modem and redpine chips are not impactful on security? Yes, you could replace those modules in theory to update the firmware, but that would be highly wasteful. Throwing away perfectly good hardware just because you don't want to update the firmware for certification purposes?

@dos @kyle That would be highly wasteful. Throwing away modules just because you don't want to update the firmware for certification reasons?

@kyle Even disregarding that, what about the fact that RYF certification actually makes the hardware less secure over time as you are not allowed to update isolated firmware?

@kyle You mean the overpriced smartphone that really isn't better off being made in the USA because of the NSA supply/shipping chain compromises?

@ManjaroARM

I would. Just need to get that scaling setup correctly, use the pinephone kernel patches, and get calls and camera working fully.

Would be nice to have the Ubuntu touch morph browser too.

Hopefully the external monitor support of plasma mobile comes soon too, so we can do full convergence. From what I understand, the plan is to get the desktop Plasma shell to launch when plasma mobile is plugged into a monitor.

Anbox would be nice, but not high priority.

@PINE64 When will these ship?

@hj @kde@mastodon.technology There's a crack in my Plasma!
