@mort @Doomed_Daniel You'd still have to switch it away from your default printer manually.

@gbryant Betteridge's law of headlines 😂

@williamtries There are other issues, some quite annoying, sure, but I haven't had any troubles with calls and call audio on my Librem 5 with PureOS for years now, so I don't think it's as hard as you make it seem. Unless you reach for bleeding edge (I don't see PipeWire stacks as ready for mobile just yet), this is a solved problem; and when you do, there are still some low hanging fruits to reach for in order to solve it.

@bradlinder "It's not enough to build your own"

Hmm, why not? It would be prohibitively expensive and rather pointless, but if that doesn't scare you off all you need should be out there now.

@kop316 Maybe? You've got the designs now. But I'm afraid I have no idea, I have never even 3D printed anything so far 😂

@krafting Far from it. It only has schematics, component placement and 3D model of back cover available (and in case of PinePhone Pro it appears that the schematics aren't even complete, as its USB-C board is still marked "TBD"). No layouts, no CAD files, no mechanical design.

...and SteamOS 3.6.14 with the fix is now out.

Purism has released the Librem 5's mechanical design, adding to already available schematics and PCB layouts.

I think that may make it the first proper Open Hardware smartphone out there.

@foone As if USB-C spec didn't already show us all that explicitly forbidding certain kinds of cables and adapters is not going to change anything regarding their existence and availability 😜

@climagic they: yes, we're PCI Compliant

also they:

@Claire @mcc Is this a thing that actually happens (not counting physically damaged ones)? I'm pretty sure none of my USB 2.0-only USB-C cables is e-marked.

@pavel @cas I mean, that's the only thing I use the camera switch for 😂

@cas What I want is the ability to power gate the modules, which has plenty of use-cases, but most importantly it gives me some control over black-boxed peripherals. Whether it's ultimately controlled by a hardware switch or the OS that I actually control doesn't make much difference - or at least that's what I used to think until I started using the L5 and noticed how convenient the switches are. The PinePhone ones are IMO mostly useless though (maybe aside of the UART one).

@cas I couldn't care less about the security aspect, but I was actually surprised how much I use Librem 5's kill switches. They're so handy! Well, the cellular and WiFi ones at least, I don't think I have ever used the camera one for non-debugging purposes 😜

@eliasr @agx You could see their window already being present in the app list if you unfolded the home screen again while the splash screen was still being displayed.
