The pin runs some android based software as the website mentions adb. You can build your own interposer, and they are selling the current official one on Etsy, in a 3d printed case. It doesn’t sound like something made in a factory. I guess it uses some off the shelf usb to jtag chip or similar.

The interposer files are in this repo: https://github.com/MaxMaeder/OpenPin

From the bom it seems it’s just a micro usb to pogo pin converter, no chip mentioned, so the pin has an usb port, but pogo pin form…

Small and easy to wear form factor, monochrome laser projector are the two most uncommon. Also a camera, microphone, a lot other sensors, packed in a tight case. If you build something DIY usually you can’t make it this small.

This is not a well written arricle. They mixes up material design with corporate memphis, which is not necessarily related, they can exist independently.

Their actual problem with google’s ux appears only in this paragraph:

The problem? Google’s actual UI & UX design is terrible. Whether mass-market or enterprise, web or mobile, its interfaces are chaotic and confusing. Every time I use Google Drive or the G Suite admin console, I feel lost. Neither experience nor intuition helps—I feel like an old man seeing a computer for the first time. I used Android for years (stock Android on a Nexus device), yet even after all that time, I struggled to distinguish buttons from plain text.

No examples, no reasoning, no good counter examples how it should be done, nothing. I’m not super familiar with google’s web ux as I only use search and youtube ocasionally. They write here about android, but no android screenshots in the article. So is this about web ux only? Or anything google? The author couldn’t even figure out what is their problem, this article sounds like “old man yells at cloud”

They tried to place them as far from villages as possible for the first one. You can see in the video, the guy had to bike to the middle of nowhere to record it. The problem first appeared in countrywide news after the 3rd one, because that’s much more closer to some residential buildings.

Hungary is not a classic democracy, if you are not a friend of a local oligarch you can’t really do anything about things like this. If they decided about it at the HQ it will happen whatever it takes.

I think the original concept is not inherently bad, you just need careful planning and sound simulations. Current tech can simulate sound waves very precisely. Maybe such a small country doesnt need 3 of these, they should have stopped after the 1st or 2nd one

You coneniently doesn’t include the part where you install the STUN server

There are 3 musical roads in Hungary now, but they exist because you can steal EU/government funds with them easily. You can invoice much higher prices if you add extras like these.

Locals who live nearby hate them, and are lobbying for removal. You hear the melody if only one car is playing the song. If multiple cars driving on the painting you just hear some cacophony. Here is a guy recording next to the road, you can see it can get annoying very quickly: https://youtu.be/G5AxAc1W6qk?t=27

Local joke party placed musical road signs on some very bad quality roads, but with metal song titles, like this:

It’s a well known Hungarian song from the 90s, “Route 67”, the joke is it’s painted on the actual route 67.

Video from the article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM5oX0KbtUw

This is the original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE4aAQCghGs

Here is a translation of the lyrics: https://queensbookasylum.com/2019/10/21/music-monday-67-es-ut-road-67-by-republic/

It doesn’t sound as zero-installation as you wrote in other comments.

At this point I could just install wireguard on the server and use whatever filesharing protocol I want. As I do now, but I think I’m not your target audience anyway.

If I would use your server, than it wouldn’t be really p2p.

How do you solve cgnat? Even if both devices behind different cgnat?

Maybe @[email protected] is right and it’s for some tax benefits. But similar companies usually choose Ireland as a European foothold, if tax avoidance is an important factor.

The companies address on the NZ companies’ office was not updated yet: https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/companies/4136598/detail

And as I can see on other sites it’s still owned by the same Hong Kong company.

That’s not a real office address, if you search for the full address you will get a lot other companies as results.

So that’s an address of a “headquarter provider” company, they are very common in Hungary. In Hungary companies have to pay different taxes based on where their HQ is, and taxes are lower in small villages like Csomád. I don’t know how common is this elsewhere.

Here is a G* streetview of the house: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sQW19pN3c1m4qFuH8 But this should be irrelevant, just to see it’s not even an office building

So they just have a Hungarian shell company? From publicly available local data I found, the company was established on 2025-02-27, with less than 10000 EUR capital.

Maybe they needed it to more easily operate in the EU?

I can’t see any screenshots from the article, all require a bluesky account. At least on twitter you could see images without login before the takeover. I’m alright if a for profit websites hides “their” content behind a login wall, it’s their choice, but how lazy is this “journalism” where they don’t copy the images, they just link to the original tweets or whatever they called on bluesky.

This is a symptom. If police won’t do it’s job there will be some guys who will take it into their own hands. The problem is they have even less oversight than police.

And gitea is the fork of gogs, just to complete the family tree

The alternative is death, so a lot people would choose this instead.

On a surface you should use the surface kernel and its patches: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

If I were you I would pick one from the well documented distros from its wiki: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup#surface-kernel-installation

Obviously it should be possible to install this on any distro, but you can save yourself from a headache if you just follow a tutorial, if you have never done such a thing.

Usually it’s easier if you have the same distro on both of your computers, so you don’t have to think about which computer are you on, it’s simpler if everything is the same. All the same programs available, same repos, etc.

Skype for business was not skype, it was lync, they just renamed it after the acquisition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business

Yes, it’s just iodéOS, which is LineageOS and microg. You can do this with literally any phone if the bootloader can be unlocked. Even easier if it’s officially supported by lineage.

From the specs it sounds like it’s like a Vivo Y28s. It’s not that exact model but something very similar. Same features, same soc, has microsd and headphone jack.

And they are selling it for USD 300. I found this vivo on middle eastern and indian webshops, and it costs less than USD 200.

iodéOS is powered by “LineageOS”

So yes, it also has microG. So it’s the same thing again, as /e/.
