I would love to put Linux on the computer side for daily use and then use the Android side for high resolution video streaming (Netflix, etc). Looks like a very unique device that will be great for those who can appreciate what it has to offer. Very cool!
At least on Chrome OS, update engine does have a recall feature. The server can say, “if you’ve downloaded and installed an update and you’re waiting to boot into it, cancel it and stick with what you have”
Yup. It could also be hardware failure in the sense of a flakey power button. Either way, it’s probably not people intentionally pushing the power button a lot
While not great as a general file manager, I use this app to launch into the hidden, built in file manager in Android. The major benefit is that it can access apps’ data directories. Every other file manager is blocked from that (at least without root).
I’ll probably hang tight until Pixel 8 comes out.
Who’s your ISP? I’d suspect it’s the ISP treating tethering traffic differently. I notice that on my phone (AT&T postpaid), my phone and tethered computer even get different IPv4 addresses. I’m not saying performance should be identical if they are sharing an IPv4 address, moreso just showing that ISPs can handle tethering traffic differently.
EDIT: just saw you’re on Orange, oops! I don’t know how they operate, they could be handling tethering traffic differently from native mobile.
I have a Galaxy S24 with the gesture bar hidden. It lets me do circle to search by holding down where the gesture bar would be.
