Thinking of buying a cheap phone with new number to see how it goes. Would like to talk and text though. Any excitement on these new developments and with what is going on with frame works also? Edit: What phone would you recommend to do it with? Pine phone is med range pricing. I currently have a GP6a

A missing wifi driver is too be expected with them, not an exception. permalink fedilink source parent [–] highduc@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) What do you mean? Ofc you'd expect the hardware you buy to actually work, like in all other devices. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social 1 point 3 years ago You're clearly new to Pine64 😉 permalink fedilink source parent
