  • I did the audio-only part with a separate audio recorder because the phone was full. The video is in a bunch of parts but I don’t remember if any are larger than 2GB. It is FAT32 so maybe they must be smaller. I remember the phone ran out of battery power after maybe an hour, and I plugged in a power bank (10000 mah) and that was enough for the rest of the session.


  • $3000, yowch, but I like the idea of a small-laptop sized screen that is pocket sized. It means being able to read or edit a reasonable amount of text. I don’t need the phone or camera in it for that matter. Actually how about just a foldable HDMI monitor that size, and I can run it from another phone or computer.










  • Can anyone explain why Wayland exists or who cares about it? X has been around forever, it sucks but it works and everything supports it. Alternatives like NeWS came around that were radically better, but were too soon or relied too much on corporate support, so they faded. The GNU project originally intended to write its own thing, but settled for using X. Now there’s Wayland though, which seems like a slight improvement over X, but mostly kind of a lateral move.

    If you’re going to replace X, why not do something a lot better? If not actual NeWS, then something that incorporates some of its ideas. I think Squeak was like that but I don’t know much about it.
