That is the price if you ship million of units. Realistically, how many units can ship this? 10k? 20k?

Once you consider the price of the plastic shell molds (custom), the custom keypad, the custom motherboard, the custom assembly line, this price is almost cheap.

I wouldn't even consider a purchase even at a third of the price, but it was a scam if they simply put a sticker on some Alibaba clamshell with stock android, instead here they even partnered with Jolla to have sailfish is as base with the android emulator. That's much more expensive than just slapping android aosp with a minimal launcher and calling it a day

Browser and email is the bare minimum, though.

Even the cheapest clamshells in the 2000s had those two.

Don't preinstall it by default if you want to look minimal but being forced to sideload (their app store blocks this essential category?????) an Android APK in the emulator instead of using native Linux apps for that, is ridiculous

I understand that for a small company like them (it's being owned by a YouTuber now) creating hardware is extremely expensive and 499 can even considered cheap with all the custom stuff in this device, plastic molds, dedicated assembly lines and so on, but my mind can't accept paying more than 149 for something like this

Disclaimer: I wrote "idiot" to describe someone who paid for the product not because they're actually idiots, but it's because Microsoft is treating them like that: their official solution on the website is "simply subscribe to the latest and greatest or buy a new "perpetual" license to office 2024 to continue using what you paid for"

I had to disable bitlocker

The permanent "fix" that i done a few weeks later was to do single boot with fedora and move windows in a VM under KVM

Seems like only the EFI partition is missing. She told me "ls /home/her name" shows stuff but "ls /boot/efi" is empty

Apparently this happened by itself

I should have chosen something like silverblue but I wasn't familiar with that
