All such cyberdeck projects are running rather beefy and/or bad-at-power-management SoCs, which consume 1W+ at idle (with screen off). That's a total bummer for me.

I was pleasantly surprised that imageshack still hosts all the pictures, as all mine from it were gone. UPD: the Eurasia 2005 posts have images from imageshack _us_, all are unavailable.

This website loads a single CPU core to 100% in Firefox on Linux.

There's a simple web interface for scanning, but nothing for printing. I'm thinking on adding more scanning-related functions when I have more buttons and an OLED screen on the print server …

There are feature phones which support applications (not Android-based), but indeed nobody made an OTP authenticator for it.

Email client I guess. Basically the only thing I really miss in the feature phones is email client.

I don't know about the country you live in, but the usual 100% bullet-proof method to make your message seen by the living human being is to send a paper snail mail. You won't necessary rece…

The officially registered company in my country sells feature phones with build-in trojans for years, and I can't make the government agencies do anything about that, or the shops to remove at le…

Software exploits won't stab you with the knife: most probably you won't see any difference and have no idea that your phone is hacked. That's why for vulnerable/high-benefit targe…

I'll tell only about essential less-known ones: - Group Speed Dial, to have a list of favorite websites in a new tab, #1 essential plugin in my opinion! - Awesome RSS, to extract RSS links and pu…

There's at least one video which shows that scanning is blocked in the ink Brother MFC-J9950W https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1arnpkc/... …

In Europe and Asia there was once popular Canon LBP-1120, a 2002-2004 model. You can't use it in modern OS as the driver is for 32-bit Windows only, hence these devices could be bought as low as …

I ask the customer to forward the SSH port over https://ssh-j.com

It's not.

You can, but only manually via SSH. The Wi-Fi credentials are printed on the sticker, along with the QR code to connect, that's why I though it would be strange if you can't use it right awa…

There's OpenAirScan for iPhone/iPad now, which was created somewhat recently, in 2023. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/openairscan/id1663611384 It doesn't …

Right now CUPS does not publish all available custom page formats for label printers in a Windows 11 compatible way for true driverless printing, but some day I'll get my hands on this issue! ht…

Yep, you'll need an OrangePi Zero 3 board, MicroSD, a button, and some soldering skills. Several options for non-KYC cryptocurrency exchanges exist[1], I also accept PayPal (non-RU account). Mail…

No prob! Hope we'll all get great 2D printer some day, from Framework or other user-facing company! It's not that impossible than you may think: several Chinese companies have their own dome…
