Really cool project, wished the video was a bit more technical, but its nice that the schematic is open.
Which really shows one of the things i am trying to prevent in my design, the bulk.
Honestly its very well done that a 11W max 5W idle chip even fits in a mobile form factor, but that results in alot of bulk.
No idea if i can even do it, this person seems far more experienced hardware wise then me, but im still giving it a try.
If you're more interested in the journey than you are a useful phone, this is a great prospect, otherwise I would simply suggest you buy a Fairphone.
My 2¢: the phones spying on us is not done via listening to our microphones but linking ads cookies with IPs and location etc. Turning a microphone off won't prevent from that "now I'm getting the ads for the thing we just talked about" experience. And I think, in general we shouldn't be getting any ads on top of the newsletters we opt-in
I don't mean to say "don't put a mic off switch in", just debunking that myth. Because the real battle (with ads. For sure some spying agencies do use the mic but that's another battle) is on cookies, spying pixels, etc. Not the microphone
Sucking on my tities calling me all the time. I am glad this is being done. This is the stuff I care about. I am excited. I like when people undermine the billionare pdfile corpo.
